Republican vice presidential contender Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) reportedly blasted Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally on Wednesday for her policy of avoiding the media and refusing to engage with the American people.
Vance took a swipe at the Democratic presidential nominee while campaigning on behalf of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
He stated that anyone seeking to represent Americans owed it to voters to answer their questions and earn their votes.
“You have got to stand before the American people and answer tough questions if you want to do this job. And it is scandalous that Kamala Harris is running from the media, but more importantly, she’s running from the American people. That’s a disgrace. I’ve never seen a presidential campaign in the history of my life where a person is asking to be the President of the United States, but she’s afraid of you guys [the media].” Vance said.
“If you can’t answer questions from the media, do you think you’re gonna be able to take on Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping? If you’re afraid of answering before the American people, how can we possibly trust you to sit in a room with world leaders and represent the American people?” he added.
“Go to her website, ask yourself, what is it that Kamala Harris wants to do for this country? And the answer is, she has no idea. None of us have any idea. What Kamala Harris is going to do for the American people is exactly what she’s done for the last three and a half years, which is fail. So we cannot give her a promotion. We’ve got to say, ‘You are fired.’” Vance concluded.
