“They’d Rather Shut it Down to Fight for Their Global Censorship Bullsh*t” – JD Vance Slams Democrats for Voting Against CR

JD Vance tore into Democrats after they almost unanimously voted against the government funding bill dubbed the American Relief Act of 2024, which President Trump endorsed Thursday.

The bill came to the floor after a disastrous 1,547-page continuing resolution was rejected by the MAGA base, and House Speaker Mike Johnson was called out for negotiating an America Last funding bill.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump endorsed the new government funding bill, saying it’s “VITAL to the America First Agenda,” and called on all members of Congress to vote in favor.

However, 38 Republicans voted in opposition Thursday night.

Many of the Republicans who came out in opposition to the bill had reasonable explanations for their votes, expressing concern over continued spending at Biden levels and its removal of the debt ceiling for two years. “As of today, we’re spending a $2.23 trillion rate. That is not sustainable, and we will end up collapsing the entire country as a result of this spending,” Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview after he voted no on the CR. “We need to get President Trump’s agenda to succeed, and we need to do that responsibly.”

President Trump, however, sought to rally Republican lawmakers, emphasizing the long-term benefits of the plan. In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, he promised significant spending cuts through reconciliation next year, stating, “The United States will cut Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in spending next year through Reconciliation!”

JD Vance Says ‘Bags Of Marijuana’ And Candy Laced With THC And Fentanyl Are Coming Across The Border, Blaming Biden-Harris Immigration Policy

Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of failing to stop marijuana and fentanyl disguised as Nerds candy and other popular brands that appeal to children from coming across the border.

At a Faith & Freedom Coalition event in Atlanta last month, the senator talked about being invited to the evidence room of a sheriffs department where he says he saw “every drug you can possibly imagine,” including “bags and bags of marijuana,” pressed fentanyl pills and meth.

“I say, ‘Guys, what is going on here? You’ve got all these drugs here that looks to me just like a box of candy—a box of Nerds candy,” Vance said. “And they say, ‘Well, sir, that’s actually THC and fentanyl.’ But I say, ‘Wait a second, the cartels have disguised deadly fentanyl to look like child’s candy so that they can make it easier to get into our country?’”

“Yet we know that one of those packets of fentanyl is going to end up in one of our neighborhood streets,” he said. “One of those packets of fentanyl is going to end up in a child’s playground. One of those packets of what looks like Nerds candy, but is actually a deadly substance, is going to end up in our schools, and a kid’s going to open up a packet of candy, take a piece of candy out and lose their life because of it.”

“Now that is a sick and deranged human being that would do anything like that. But it’s a sick and deranged human being who would give that person power over the United States of America, and that’s exactly what Kamala Harris has done,” he said. “She has given these drug cartels free reign over our country, and now they’re smuggling in deadly drugs that look like child candy.”
