Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) condemned a Russia-funded video circulating online that purports to capture a person tearing up ballots in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania, but declined to say that penalties should be imposed on Moscow for the election interference.

“A lot of countries are going to try to manipulate our voters,” Vance told CBS’s Face the Nation. “I think the bigger question is, what is in our best interest vis-à-vis Russia, not what price Russia should pay for putting out social media videos. And I think what’s in our best interest vis-a-vis Russia is, in particular, for them to stop supporting the Iranians as the Iranians engage in acts of aggression.”
