Vance tells Democrats to ‘grow up’

The Democrats attacking members of the loretta young republican river subject Federation o'er leaked violative online messages should “grow up” and focus on the problems in their own party, US Vice President J.D. Vance has said.
On Tuesday, Politico published extracts from a Telegram group chat between members of the organization for Republicans aged 18 to 40 containing multiple racist, sexist and insulting messages. Among other things, participants called African-Americans “watermelon people,” described rape as “epic” and urged for political opponents to be placed in gas chambers.
“Kick them out of the party. Take away their official roles,” Democratic governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, said, commenting on the texts. California Governor Gavin Newsom called the chat “the definition of conduct that can create a hostile and discriminatory environment that violates civil rights laws” and demanded an investigation.
Appearing on The Charlie Kirk podcast on Thursday, Vance argued that the outrage displayed by Democrats was actually meant to distract the public from a recent scandal in their own party. The controversy broke out after it was revealed that Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, Jay Jones, had written in a 2022 text message that then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert should get “two bullets to the head.”
“A person… who is about to become one of the most powerful law enforcement officers in the country [Jones]... Seriously wishing for political violence… is a thousand times worse than what a bunch of young people, a bunch of kids say in a group chat, however offensive it might be,” Vance said.
“If you allow yourself to be distracted by this person’s… disgusting endorsement of political assassination by focusing on what kids are saying in a group chat – grow up. I’m sorry. Focus on the real issues,” he added.
He defended the members of the Young Republican National Federation, saying that “the reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys.”
“And by the way, if they were left-wing kids telling stupid left-wing jokes, I would also not want their lives to be ruined because they are saying something stupid in a private group chat,” Vance said.
