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.”

RFK Jr. claims he had to fire CDC director Susan Monarez because he needed to “make some changes” when he came in to lead HHS.
Not even Fox News' Bret Baier calls him out by reminding him he hired Susan Monarez.
He can't seem to get his lies straight.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Very important info for eg women in violent relationships who maintain a secret phone. Please pass along.
If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb.
The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts

it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
