Biden is finally out of office. But politics may not be done with him.
And now JD Vance leveled an immense accusation against Joe Biden that could change everything.
Vice President JD Vance dropped a bombshell Wednesday, revealing that the Biden administration had the names and addresses of violent criminals in the country illegally but failed to act.
Calling it “one of the craziest things of the last week,” Vance, 40, expressed outrage that the previous administration knowingly allowed dangerous criminals to remain at large — many of whom have now been swept up in President Trump’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration.
“What is shocking to me is that many of these violent criminals – we knew their addresses, we knew their names. We just needed to send somebody to go to their house and get them the h*ll out of the country,” Vance told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday night.
Fuming over the lack of enforcement under Biden, Vance pointed out that federal authorities “haven’t done anything until about eight days ago, when Donald Trump became the president of the United States.”
He stressed that known gang leaders and violent offenders — many of whom illegally entered the U.S. during Biden’s presidency — were allowed to roam free until Trump took action.
“It really should shock the conscience of the American people,” Vance declared.
He also exposed the false narrative pushed by critics of Trump’s mass deportation plans, who often claimed that tracking down criminal migrants would be nearly impossible.
“It turns out we actually do know where a lot of them are. We just haven’t had immigration enforcement. And that’s what’s changed,” he said.
Vance highlighted Trump’s swift executive actions on immigration, boasting that the new administration has achieved “more in eight days than the entire Biden administration accomplished in four years.”
“And of course, the things that we’re accomplishing are actually good things,” he added.
The vice president also cited recent firefights between Border Patrol agents and Mexican drug cartels as proof that the administration is taking real action to secure the border.
“Why wasn’t that happening a couple of years ago? Because they weren’t empowered to do their job,” Vance noted. “The border has become so lawless that we’re actually engaging in military-style engagements just to regain control of our southern border.”
On a lighter note, Vance shared a classic Trump moment during a meeting with congressional leaders, where the president pranked him with his famous Oval Office Diet Coke button.
“He screwed with me about that,” Vance laughed. “So we were just mid-conversation – I think we were with [Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson] – and he has this sort of beautiful, ornate wooden box on his desk with a red button, and he presses it and he just kind of looks over at me.”
Not knowing what the button was for, Vance admitted he got nervous.
“Sir, is that … did something bad just happen?” he asked.
“And he’s like, ‘No, I just ordered a Diet Coke.’”
Sure enough, a Diet Coke was promptly delivered to Trump, leaving Vance with yet another memorable story from his time in the West Wing.
