JD Vance calls Democrats the ‘party of hate’ at Republican convention

During a speech at the Republican convention in Dallas, Texas, Vice President JD Vance characterized the Democratic Party as the ‘party of hate.’ He argued that the Democrats represent those who despise America and its founders.

Vance claimed that moderate Democrats are being overtaken by extremists within their own party. He specifically cited instances in Denver, Colorado, and Michigan, alleging that some Democrats have made justifications for the September 11 attacks or campaigned alongside extremists who believe the attacks were deserved.

The speech served as a call to mobilize voters ahead of the critical midterm elections in November, as Republicans face polling challenges that could result in losing control of both chambers of Congress.
