Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) sharply criticized Vice President Harris over immigration and public safety in a Wisconsin rally Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking to a crowd in Eau Claire, Wis., Vance said Harris has taken away an American “birthright,” which is public safety. “It’s time to give it back” to people, he said.
Vance told a story about Anne Fundner, a mother who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July after losing her 15-year-old son to fentanyl, which she blamed on the Biden administration’s border policies.
“Don’t all of us want to raise our children in communities where they can make childhood mistakes and not have it claim their life?” Vance said.
He added that he’s a father to three young children, who will likely grow up to “do something that really pisses me off.”
“But, I want them to grow up in a country where the streets are safe enough, where they can make a mistake and learn from it, rather than have it take their life,” Vance said. “And that is what we need. We got to get back to public safety in this country now.”
