3. The pathological ease with which they murder innocent Americans.

2. POS can't wait to out-dictator Trump

[EarlG]

5. Attention responsible gun-owning Republicans of America

Your federal government has declared that anyone legally carrying a firearm while filming a law enforcement operation is an "assassin" whose intent is to "murder federal agents."

Exercising your First and Second Amendment rights simultaneously is now the Trump Administration's legal justification for killing you, and then publicly smearing you.

Are you paying attention?

6. Lie to get elected, lie to stay in power, lie to get rich

Lie to make us sick, lie to make us poor, lie after they massacre on the streets

Only the dead know the end of their lies

11. Well said

7. Guess the Cryptkeeper and JD are making the case for stricter gun laws that prohibit the carrying

of guns by citizens. That's their only basis for this stupid claim. The guy legally had a gun on him, but the only thing in his hand was a phone. They grabbed the gun from wherever it was on his body and then shot him. Where are all the 2nd amendment lovers? Shouldn't they be concerned if carrying a gun legally automatically makes you a threat in the eyes of the wannabe king?

8. Can't wait for his trial.

No “immunity” for traitors.

9. Vance is going for the "messy clown" look.

But he still overdid the eyeliner.

[Dear_Prudence]

10. Vance is a vicious liar.

I live in Cincinnati and Springboro is a neighboring community. During the campaign, Vance bore false witness against these neighbors, claiming they eat cats. Spouting false piety and donning Catholicism like its a party hat, he unrepentedly and flagrantly violated one of the Ten Commandments. He's a bigot, a liar and slanderer, and a hypocrite. To quote Maya Angelou, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

[dalton99a]

12. +1. Vance would be a far more destructive president than Trump. Vance is more intelligent, focused and secretive.

[OGBuzz]

16. plus Vance works for Peter Thiel.

Thiel has declared that 'democracy cannot be trusted' and his company Palantir is developing technology that will turn America into a surveillance state.

[dalton99a]

20. 100%. Vance owes his career to Thiel and he is Thiel's puppet.

[Wicked Blue]

13. Go f*ck a couch, Vance, you evil piece of garbage

[Katcat]

14. Stephen miller

Should be ostracized for the rest of his unnatural life for the evil he hides inside himself.

[LessAspin]

15. Thiel/Vance must be counting on inheriting MAGA

Because they're doing nothing to broaden their base.

Quite the opposite.. they seem to be actively signaling support to the most extreme elements of the base.

Must be hoping to stay in power by force but Vance doesn't have the cult following Trump has. JD is going down.

[Initech]

18. Both Thiel and Vance will be going to prison when this is over.

Hopefully Yarvin and the Fox propagandists will join them.

[Initech]

17. All these hateful monsters do is divide us.

We are better than they are. This whole wretched administration needs to be flushed.

[kacekwl]

19. No one in the press is

calling them liars. To their face or otherwise.

White House aide Stephen Miller was reportedly behind false claims that slain activist Alex Pretti was planning to "massacre" law enforcement when federal agents killed him in Minnesota on Saturday.

According to Axios, Miller ordered Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to make the claim about Pretti after he died.

"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem insisted in remarks that were reported by Axios.

One source told the publication that officers involved in the shooting "all shut up and got lawyers real quick, so there wasn't a lot of information."

Miller then directed DHS to assemble a statement, including information about Pretti's firearm.

"Stephen heard 'gun' and knew what the narrative would be: Pretti came to 'massacre' cops," one source pointed out.

Miller later asserted in a post on X that Pretti was an "assassin." The language was repeated by Noem and Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino.

The White House held a meeting with Noem on Monday, but Miller was not present.

"Noem has complained to others that she feels she's being hung out to dry over the episode and has made sure to emphasize she took direction from Miller and the president," Axios reported.
