Republican Party Vice Presidential Candidate JD Vance he tried with the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Wednesday afternoon in Erie discussing the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
During an event at the Team Hardinger transportation and storage company, Vance was asked about alleged incident at Arlington National Cemeterywhere two Trump campaign officials got into a verbal and physical altercation with a cemetery employee while the former president was there Donald Trump The visit took place on the third anniversary of the deaths of 13 soldiers who died during the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
“I think, first and foremost, the fight at Arlington is the media creating a story, when I really don’t think there is one,” Vance said in response. “Our veterans care that three years ago, 13 brave, innocent Americans died, and they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job, and there was not one investigation, not one discharge. Look, sometimes mistakes happen. That’s the nature of government, the nature of military service. But for those 13 Americans to lose their lives and not one discharge, that’s shameful.
“Let’s talk about the story of 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives. It’s about Kamala Harris being so sleepy at the wheel that she doesn’t even want to investigate what happened. And she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up… she… can go to hell.”
The former Marine recounted his experiences during a 34-minute speech and explained why they helped prepare him to fight for the No. 2 position in the country.
“What’s great about the Marine Corps is whether you’re a 19-year-old kid, a 23-year-old fresh out of college, or a 45-year-old who’s been in the Marine Corps for 25 years, the Marine Corps demands leadership, lets you make mistakes, and teaches you how to learn from them. That’s the most important thing about being a vice president. You have to be able to lead.”
Vance also predicted how much the Trump campaign will spend traveling around the Commonwealth over the next 70 days.
“You all in Pennsylvania are going to be sick of me for the next two months because I practically live here, the state of Pennsylvania,” he said. “Because this is such an important state to us. Think of all the powerful interests. The broken bureaucracies in this country. The people who got rich by sending your jobs to China. They want Kamala Harris.”
“The only way to defeat them… and the only way to defend ourselves is in November. Win Pennsylvania, reelect Donald Trump and take back this country.”
