During a recent campaign stop, vice presidential candidate JD Vance shared a personal story about speaking with former President Donald Trump following the second assassination attempt on his life.
“The media lies obsessively, of course, about President Trump. But, I actually think there’s something really important that I learned about him a few weeks ago and that was after the second assassination attempt,” Vance said, teeing up a story for the crowd.
“After a second assassination attempt, the President called me and told me what had just happened. I said, ‘Oh my God, sir — are you okay? ‘Clearly, you’re physically okay. but that’s a traumatic thing to happen — a second assassination attempt in as many months.’ And he says, ‘Yeah, I’m doing fine. I’m kind of pissed off because I was about to make a birdie on the sixth hole and the Secret Service wouldn’t let me finish.'”
“It occurred to me in that moment that that’s the kind of person you want in the Oval Office when the world goes to hell. Because you never know how somebody is going to act under a moment of crisis until you actually see their response under that moment of crisis,” Vance continued.
“You’ve got Kamala Harris who runs from the friendly American media — can we trust that person to negotiate for us with Vladimir Putin…Xi Jinping…of course we can’t!”
