Senator JD Vance (R-OH) sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris during a recent campaign stop, focusing on the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border and Harris’ role in exacerbating the situation over the past three-and-a-half years.
Vance, who is running for vice president alongside former President Donald Trump, delivered his remarks while campaigning for the 2024 Republican ticket in North Carolina.
“Our message to Kamala Harris is, HOW DARE YOU call people a racist for wanting to close down that wide-open border,” Vance said. “Our message to Kamala Harris is, HOW DARE YOU call the citizens of your own country ‘bad people’ because they don’t want a flood of illegal migration in their country.”
He continued, “Kamala Harris, HOW DARE YOU attack the citizens of your own country for not wanting their children to die of fentanyl overdoses. Kamala Harris, HOW DARE YOU call the citizens of your own country ‘bad people.’ YOU’RE A BAD PERSON for causing this border crisis. We are NOT bad people for complaining about it.”

In addition to criticizing Harris on border issues, Vance addressed the broader economic challenges under the Biden-Harris administration and offered some advice to the vice president on how to better serve the American people.
“To Kamala Harris, we have one final message on the economy and I’ve got some advice for you, Kamala, on how to answer this question about your specific plans. No more word salad about how you grew up in a middle-class family. Unleash American energy and unleash American workers,” Vance said. “That’s how you open up this country, and that’s how you lower prices for American citizens.”
