Vice President JD Vance on Friday accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of encouraging violent immigration protests as he used his appearance in Los Angeles to rebut criticism from state and local officials that the Trump administration fueled the unrest by sending in federal officers.
Vance also referred to U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, the state’s first Latino senator, as “Jose Padilla,” a week after the Democrat was forcibly taken to the ground by officers and handcuffed after speaking out during a Los Angeles news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on immigration raids.
“I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question,” Vance said, in an apparent reference to the altercation at Noem’s event. “I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t a theater. And that’s all it is.”
“They want to be able to go back to their far-left groups and to say, ‘Look, me, I stood up against border enforcement. I stood up against Donald Trump,’” Vance added.
A spokesperson for Padilla, Tess Oswald, noted in a social media post that Padilla and Vance were formerly colleagues in the Senate and said that Vance should know better. “He should be more focused on demilitarizing our city than taking cheap shots,” Oswald said.
“Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, by treating the city as a sanctuary city, have basically said that this is open season on federal law enforcement,” Vance said after he toured federal immigration enforcement offices.
“What happened here was a tragedy,” Vance added. “You had people who were doing the simple job of enforcing the law and they had rioters egged on by the governor and the mayor, making it harder for them to do their job. That is disgraceful. And it is why the president has responded so forcefully.”
He gets Padilla's name wrong and then accuses him of theater after that Vance's laughable performance when him and Trump met with Zelenskyy. Vance is a muppet.Vance is a ****.
Thanks for supplying yet more evidence vance isn't fit for office - and also for helping to establish that he is indeed a clone of trump.The AP
Irony is very ironic. Padilla's mouth pieces accused VP Vance of taking "cheap shots"......
Padilla has labeled a duly elected POTUS a tyrant for enforcing "cruel" federal immigration law. He did so while on the Senate floor. He called him the tyrant in chief. He blamed the CIC, whose job is to enforce federal law, by saying all the LA turmoil falls squarely on the president.
He called the POTUS's legal right to call up the CA. NG, which was ruled on today in the president's favor, authoritarian.
It goes without saying that VP JD Vance has nailed this. Every. word.
Accurate. Succinct.Vance is a ****.
Vance blames California Dems for violent immigration protests and calls Sen. Alex Padilla 'Jose'
Bigotry on display. Not even trying to be subtle."Jose" is just a punk. Vance is right on, as usual, seeing right through the BS.
JD Vance Eats Cats.Vance is a ****.

There’s a reason why President Donald Trump has dispatched Vice President JD Vance to calm MAGA concerns over the administration’s aid to Israel and possible limited involvement in a war with Iran.
He’s just as popular as his boss, a rarity in White House politics.
Not only does Vance equal Trump with a 52% favorable rating in the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets on Friday, but his popularity among African Americans, Hispanics, and even Democrats nearly parallels Trump’s.
Yep."Jose" is just a punk. Vance is right on, as usual, seeing right through the BS.
Disrespect for elected officials also seems to be a GOP trait.the party of racism belongs to the cons/maggots
Rasmussen pollsI am not surprised to learn that VP Vance's approval rating is as high as his boss's, DJT.

LOL!Yep.
Like Trump, he has the ability to read right through the bullshit.
JD Vance believes that the Haitians of Springfield, Ohio are Eating the Cats.
I hope he gets treatment for his mental illness.
"Jose" is just a punk. Vance is right on, as usual, seeing right through the BS.
Damn, those humans."Bow down before the one you serve"...etc
I'll never understand how happy you are in slavery. It's a civilization-long problem with humans.
