Vance tells Harris ‘shut the hell up!’ and calls John Kelly a 'disgruntled ex-employee'

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was asked during his campaign event in Michigan on Thursday about former President Donald Trump's chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, coming out and revealing details of his obsession with Adolf Hitler's generals and his attempt to back out of paying for a fallen Latina soldier's funeral.

Vance's response was to first attack Kelly — and then go after Vice President Kamala Harris, who denounced Trump's remarks in a press conference earlier this week.

"John Kelly was fired by Donald Trump and he's pissed off about it and he won't stop talking about it," said Vance. "Now, look, here's the thing. Every time that John Kelly says something happened, you've got three or four people who were allegedly in the room when it happened saying he's making it up. Even Mike Pence's chief of staff said that John Kelly is making up a bunch of crap about Donald J. Trump. So who do we believe? Do we believe multiple eyewitnesses or do we believe a disgruntled ex-employee?"

Vance then added, "I guarantee" Kelly coordinated his interview in The Atlantic with Harris' campaign before it went forward.

"We gotta ask ourselves, why are the media and most importantly, why is Kamala Harris talking about a disgruntled former employee instead of the fact that under her leadership, grocery prices are up 25 percent in the state of Michigan instead of talking about something that happened five years ago?" he raged. "I speak as an American citizen and I am offended for my fellow American citizens when a person is running for president of the United States, not on what she's gonna do for the American people, but on a bunch of petty grievances from years ago."

"Talk about the future, Kamala Harris, talk about what you want to do and shut the hell up about what happened four years ago," he added.
