J.D. Vance: ‘If You Discard’ a Lifelong Friendship Because Somebody Votes for the Other Team, ‘You’ve Made a Terrible Mistake’

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “And if you’re discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody votes for the other team, then you’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake and you should do something different.

(Applause)

Like, don't — don't cast aside — like, most of my family, obviously, is going to vote for Donald Trump and JD. Vance, and if they’re not, actually, I need to talk to them, but I’ve got friends who like me personally, acquaintances, who aren’t necessarily going to vote for me. That doesn’t make them bad people. And we can't — this is my most important advice: Whether you vote for me, whether you vote for Donald Trump, whether you vote for Kamala Harris, don’t cast aside family members and lifelong friendships. Politics is not worth it. And I think if we follow that principle, we'll heal the divide in this country."
