JD Vance Mocked After Wild Claim Trump Will “Never Do” This One Thing

During a political rally in Aston, Pennsylvania, Sunday, JD Vance told quite a whopper about Donald Trump: that the Republican presidential nominee doesn’t believe in censorship and would not suppress Americans’ free speech. “You know something Donald Trump will never do? Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them,” Vance said to cheers from the pro-MAGA crowd.

Trump has even bragged that his attacks have undermined the credibility of where much of his criticism comes from: the news media. Naturally, Vance’s words elicited incredulous reactions on social media. It’s not just the media. Trump has also named his political opponents part of the “enemy within” and has threatened to unleash the military against them. Previously, Vance seemed to be earning his keep as Trump’s running mate by attempting to sanitize and explain away the former president’s rhetoric, calling Trump’s threats “unfiltered” and “from the heart.” It seems that the Ohio senator has graduated to out-and-out lying about what Trump actually stands for.

JD Vance Mocked After Wild Claim Trump Will “Never Do” This One Thing

During a political rally in Aston, Pennsylvania, Sunday, JD Vance told quite a whopper about Donald Trump: that the Republican presidential nominee doesn’t believe in censorship and would not suppress Americans’ free speech.

“You know something Donald Trump will never do? Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them,” Vance said to cheers from the pro-MAGA crowd.

Trump has even bragged that his attacks have undermined the credibility of where much of his criticism comes from: the news media. Naturally, Vance’s words elicited incredulous reactions on social media.
Twitter screenshot Brian Beutler @brianbeutler: Genuinely exhausted with this sleazy, trollish lying. Really hope we’re almost past it.

Twitter screenshot Tom Dreisbach @TomDreisbach: Trump has said that people who criticize the Supreme Court “should be put in jail, the way they talk about our judges and our justices.” He has called for the jailing of people who burn the American flag. He said news networks that criticize him should lose their licenses.
Twitter screenshot Justin Baragona @justinbaragona: Trump is literally demanding that CBS and ABC be taken off the air.Twitter screensoht James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki Trump said NBC and MSNBC should be investigated for treason because of their reporting on him. He called for CBS to lose its broadcast license. And he thinks people who burn the flag should go to jail. He absolutely thinks people who disagree with him should be silenced.

It’s not just the media. Trump has also named his political opponents part of the “enemy within” and has threatened to unleash the military against them.
