Vance: If Biden Deployed the National Guard to a Red State with a Murder Rate Twice of Third World Countries, ‘That’d Be a Great Use’

UNKNOWN: “But there is something you guys are doing that is kind of disturbing me a little bit.”
Vance: “Okay, go ahead.”
UNKNOWN: “Thank you. You guys — you guys have sent the military into Washington, D.C.,, and a few other cities that I can’t think of off the top of my head, which, first off, they have had wonderful results, like, no one, no once can deny the results of that. That is wonderful. Some might even say the greatest.
(Laughter)
I’m a comedian.”
Vance: “I like this guy. Who is this guy?”
UNKNOWN: “Thank you, J.D.. I like you too.”
Vance: “Now he’s going to ask the question about all the sh*t that we did wrong, but that’s okay. Go ahead. Ask your question.”
UNKNOWN: “Yeah, I’m just wondering, it’s not necessarily something you did wrong, but what could someone else do wrong? Let’s say we get a complete tyrant in office and let’s say we are having — let’s say Turning Point USA is having a huge protest against, you know, something really bad that we don’t like, and let’s say a president is saying it is getting violent. How can we — what — I’m trying to think, my mind is kind of blanking. How — what is the — what is the difference between what you’re doing, and how could we prevent somebody from abusing that power?”
Vance: “Yeah. So, look, I understand where the question is coming from, and I think it is a fair question. And it is gonna sound like I’m being sarcastic, and it really is not meant in any offense. But when you talk about what could another administration do, to take a wild, hypothetical example totally off the top of my head, what if Joe Biden sent the Federal Bureau of Investigation to start arresting his political opponents?
(Applause)
Okay? So here is — here is something that I want conservatives, I want every conservative to remember, it’s an important part of my entire political philosophy, is we cannot be afraid to do something because the left might do it in the future. The left is already going to do it regardless of whether we do it. That is the takeaway of the last 40 years.
(Applause)
And in particular, if you look at what we’re doing, if Joe Biden wanted to deploy the National Guard to a red state in a place where the murder rate was twice what it is in third world countries, to actually go after murderers, that would be a great use of the National Guard. Unfortunately, I don’t think Joe Biden would use it like that. What I’m worried about, frankly, is what the far-left already did with American law enforcement, and that is the thing that we have to prevent against, and the answer to that question is you make sure the people who did it face penalties for using the federal power against American citizens.
(Applause)
By the way, that is exactly what we are trying to do. Thank you.”
UNKNOWN: “Thank you, J.D.. Honor to meet you, man.”
Vance: “Good to meet you too, man.”
