JD Vance destroys media for its latest attempt at ‘moral blackmail’ in profound post

Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance has revealed what former President Donald Trump told him just minutes after the latest assassination attempt on him.

Speaking at a Faith and Freedom Coalition event in Georgia this Monday, Vance said he was at home with his kids on Sunday when he received a call from Trump.

“He [Trump] says, ‘JD, you’re not going to believe this, but they tried to do it again,'” Vance recalled. “I said, ‘No, you’re joshing me. But, what’s going on here, sir?'”

“I was playing golf and the Secret Service found somebody who was trying to shoot me,” the president reportedly replied.

“Oh my Lord, sir, I’m so glad you’re okay,” Vance reportedly responded.

According to Vance, the former president told him that he was fine but “pissed off” because he was unable to complete his putt.

Vance also posted an extensive tweet Monday going into detail about his thoughts on the latest assassination attempt and the left/media’s response to it. He specifically focused in on the difference between “vigorous debate and violent rhetoric.”

“Here is what we know so far: Kamala Harris has said that ‘Democracy is on the line’ in her race against President Trump,” he wrote. “The gunman agreed and used the exact same phrase. He had a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on his truck. He was obsessed with Ukraine’s ‘fight for Democracy’ and absorbed many unhinged views about the Russia-Ukraine war. His name is Ryan Routh, and he donated 19 times to Democrat causes and zero to Republican ones.”

“How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official? It’s a question that answers itself. For years, Kamala Harris’s campaign surrogates have said things like ‘Trump has to be eliminated.’ And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months?” he added.

As previously documented by BizPac Review, the media responded to the second assassination attempt by dismissing it, downplaying it, or worse, blaming Trump himself for it.

“PBS’s weekend show perfectly illustrates the double standard of Kamala Harris’s media friends,” Vance explained. “After spending 30 seconds on the second assassination attempt on President Trump, they then focused on the real danger: me and President Trump, who are, according to them, personally responsible for bomb threats against Springfield.”

“Of course, I repeatedly condemned those threats. And reports today suggest they came from a foreign country, not–as the media suggested–a deranged Trump fan,” he added.

Recently, residents in Springfield, Ohio started claiming that Haitian migrants were capturing, cooking, and eating household pets. After Trump and Vance elevated these reports to the national level, someone started making bomb threats. The media of course immediately blamed Trump and Vance, not the people actually making threats.

Continuing his post, Vance wrote about how, instead of listening to the people of Springfield, leftists and their media allies are now calling for anyone who speaks about what’s happening there to be silenced and censored.

“The purpose is not to turn down the rhetoric,” he wrote. “If anything, covering the bomb threats gives whoever makes them exactly what he wants: attention. The purpose is distraction and shame. How dare you talk about the problems of Haitian migration in Springfield?”

“You’re endangering people, simply by discussing the problems of Kamala Harris’s policies. It’s a form of moral blackmail, designed not to make anyone safe but to shut everyone up,” he claimed.

He went on to cite other examples of this “moral blackmail,” including the Hunter Biden laptop story.

“The message is always the same: don’t you dare express an opinion on the public affairs of your nation. The message is: shut up,” he wrote.

“This is the difference between debate–even aggressive debate–and censorship. … It is one thing to say that pets are not, in fact being eaten, and another thing to say that anyone who disagrees is trying to murder people. Dissent, even vigorous dissent, is a great tradition of the United States. Censorship is not,” he added.
