JD Vance Torches Newsom in Fiery Immigration Speech
Vice President JD Vance called on everyone, especially Democrats, to tone down violent rhetoric in politics, specifically against law enforcement.
“When Democrats like Gavin Newsom say that these people are part of an authoritarian government, when the left-wing media lies about what they’re doing, when they lie about who they’re arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement—what they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence,” Vance said during a speech in North Carolina on Wednesday.
“You don’t have to agree with my immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell,” Vance declared.
“Political violence has gotten out of control in this country. We’ve got to stop it. We’ve got to condemn it. And that starts, unfortunately, at the very top of the Democratic Party,” Vance said.
“If you want to stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror,” the VP said.
“I would like everybody—whether a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, especially those in political leadership—can we all just agree that our police officers are heroes, that they are public servants, and that the first and most important step of keeping all of us safe is to keep our police officers safe, because they are the thin blue line between civilization and chaos,” Vance added.

“I don’t know if you all have followed the news and we’re still learning a little bit about it—but what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility, an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility, was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist. A person who wrote anti-ICE messaging on their bullets. And there’s some evidence that we have that’s not yet public, but we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border,” Vance said.
Vance added, “And I think that is the most disgusting thing. The very people who keep us safe ought to be honored and protected and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike. It is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement.”
Vance then tore into NBC for publishing a false story about ICE and an autistic girl.
“Just yesterday, NBC News—maybe the worst of all the fake news, and I’m sure we have an NBC reporter out there, it’s a tough competition, my friends, to be clear, but maybe the worst. I said maybe the worst is NBC News. And they said that immigration enforcement—do you know what they said? They said immigration enforcement had detained a 5-year-old autistic girl in order to get to that girl’s father,” Vance argued.
Vance continued, “Turned out that story was a complete fabrication. It was a complete dishonest lie. But when you go around and lie about our law enforcement, and you tell them that they’re mistreating 5-year-old girls, what do you think is going to happen?”
“When Democratic politicians encourage doxing, when they encourage us to unmask ICE enforcement officers, what do you think is going to happen? When the mayor of Los Angeles encourages violent protesters to get in the face of our law enforcement, what do you think is going to happen?” the VP asked.
He concluded, “What’s going to happen is political violence. And political violence has gotten out of control in this country. We’ve got to stop it. We’ve got to condemn it. And that starts, unfortunately, at the very top of the Democratic Party. If you want to stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror. That’s the way that we stop political violence in this country. And we’ve got to do it.”
