‘Go Straight To Hell’: JD Vance Lights Up NBC For Retracted Anti-ICE Story One Day Before Attack

Vice President JD Vance let media outlets have it for continuing to paint law enforcement as the bad guys — in some cases going so far as to suggest that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were no different from Hitler’s Gestapo — saying that anyone who continued to do so could “go straight to hell.”

Vance, speaking from North Carolina on Wednesday, was responding to a deadly shooting that had taken place just hours earlier at a Texas ICE facility — and he argued that the media was complicit in the continuing attacks on law enforcement officers.

“[NBC] said that immigration enforcement – do you know what they said? — that immigration enforcement had detained a 5-year-old autistic girl in order to get to that girl’s father,” Vance began. “It turned out that story was a complete fabrication, it was a complete dishonest lie. “But when you go around and lie about our law enforcement and you tell them that they’re mistreating five-year-old girls, what do you think is gonna happen?”

NBC was forced to issue a correction on the piece in question.

Video shows ICE with 5-year-old girl while agents attempt to arrest her father.

Correction: An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the activities of ICE agents in the video. The article has been updated.https://t.co/7tjdnE8tOU

“Here’s what happens when Democrats like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government,” Vance said. “When the left-wing media lies about what they’re doing, when they lie about who they’re arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence.”

“You don’t have to agree with my immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies,” Vance continued. “But your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell, and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America.”
