Vance calls midterms a referendum on ‘common sense versus pure unadulterated crazy'

Vice President JD Vance called out Democrats Friday, saying the midterms will be a referendum on "common sense versus pure unadulterated crazy."

While stumping in Iowa, Vance said Democrats are no longer "the party my grandparents grew up talking about."

Raised by a union steelworker, Vance said his father told him that "FDR’s Democrat party, that JFK’s Democrat party was the party of the workingman.

"This is not FDR’s party, as much as we might wish it was. It's not JFK’s party. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s not even Bill Clinton’s party."

Vance said today’s Democrats don’t believe the country needs to be "built upon" but "utterly transformed."

"In New York," he said, some of the midterm candidates are calling for the "total eradication of Western civilization. Somebody running for Congress in New York — and I promise I’m not joking about this — said that July Fourth is actually about the liberation of Palestine and Puerto Rico."

To loud boos, Vance said, "You could almost laugh about" the idea of Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence and thinking about the liberation of Palestine and Puerto Rico.

"But, unfortunately, it’s not funny because those people are dead serious, and this election is a referendum on common sense versus pure unadulterated crazy. Let’s send the crazy packing and get them out of Washington, D.C." Vance said to cheers.

Vance also claimed some Democratic candidates are "out-and-out lunatics" who have "lost their ever-loving minds."

"These are the ones who will tell you that our history is evil, and this country needs to be bulldozed and started over from the beginning," he continued.

But he said other Democrat candidates are "smart enough to realize that the country hasn't lost its mind, and, so, they try to be just a little bit more subtle."

Calling out Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Adam Hamilton of Kansas, Vance claimed Hamilton gave off a "kind of ‘gee whiz, I’m a nice pastor’ vibe," but he's a man that tells his congregation not about the gospel of Jesus Christ, but that they need to repent for their White privilege."

Recent polls have shown a tightening race between Hamilton and GOP incumbent Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall.

During the rally, Vance threw his support behind Iowa Republicans, including gubernatorial nominee Zach Lane, Rep. Ashley Hinson and congressional candidate Chris McGowan.
