J.D. Vance: ‘My Fellow Americans ... Reject the View of Your Nation That Sees Only Its Sins, but Not Its Grace and Its Greatness’

RUSH EXCERPT:

VANCE: “These people misunderstand the essence of America, from Thomas Jefferson to henry kaiser. They misunderstand that we all have moments of great power, despite those very real imperfections that there are victims and heroes who live inside of each of us for the most ambitious leaders and builders to steal welders. Like my grandfather, people, who had their own role to play in turning this dangerous wilderness into the proudest civilization in history, so what I’m asking to do? My fellow Americans on our two hundred fiftieth birthday, is to reject the two-dimensional view of your fellow citizens and reject the two dimensional view of your country. Rejected America is a place for zero sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people, carving a great civilization out of the wilderness.”
