JD Vance Confronts Protester Waving Mexican Flag at GOP Convention
Vance used the removal of a protester waving a Mexican flag to argue that Democrats are hostile to America and to sharpen his 2028 profile.
- Vice President Vance confronted a protester waving a Mexican-flag during his keynote address at the Republican Convention in Dallas on Thursday, telling the heckler, "if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there," and offering a plane ticket.
