Vice President JD Vance lashed out at two hecklers who interrupted his speech in Kansas, declaring that “all the Democrats are selling is a fat load of bullsh*t” before dismissing the second protester as “another bullsh*t artist.”
Vance arrived in Topeka, Kansas, for a Monday evening rally after an earlier appearance in Montana, where, at one point, he twice mispronounced the state’s capital, Helena, leading the audience to shout out a correction.
But in Kansas, during a scene that has become increasingly familiar at rallies held by both Vance and President Donald Trump in support of Republican candidates across the country — often in deep-red states — two hecklers in the crowd interrupted the vice president.
“I suspect that, just like I felt when I was growing up, a lot of people around here — in places like Kansas — harbored many of the same doubts about our country’s failed leadership,” Vance theorized.
“You’re a war criminal!” the first protester then screamed, before shouting again as the vice president attempted to continue his remarks, drawing jeers and chants of “USA! USA! USA!” from the rest of the crowd.
“The thing I’ve realized, having done these rallies for the last couple of weeks, is that the only chance the Democrats have is to interrupt and shut down the debate because when we have a free and open debate, the American people will realize that all the Democrats are selling is a fat load of bullsh*t,” Vance insisted.
