Kill and confront the extremist movement of which JD Vance unfortunately is a part of.

Who says that the President of the United States is intentionally trying to kill people with fentanyl?

Who says that the election was stolen?

JD Vance does.

Who runs around with Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, who wants a banned book?

He runs around with Lindsey Graham, who wants a national abortion ban.
