Exchange of the Day

August 7, 2024 · 2:18 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. J.D. Vance was questioned by a radio reporter in Detroit:

WWJ NEWSRADIO 950: You’ve been criticized for being a little too serious, a little bit angry sometimes. What makes you smile? What makes you happy?

VANCE: Well, I smile at a lot of things, including bogus questions from the media, man. I mean, look, I think if you watch a full speech that I give, I actually am having a good time out here, and I’m enjoying this. But, look, sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad, but right now, I am angry about what Kamala Harris to this country and has done to the American southern border…

And I think most people in this country, they can be happy-go-lucky sometimes, they can enjoy things sometimes, and they can turn on the news and recognize that what’s going on in this country is a disgrace.
