JD Vance Erupts Over DC’s Obsession With Ukraine: ‘Shiny Object That Distracts From Bipartisan Failure’

By

JD Vance (R-OH) has come forward to question Washington’s true focus on foreign issues, mainly Ukraine, calling the war a diversion tactic from a generation of failures on home soil.

During the Turning Point Action Conference, Vance seized the opportunity to call out the current status quo in DC. “You know what the life expectancy is for a middle-class person in America compared to a middle-class person in Western Europe right now? 12 years lower,” Vance pointed out.

His critique extended beyond healthcare, embracing national security and the economy, particularly focusing on the US-Mexico border issue and the country’s dependency on China for manufacturing. “Why aren’t we focused on the open southern border that’s allowing the cartels to kill our people? Why aren’t we focused on the fact that we send our manufacturing to China?” he asks.

“Don’t look at the fact that they have failed in their leadership of this country for a generation. Well, we’re not going to be distracted. We’re looking at exactly what they’ve done, exactly what they failed to do.”

WATCH:

The media plays a crucial role in steering public attention away from these domestic issues, Vance suggested. “We’re not focused on it because the media has got this shiny object over here. Look at Ukraine everybody!” Vance said.
