Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said President Joe Biden‘s “garbage” gaffe and other insults made about Trump supporters are about “silencing people.”

“Joe Biden called half of America garbage for wanting to vote for Donald J. Trump,” he said during a town hall stop in High Point, North Carolina. “Kamala Harris and her running mate have been calling people who support Trump Nazis and fascists. What is that ultimately about? It’s about silencing people.”
