JD Vance Speaks To Virtually Empty Parking Lot In Michigan

JD Vance Speaks To Virtually Empty Parking Lot In Michigan

https://www.politicususa.com/2024/08/14/jd-vance-speaks-to-virtually-empty-parking-lot-in-michigan.html/amp

"SNIP...........

JD Vance was supposed to appeal to Midwestern voters for Trump, but few people showed up for a Vance campaign event in Michigan.

This was the crowd moments before Vance began speaking:

Vance told the crowd, “I love Byron Center. I have been here just a couple of hours, but Byron Center has been cast aside. A lot of places in this country have been cast aside by the ruling class. Politicians come to places like Michigan and say nice things but crush our industries, offshore our jobs, and undercut American wages with illegal labor. You, my friends, have been betrayed. And the people who have been doing the betraying have gotten rich off of this country’s decline. It is time to call them out and kick them out of office.”

.........

It is people like JD Vance who betrayed the people he was speaking to.
Vance helped to fund a farming startup that used illegal labor in Kentucky, so when JD Vance talks about illegal labor taking jobs, he has first-hand experience stealing those jobs from American workers.

Vance’s whole purpose for being on the ticket was to appeal to voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. However, Vance is wildly unpopular and has drawn pathetic crowds in these states.

...........SNIP"

Applegrove:

total projection on Vance's part. It is movement conservatives who stole union wages from people and made them financially anxious so they would vote with intuition instead of rationally in their best interests.

Wait a minute...

Mango just rolled thru Asheville, NC. I was advised to allow for traffic by my dentist (no abnormal traffic). But wait! This is Zebulon B. Vance territory! Where was "Vance"? Seriously?! Stuck in a Michigan parking lot? Really?
