Vice President JD Vance announced he will be hosting "The Charlie Kirk Show" on Monday afternoon.

"Please join me as I pay tribute to my friend," Vance wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Vance previously spoke at length about his relationship with the right-wing political activist, recognizing his instrumental role in his 2022 Ohio Senate bid and Trump's 2024 campaign but also in helping the president put his new team together.

That may have been the difference in the last election?

Naturally, they want to keep that going.

Vance unleashed an egregious and audacious stream of lies aimed at ginning up violence from the right. The administration is now assuming control of private media entities for the purpose of inciting civil war.

Vance: "I wanted to zoom out and talk with Stephen [Miller] a little bit and talk about all the ways that we're trying to figure out how to prevent this festering violence that you see on the Left from becoming more and more mainstream."

Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left."

This man would be a disaster as president. He hates half the people in America. Our Democrats in Congress need to be loud and clear in condemning this hate inducing gaslighting by Vance.
