There’s a certain freedom in being unapologetically pro-American, not to mention joy, as Vice President JD Vance demonstrated Thursday.
Speaking at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Vance saw his appearance somewhat marred when a TDS-sufferer carrying what appeared to be a Mexican flag and a Palestinian flag tried to disrupt events. But the vice president did not miss a beat in putting the fool in his place.
“What the people at home missed is that we just had a protester interrupt us and waving the Mexican flag,” Vance explained. “Well my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your *ss over there — I’ll buy you the plane ticket!”
A protester just interrupted Vice President JD Vance waving both a Mexican flag & a Palestinian Authority flag.
Without missing a beat, Vance replied, “If you love Mexico so much, then get your a** over there.”
The RNC Convention erupted with cheers & chants of, “USA!”

Vance also reminded voters what’s at stake in November, urging them not to allow a policy difference here or there to prevent them from supporting the GOP over Democratic candidates, whom he said come from “the party of hatred.”
“Don’t give the country over to a bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with us on a policy issue here or there,” he said in his remarks. “Recognize the achievements of the last 18 months. We have done a lot, my friends, and we can do a lot more if we fight together.”
An example of that hatred was seen Thursday when U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) stoked dangerous anti-white racism by falsely suggesting that black people are being lynched in America today.
Pressley called it a “national crisis,” while fellow squad member AOC backed her claim by declaring, “This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S. I’m proud to have signed onto [Pressley‘s] letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.”

Community Notes corrected the false accusations by pointing out that most cases were ruled suicides, with the one pending homicide probe being centered around a black person of interest: “Most reported 2026 Black hangings were ruled suicides by police/MEs with no foul play (e.g. Bassinga, Nzita, Jackson). One (Fortune) is a homicide probe pending autopsy, Black POI. None confirmed as lynchings or racial terror.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
That was some pure American energy right there. Good shit Vance.🇺🇸

He doesn’t look Mexican or Palestinian, I could be wrong obviously but why did he disrespect the flag by throwing it. I mean that’s if he really “cared”. I’d say that was someone seeking attention.
