Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently defended his remarks directed at Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that telling her to 'go to hell' was simply a 'colloquial phrase.' Vance made these comments during a pull-aside interview with the Washington Post, where he urged the public to focus on their own responsibilities rather than engaging in what he referred to as 'fake outrage.'
Vance's comments were in response to Harris' handling of the aftermath of the tragic incident where 13 US service members lost their lives outside Kabul's airport during the tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. He criticized Harris for what he perceived as a lack of accountability and called for a more robust investigation into the matter.
