Vice President JD Vance visited the Ohio steel plant where his own grandfather worked this week and used part of the visit to outline the accomplishments of the Trump administration, especially with regards to immigration and jobs.
At one point, Vance retold the story of a child predator who Minnesota Governor Tim Walz tried to rescue from deportation by giving him a pardon. Vance said that the Trump administration deported the man anyway, eliciting applause from the audience.
That story is a good reminder of just how crazy Democrats have become.

“Walz asked the country what good it accomplished. ‘Did that make us any safer?’ That is a DIRECT QUOTE from the Democrat GOVERNOR of Minnesota.”
“To which I’d say, as the father of four young children: 10 year olds and everybody else can breathe a little bit easier in Minnesota.

“What I’m most proud of in the last 18 months: do you know that ALL net job growth over the past 18 months went to NATIVE BORN AMERICANS?
“Reversing a trend for four years where it all went to foreign people!”

Like Trump, Vance understands retail politics. He also clearly loves people, which certainly helps.
