Democrats are attacking Vice President JD Vance’s military service, getting basic facts wrong in the process. Senator Tina Smith falsely claimed Vance never served, only to be corrected live on CNN. This comes as Democrats ramp up personal attacks against the Trump-Vance administration following a tense Oval Office meeting with Ukraine’s president.
Vance honorably served as a Marine combat correspondent in Iraq, a fact well-documented in his bestselling book. Yet Democrats like Smith spread falsehoods about his service record. When caught, Smith offered a weak apology instead of showing real respect for veterans.
The political attacks escalated after President Trump and Vice President Vance stood firm with Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy. Democrats called Trump “Putin’s puppet” and mocked Vance’s Ohio roots. Seth Moulton, a Marine veteran turned congressman, even called America’s commander-in-chief a “coward” on national television.
Conservatives see these attacks as desperate moves by a party with no real solutions. Fox News contributor Joey Jones blasted Democrats for putting fundraising over patriotism. “They’d rather insult our leaders than fix problems,” he said. “Calling veterans ‘cowards’ helps nobody except radical donors.”
Vance fired back at critics by highlighting his combat service compared to Tim Walz’s National Guard record. “I answered my country’s call to Iraq,” Vance declared. “Walz quit the Army when duty called.” This contrast exposes Democrats’ hypocrisy on military issues.
The left’s rage hit new lows when Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg attacked Vance over old jokes about “childless liberals.” Meanwhile, Trump continues delivering results – securing borders and standing up to foreign bullies while Democrats whine.
America needs leaders who respect our troops, not coastal elites mocking middle-class values. Vance’s story of rising from Appalachian poverty to Marine service embodies the American Dream. Democrats would rather tear down heroes than celebrate hardworking patriots.
These attacks reveal a party obsessed with division. Conservatives believe in peace through strength, not apologizing to dictators. With Trump and Vance, America finally has fighters who put citizens first – not globalist agendas or woke talking points.
