#VicePresident #KamalaHarris apparently #believes—wrongly—that she has no #influence on #Racist #antiimmigrant #sentiment in #America, because she has effectively #capitulated to #MAGA #messaging.
#VicePresident #KamalaHarris's Churchillian #Speech.
#President #JoeBiden may have said all the right things to #VolodymyrZelensky when they met on Sept. 26 in the #WhiteHouse, words that must have been nice for the #Ukrainian #president to hear.
#VicePresident #KamalaHarris says she would 'double' #DOJ #resources to #CrackDown on #drug #cartels.
Her comments were followed by #falseclaims from #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump that she wants to #legalize #fentanyl.
Vice President Kamala Harris said that she would "double" Department of Justice resources to crack down on cartels and cut the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., just hours after former President Donald Trump repeated his claim that she wants to legalize the drug.
After #VicePresident #KamalaHarris Calls for a #Crackdown on #Fentanyl, #Trump #Misrepresents Her #Position
VP Harris vowed to combat the flow of fentanyl into the country when she visited the #border on Friday. #ConvictedFelon #DonaldJTrump quickly spread #Disinformation in response.

The city of Springfield in Clark County, Ohio, has had an uneasy relationship with resident Haitians whipped up into threats and hate crimes by the baseless rhetoric of JD Vance and Donald Trump.

#ChastenButtigieg #destroys #ShadyVance’s #claim that #Trump is “a #personofcharacter”
Buttigieg responded by #reposting one of Trump's most #shocking #comments of all time.
#ShadyVance #criticized an #infrastructure #law as a #candidate then #embraced it as a #senator
He sought more than $200 million in #federal #money made available through the #law for #projects across his #state.
JD Vance once criticized a bipartisan 2021 law that invested billions in America’s crumbling infrastructure. He called it a “huge mistake” that spent taxpayer dollars on “really crazy stuff.” But the first-term Ohio senator and Republican vice-presidential nominee has still sought more than $200 million in funding through the law. That's according to records reviewed by The Associated Press. Vance is hardly alone among Republicans who condemned Democratic-led spending enacted only to benefit from money for popular projects. But the harsh terms he used to attack a bipartisan achievement during the Biden administration stand out as Vance has become a national figure whose words carry more weight.
