'I DON'T GIVE A S--T': Vance Torches Critics of Cartel Strike, Blasts Far-Left Anti-Trump Stooge

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.08.25

Vice President JD Vance isn’t mincing words. On Saturday, he fiercely defended the Trump administration’s targeted strike on Tren de Aragua cartel smugglers.

“Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military,” Vance declared on X.

Far-left activist Brian Krassenstein fired back, calling the strike a “war crime.” Vance’s response? Brutal. “I don’t give a s*** what you call it.” The post has already racked up more than 1.3 million views.

Hours later, Vance doubled down, mocking Democrats: “Democrats: let’s send your kids to die in Russia. Republicans: actually let’s protect our people from the scum of the earth.”

The stakes are deadly serious. In the past decade, hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from synthetic opioids, with fentanyl pouring over the border during the Biden years. Trump’s administration has slammed the door shut — deporting illegals, crushing smugglers, and now striking cartel operatives before they reach U.S. shores.

Just this week, Trump released footage of the military strike in the Caribbean Sea that killed nearly a dozen Tren de Aragua traffickers. The operation, conducted in international waters, wiped out cartel members and their stash of illicit drugs.

Additionally, Trump’s strikes against drug cartels are only getting started, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Rubio said last week that the Trump administration would no longer rely on stopping drug runners when they arrive on U.S. soil.

“Interdiction doesn’t work because these drug cartels — what they do is they know they’re going to lose 2% of their cargo. They bake it into their economics,” Rubio said. “What will stop them is when you blow them up. You get rid of them.”
