While filming a Newsmax segment about the dangers of fentanyl crossing the southern United States border last week, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance shared a story about his own mother’s drug overdose and said “there are millions of Americans who could have a second chance with their loved ones if we make smarter decisions.”
“I know what it feels like when we make dumb decisions and people suffer,” Vance said, seconds before a member of the Newsmax crew handed both him and host Bianca de la Garza bottles of Diet Mountain Dew. “Yes you do, firsthand,” de la Garza replied.
