During a speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Senator JD Vance attempted to draw a sharp distinction between the Republican and Democratic parties, framing the upcoming election as a choice between "common sense" and "the crazies."
Vance declared, "The contrast in this election, ladies and gentlemen, is not about this or that policy. It is about the party of common sense beating the party of the crazies." He urged the audience to "send these lunatics packing and govern the country for the future."
However, Vance's remarks quickly faced backlash, with critics suggesting he examine his own party. Observers described his attack line as "next-level projection."
