Vance has made a name for himself as a no-nonsense kind of guy. And he doesn’t care who knows it.
Now JD Vance demolished a journalist for publishing a ridiculously false report.
Highlighting Border Security Success
Vice President JD Vance, speaking at a rally in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, sharply critiqued a New York Times op-ed by former Biden border adviser Blas Nuñez-Neto, titled “I Was One of Biden’s Border Advisers. Here’s How to Fix Our Immigration System.”
With a grin, Vance read the headline aloud, sparking laughter from the crowd, and quipped:
“What would he know about fixing our immigration system? It was the Biden administration that broke our immigration system.”
He shared humorous mock headlines from colleagues, including the Department of Homeland Security’s jab, “I was Humpty Dumpty. Here’s how to sit on a wall,” and a personal favorite, “I am a Cincinnati Bengals player, here’s how you win Super Bowls,” adding, “That cut a little deep.”
Promoting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Vance used the rally to celebrate the achievements of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, which allocated tens of billions for border security and included worker-friendly provisions.
He highlighted a key benefit, stating, “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, if you work overtime, the federal government is not going to take a dime of that overtime. You earned that money, you ought to keep it in your pocket.”
The vice president’s focus on the bill emphasized its role as a cornerstone of Trump’s legislative agenda, designed to strengthen national security and support American workers.
Defending Tariffs and American Manufacturing
Addressing Democratic criticism of Trump’s tariff policies, Vance passionately defended the strategy as a means to bolster U.S. manufacturing.
He stated, “Their big line of attack is that Donald Trump dares to put tariffs on foreign countries who try to bring their crap into the United States of America.”
He elaborated, “If you’re going to build something in the United States of America, we’re going to reward you and we’re going to fight for you, but if you want to build something overseas, you’re going to pay a big fat tariff before you bring it back into the United States and that’s exactly how it should be.”
Vance’s remarks aligned with the administration’s efforts to prioritize domestic production, reinforcing the economic nationalism that has resonated with supporters.
