Republican vice presidential nominee Ohio Sen. JD Vance made two separate campaign stops on Tuesday in Wisconsin and Michigan, during which he eviscerated Democrats and their corporate media allies.Vance took questions from adversarial reporters, including a New York Times correspondent who brought up a recent comment the senator made about Haitian immigrants apparently eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. The media has repeatedly argued that Vance made up the allegations, while the senator has maintained that his constituents were the ones who initially reported the claims.'That is bullying on an industrial scale.'During the Wisconsin rally, Vance called on the Times reporter to read out his question.“This is the New York Times, so don’t hold it against them,” Vance stated.The reporter responded, “The paper of record, New York Times.” He continued by setting up his question, noting that it would be about Springfield.“You’ve said, regardless of what the exact precise facts are here, it’s worth it to make the larger point of a town overrun by immigration,” the reporter said.Vance corrected the Times reporter, “I didn’t say regardless of the precise facts. I said, you have to listen to what people are saying, right? The media has tried to say now for days that I’ve made up this story. I haven’t made up anything. I’ve just listened to people who are telling me these things.”“That’s the point,” the reporter replied. “Your willingness to shine a light on issues you see as important. And I’m wondering if you know where your line is on that. What’s something you’re willing not to say in order to make a point that is important to you?”Vance responded to the inquiry with a smile while his supporters at the rally booed the reporter. “It’s a question for him, not the crowd,” the Times reporter snapped at attendees.Vance answered, “What I wouldn’t say is that the New York Times is a respectable paper. That’s one thing I wouldn’t be willing to say.”“All kidding aside,” the senator continued, “if one person had called me and said, ‘I’m seeing this in Springfield,’ we maybe let that pass. When four, five, six, seven people are telling me they see something in Springfield, and on top of it, that there are certain people who refuse to listen to them, who refuse to take their concerns seriously, that’s when it’s my job as a United States senator to listen to my constituents.”During the same rally, a CBS News reporter asked Vance if he had “a responsibility to fact-check” the claims made by his constituents.“I think the media has a responsibility to fact-check the residents of Springfield, not lie about it,” Vance rebutted. The crowd responded with overwhelming applause to the senator’s remarks.Vance torched members of the media for only showing up to fact-check the residents about the pet-eating claims after ignoring locals’ longtime concerns about the impact the immigration crisis has had on the housing shortage and the rising cost of car insurance in the area.“They talk about the pet story, and that’s all the American media wants to talk about,” Vance explained. “And, of course, the American media goes into Springfield, dives in, harasses everybody who dares to complain about the condition of the town. That is not journalism, and that is not seeking the truth. That is bullying on an industrial scale. And I think the media ought to be ashamed of itself.”Vance also held a rally in Sparta, Michigan, on Tuesday. During his speech, he torched the left and its media allies for spreading inflammatory rhetoric about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, arguing that their hateful remarks fueled the recent assassination attempts against the former president. “Don’t lecture Donald Trump about softening his rhetoric after two people tried to kill him. It’s ridiculous. Tell Kamala Harris. Tell Joe Biden. Tell of her surrogates who are saying things like, ‘Donald Trump needs to be eliminated.’ They need to cut that crap out,” Vance remarked.During a recent stop in Atlanta, Georgia, Vance addressed the most recent assassination attempt against Trump. He called on Democrats to stop calling the former president a fascist.“If you tell the American people that this person is the end of democracy, if you tell the American people that this person needs to be eliminated, most of them — thank God — are gonna ignore you, but some crazy person is going to take matters into their own hands and actually listen to the crazy rhetoric that you’re putting out there,” Vance said. “You know the big difference between conservatives and liberals? No one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months. And two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months. I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down their rhetoric,” he stated.Like Blaze News?

A damning new poll revealed Wednesday that nearly one in three Democrats would have preferred to see Kamala Harris' political opponent gunned down in cold blood on Sunday. Scott Rasmussen's RMG Research conducted an online survey of 1,000 registered voters for the Napolitan News Service earlier this week to gauge the public's response to the latest known attempt on the life of President Donald Trump. The super-majority of respondents indicated they were paying somewhat or very close attention to the latest news about the second assassination attempt against Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. When asked whether U.S. government agencies were involved in the murder plot, 37% of respondents said it was very or somewhat likely. Thirty-four percent of respondents figured the Democratic Party or the Harris campaign were involved; 33% suggested foreign governments were involved; and 33% suggested that Trump himself or his campaign orchestrated the elaborate attempt to have a Democratic donor allegedly wait in ambush for 12 hours with a high-powered rifle. A majority of respondents (54%) suggested Trump had "used overheated language that might encourage some people to act violently"; 35% blamed CNN and MSNBC; and 33% suggested Harris was an inciter. However, when asked which one played a role in specifically encouraging the assassination attempts on Trump, 45% of respondents blamed anti-Trump rhetoric; 41% blamed the media; 30% blamed the victim's campaign; 25% blamed Harris' campaign; and 18% attributed the attempts to other reasons. The question with the most staggering results was: "While it is always difficult to wish ill of another human being, would America be better off if Donald Trump had been killed last weekend?" Sixty-nine percent of respondents said no, and 14% said they were not sure. Seventeen percent of respondents said it would have been better for Trump to have been slaughtered on the green. 'These numbers suggest that the phase of getting worse is clearly upon us.' The Napolitan News Service highlighted that a staggering 28% of Democrats had answered "yes." Only 47% of Democratic respondents indicated America would not benefit from the assassination of the Republican candidate for president; 25% said they weren't sure. Scott Rasmussen said, "It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered." Rasmussen appears to have been referencing the Democrat talking point recycled ad nauseam in recent years regarding the supposed threat Trump poses to democracy. Harris, President Joe Biden, the Democratic National Committee, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are among the many Democrats who have called Trump a "threat to our democracy" while their allies worked to silence the Republican, throw him in prison, and strike his name from the ballot. When broken down by race, it appears Hispanic respondents disproportionately would like to have seen Trump murdered: 30% of Hispanics answered yes whereas only 14% of whites and 19% of blacks voiced support for the political assassination. "I continue to believe that America's best days are still to come," Rasmussen said. "However, for years I've been saying that things will get worse before they get better. These numbers suggest that the phase of getting worse is clearly upon us." While things may be getting worse, Democrats indicated years ago they were already primed for nightmarish extremes. Whereas Democrats are now disproportionately expressing support for the murder of Trump, during the pandemic, they were disproportionately signaling support for the imprisonment of the unvaccinated and the confiscation of their children. In a Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of 1,016 likely voters conducted in January 2022, pollsters asked, "Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus by having federal or state governments require that citizens temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine?" Whereas 71% of all voters — and 84% of Republicans — signaled opposition to throwing the unvaccinated in quarantine camps, 45% of Democrats said they strongly or somewhat favored the proposal. According to the same poll, 48% of Democrats supported federal or sate governments fining or imprisoning Americans who questioned the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines on social media, TV, radio, or in digital publications. Whereas 80% of respondents said they somewhat or strongly opposed the proposal of taking children away from parents who refuse to take the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, 29% of Democrats signaled support for breaking up such families.
