During a speech at a recent rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, vice presidential candidate JD Vance sounded off on Kamala Harris after she questioned his “loyalty” to the United States. Upon former President Donald Trump officially announcing that he had selected Vance as his running mate, Vice President Harris released a video statement denouncing Vance and claiming he is only loyal to Trump and not the country.
Addressing the critical comments before the energetic crowd at the rally, Vance cited his impressive resume as evidence of his immense dedication to the United States. Having served in the military, fought in Iraq, and built a successful business, Vance turned the question back on Harris, asking her, “What the hell have you done?”
The vice presidential candidate began his statement on the slight from Harris, calling out her administration’s record on the southern border, asserting there is no greater sign of disloyalty to the United States than the absolute failure that has occurred there. Under the Biden-Harris administration, millions of illegal immigrants have flooded the United States, where many claim the federal government has done little to deter the unlawful entries.
Vance said, “I saw the other day, Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That’s the word she used, loyalty, and it’s an interesting word, semper fi loyalty, because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border. And I’d like to ask the Vice President, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country.”
Further disputing the sitting vice president’s claim about him, Vance drew upon his extensive resume, which includes military service and running a successful enterprise. He also praised former President Donald Trump for “taking a bullet for this country” when he was mere millimeters away from being assassinated at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.
The Ohio senator continued, “I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country, and my running mate took a bullet for this country. So my question to Kamala Harris is, what the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”
Vance concluded his passionate statement on his loyalty to the United States of America, stating, “And the answer, my friends, is nothing. So let’s send a message to the media. Let’s send a message to Kamala Harris. Let’s send a message to every hardworking Patriot from Minnesota across the country. We are ready to have PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP back, and we’re going to work our tails off to make sure it happens. God bless you all. Thank you.”

Trump was clearly convinced that Vance was loyal to the United States in his length announcement that he had officially selected the Ohio Senator as his running mate. “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond. As Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Congratulations to Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usha, who also graduated from Yale Law School, and their three beautiful children. MAGA2024!” he said.
