【Vance defends young Republican members: Kids do silly things, especially little boys】
Washington time October 15, 2025, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in a statement:
People should focus on the messages written by Jay Jones, the Democratic Attorney General candidate in Virginia, in 2022, which suggested that a well-known Republican should be shot twice. Jones' comments are 1000 times worse than what a group of young people or children say in a group chat, no matter how offensive it may be. Anyone distracted by political stories should grow up. Focus on real issues. Don't focus on what children say.
Vance added:
The fact is, kids do silly things, especially little boys. They tell sharp and unpleasant jokes. Like, that's what kids do. I really don't want us to grow up in a country where a child telling a stupid joke, a very disrespectful and foolish joke, would ruin their life.
