Vice-President JD Vance brought the crowd to its feet after slapping down a fake news reporter trying to spread fear about President Trump’s motives regarding securing America’s elections.
As WSBT reported, Vance delivered remarks on Wednesday at a manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills, which focused on topics ranging from national security, jobs, deregulation, crime, immigration, and election integrity.
He also touted President Trump’s success in cutting taxes, shutting down the border, and reducing crime.
Following Vance’s remarks, a reporter decided to entrap the Vice-President by accusing Trump of trying to take over federal elections.
Trump, in the past, has suggested the federal government should ‘take over the voting’ in certain blue states, which have few guardrails against voter fraud.
The White House has since clarified that Trump was talking about the SAVE America Act, which imposes a Voter ID requirement.
The SAVE America Act is an absolutely critical measure that requires every American to show ID to cast a ballot. It also requires proof of citizenship BEFORE registering to vote.
Democrats are in meltdown mode because, should the measure pass, they will find stealing elections far more challenging.
Vance’s reply to the reporter was absolutely perfect. He told him that if ensuring everyone has a voter ID means the federal government intervening in an election, then of course it’s justified.
The crowd went wild after Vance finished.
WATCH:
WOW! JD Vance just gave a FIRE response to a reporter asking if Trump was going to “nationalize elections”
“If what you mean by intervening in the election is we want voter ID before voting in this country, then YES!”
And the crowd went freaking wild
