‘The big lie the Democrats told’: JD Vance’s bizarre rant about NGOs and ‘underqualified radicals’ finds a friend in Elon Musk

Elon Musk recently voiced his support for Vice President JD Vance’s stance on violent crime, which is a pretty big statement when you consider the vice president’s claims. Vance posted on X, claiming that the idea of violent crime being “systemic” is “the big lie the Democrats told”. He believes that this lie is a way to fund nonprofits that “don’t do anything besides give jobs to underqualified radicals.”
