Tim Walz claims JD Vance is a white supremacist after VP says white people ‘don’t have to apologize’ for their race

Walz said, "Groceries aren't any cheaper, your community is no safer, and we have people that won't even communicate the most basic things amongst law enforcement, as we always work together, and it never mattered before who the administration was, until this one. So this is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you. This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit.

"This is what happens when they scapegoat. And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy when you hear the vice president of the United States talk about how white people won't have to apologize for being white. That's never happened once in my whole damn life. And I think everybody in this room knows what they're doing," he added.

Vance spoke at AmericaFest on Sunday, telling the crowd that the right, "unlike the left, we stand against treating anybody—and I love what Nikki [Minaj] said about this—we don’t treat anybody different because of their race or their sex, so we have relegated DEI to the dustbin of history, which is exactly where it belongs. In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore."

He continued, "And if you’re Asian, you don’t have to talk around your skin color when you’re applying for college, because we judge people based on who they are, not the ethnicity and things they can’t control. We don’t persecute you for being male, for being straight, for being gay, for being anything. The only thing that we demand is that you be a great American patriot, and if you’re that, you’re very much on our team."

Vance also took aim at Jasmine Crockett in his speech, saying, "Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails." Crockett took issue with the comment, accusing the vice president of using "racist tropes."
