Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance took aim at Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign swing around the state Saturday in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Harris recently referred to Vance as “loyal only to Trump, not to our country” and a “rubber stamp for [Trump’s] extreme agenda.”
Vance, at the rally, said his time in small business and as a Marine is what keeps him grounded on the real issues in the nation. He then proceeded to attack Harris on her border crisis and other major problems facing the US.
“Now, I saw the other day Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That’s the word she used; loyalty. And it’s an interesting word. Semper Fi: loyalty, because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border,” said Vance.
The Ohio senator went on to slam the performance by Harris as Biden’s border czar.
“And I’d like to ask the vice president, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country.”
Vance added, “and my running mate took a bullet for this country. So my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”
In response to the crowd of applause from his own side, Vance paraphrased himself.
“And the answer, my friends, is nothing. So let’s send a message to the media. Let’s send a message to Kamala Harris. Let’s send a message to every hardworking patriot from Minnesota across the country. We are ready to have President Donald J. Trump back, and we’re going to work our tails off to make sure it happens,” he concluded.
In another poll released Friday, former President Trump has 46% support in Minnesota to Vice President Harris’ 52%.
Trump and Vance will hold a second campaign rally on Tuesday in Henderson, Nevada.
