Critics Rip JD Vance For Totally One-Sided Call To Tone Down 'Inflammatory' Rhetoric
HuffPost
The Ohio senator didn't mention Donald Trump's role in heated political rhetoric.
Critics are calling out Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) for demanding that “the left” tone down its rhetoric while taking little responsibility for the inflammatory comments from both himself and his running mate, Donald Trump.
Speaking after another attempt on Trump’s life, Vance called for a “reduction in the ridiculous and inflammatory political rhetoric.”
“We cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist and if he’s elected it is gonna be the end of American democracy,” he insisted.
Yet Trump has used that exact word ― “fascist” ― to describe Vice President Kamala Harris and also claimed she would be the end of the nation.
Trump has also called her a “radical left lunatic,” “Marxist” and a “communist,” among other things. He’s claimed that Harris is trying to “destroy” the country, and told supporters that if Harris wins “you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”
