JD Vance's Bold Claim About 'Character' Leads To Immediate Fact-Check
HuffPost
The GOP VP candidate's latest claim quickly backfired on social media.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) tried to attack Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday ― but his critics said it sounded more like an argument against Donald Trump instead.
Vance, who is Trump’s running mate, said the election isn’t just about issues but character.
“The most important thing is not that we agree on 100% of the issues, it’s that we have a person of character and courage under fire in the Oval Office,” he said as he recounted Trump surviving two assassination attempts.
He compared that to Harris, who he called “a woman who is so afraid of the American media ― the friendly media ― that she won’t even do an interview.”
Harris was actually doing an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle at around the same time Vance was speaking.
