From Fox 2 Detroit: JD Vance, former president Donald Trump’s running mate, is in Michigan for a campaign visit where he spoke in front of a Macomb County police department.
Vance spoke outside the Sterling Heights Police Department during a private event on Wednesday morning.
Opening his address with points on supporting law enforcement, Vance said it was important for the Trump campaign to support law enforcement – something he said the Harris campaign is against.
“Kamala Harris…wants to make it harder for them to do their job, wants to defend them and wants to make it more difficult to do their job and keep us safe,” Vance said. “When law enforcement wasn’t able to do their job, it was the poor kids in my community, the kids who grew up like I did who suffer the most.”
Vance warned that the Harris-Walz team is anti-police, and slammed Walz over his failure to respond to the violent Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020.
Tying them both together, Vance said, “We saw that in 2020 with the summer riots with our new Vice Presidential nominee on the Democratic side. It makes a real interesting dynamic duo with Kamala Harris because, as he was promoting rioters and looters burning down Minneapolis, Kamala Harris was helping to bail the rioters and looters out of jail.”
Vance allowed multiple law enforcement officers to speak, then came back to the podium and took a number of questions from reporters, one after another.
Vance tore into Walz for abandoning his National Guard unit just before they deployed to Iraq.
“You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the US Marine Corps asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, he dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him. I think that’s shameful,” he declared.
