Vice President JD Vance responded forcefully to a protester waving foreign flags during his keynote address at the Republican National Committee midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday. The disruption occurred as Vance was speaking to thousands of GOP voters at the American Airlines Center.
A protester emerged from the crowd, waving both a Mexican and a Palestinian flag. Vance addressed the demonstrator directly, stating, "Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your a– over there. I'll buy you the plane ticket."
The crowd reacted with loud chants of "USA! USA! USA!" as the individual was escorted from the venue. The incident was not visible on the convention's official television feed but was described by Vance to the attendees and viewers at home.
