Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohioargued Sunday that Vice President Harris cannot be trusted to negotiate on the world stage if she is already “running away from the friendly American media.”

At a rally in Sanford, North Carolina, Vance recalled to a crowd in the key battleground state his conversation with his running mate, former President Trump, after the second murder attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida. A gunman was accused of lying in wait near Trump’s golf course with a rifle before a Secret Service agent opened fire, preventing potential bloodshed.

It happened weeks after Trump survived being shot by a gunman at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“After a second assassination attempt, the president called me and told me what had just happened. And, you know, I said, ‘My God, sir, are you okay? Clearly, you’re physically okay.’ But, you know, it’s a traumatic thing to happen,'” Vance told the crowd. “A second assassination attempt in as many months. And he says, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’ But I’m a little pissed because I was going to make a birdie on the sixth hole and the Secret Service wouldn’t let me finish.'”

“And, you know, at that moment it occurred to me that that’s the kind of person you want in the Oval Office when the world goes to hell, because you never know how someone is going to react in a moment of crisis until you actually know.” see their response in that moment of crisis,” Vance said.

Vance compared that interaction with Trump to Harris “running away from the friendly American media.”

“Can we trust that person to negotiate for us?” with Vladimir Putin, The leader of Russia? Xi Jinping, the leader of China? No, of course we can’t, because she can’t even talk to the friendly American media,” Vance said. “She certainly can’t be trusted to negotiate on our behalf on the world stage.”

“But do you know who I trust?” he added. “The guy who took a second assassination attempt with good humor and didn’t lose his cool and went back to work the next day.”

When Harris does interviews, Vance said that democratic candidate helps Trump’s campaign.

“It’s fun to watch Kamala Harris give these interviews,” Vance said. “And, you know, on the one hand, obviously, I don’t agree with Kamala Harris on all of these issues. I criticize her every day on the campaign trail. I criticize what she’s done to the United States of America. And then, On the other hand, she goes and does an interview, and I think she gets us about 100,000 votes. So, you know, Kamala Harris is not all bad.”

Vance made reference Harris Interview on “The View” when asked what she would have done differently during the last four years of President Biden’s administration, she responded “she can’t think of anything.” The Republican vice presidential nominee said Harris’ interview was a “gift.”

“As much as she has these slogans about how she’s somehow going to do something in the next four years that she hasn’t done while she’s been acting vice president again, she gives us the gift of going out and doing interviews,” Vance said. “And even though they’re always softball interviews, and even though our friends in the press never ask Kamala Harris hard questions, sometimes they don’t. They ask her easy questions and she still screws them up. And the definition, you know “One of Kamala Harris’ mistakes is when she accidentally tells the truth because sometimes she does that.”

“How is the person who admits that he wouldn’t have done anything differently in the last four years? How is he going to solve the problems created by the last four years of politics?” Vance said. “So for the people of North Carolina, the choice is very clear. It’s a choice between more of the same, more high food prices, more unaffordable housing, more open borders, more fentanyl in our communities. Or the choice is, should we take this country in a different direction? Will we return to peace and prosperity? “Are we going to hand it back to Donald J. Trump’s leadership?”
