JD Vance's pro segregation remark: "'I want to live next to people who I have something in common with" [View all]

Said oct 29th on a podcast


When discussing the Haitian population in Springfield, he noted that some landlords were charging more money so multiple families could stay in an apartment meant for fewer people, which drives up costs for everyone else. I often heard that complaint when doing some reporting for another outlet. But instead of stopping there, he went much further.

“It is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four or five families of strangers.”

He also said some in the neighborhood might think, “Wait a second. What is going on here? I don't know these people. They don't speak the same language that I do."

America's new policy is segregation. JD Vance said as much. | Opinion https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2025/11/01/jd-vance-new-york-post-podcast-segregation/86990034007/
