Kinzinger: JD Vance response to shooting should 'disqualify' him from VP

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said Sunday Sen. JD Vance’s, R-Ohio, response to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump should “disqualify” him from serving as vice president.

Vance, a contender for Trump’s choice of running mate, said in a social media post Saturday that the shooting was “not some isolated incident” and suggested President Joe Biden’s campaign was, at least in part, at fault.

“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” Vance said on the social platform X. “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination.”
