JD Vance has lost Rand Paul

LET THEM TEAR EACH OTHER APART!

JD Vance
@JDVance

Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.

Rand Paul
@RandPaul

JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.”

Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?

Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??

What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.

Probably not much, especially not much that would have any real world effects.

I certainly can’t disagree with his comment, but I gotta wonder what his angle is. Is this a real rift going back to the senate between Paul and Vance?

Hey J.D., you must have skipped a whole semester of criminal law and one semester of constitutional law. (Additional courses in constitutional law are optional at Yale Law School.)
