As former President Donald Trump has repeated his “enemy from within” line on the campaign trail to refer to political opponents, his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), came to his defense, saying that “broken” leadership in the United States is worse than any foreign adversary to the country.

Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Vance was asked whether he thought the political opponents Trump has referred to in his comment, specifically Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), are “more dangerous” than foreign adversaries such as Russia and China.
