Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), has said a lot of wild things. But on Sunday, he made headlines for something he didn’t say.

In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Vance left the door open to renewed family separations under Trump’s promised “mass deportation” plan. Despite moderator Kristen Welker directly asking Vance three times if families would be separated in a second Trump administration, Vance failed to clearly answer. Instead, he parroted the right’s critique of Vice President Kamala Harris, falsely claiming she had been designated as “border czar.”

“Millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that have come in just since Kamala Harris became the border czar,” Vance told Welker.

“She was put in charge of the root causes of migration,” Welker corrected Vance.

“Well the root causes of migration, Kristen, is that Kamala Harris refused to do her job as border czar,” Vance replied.

    Boy, they just love making shit up and then figuring out if they can turn their bullshit into some sort of extreme cruelty.

    I can only assume you have to be a massive sadist to be a Republican, because a fucking normal person would never go along with these fucks when they’re babbling nonsense and then talk about stealing children.
