Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) made a really sick comparison when he attacked Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic policies over the weekend.
The embattled Republican vice presidential nominee did nothing to soften the strange allegations when he referenced notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”
In an attempt to paint Harris as dangerously irresponsible about the national economy, he told Fox News moderator Shannon Bream: “Giving Harris a terrible inflation policy, Shannon, is like giving Jeffrey Epstein control of human trafficking policy.”
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges for sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls.
Vance, quickly glancing past his obnoxious dig, added, “Americans are a lot smarter. They don’t buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a new beginning.
Bream barely blinked at the obnoxious comment before continuing to press Vance about former President Donald Trump’s explosive poll numbers.
Interestingly, it was Trump and Vance who found themselves in Epstein’s orbit.
Last week, it was reported that the Republican candidates had been using a Gulfstream G-550 jet that once belonged to the disgraced financier.
The campaign leased the plane from Private Jet Services Group after Trump’s Boeing 757 began experiencing engine problems earlier this month.
In a statement to the Miami Herald, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign claimed that their operation had no idea the jet was connected to Epstein.
“The campaign was unaware that the charter plane was owned by Mr. Epstein,” a Trump representative said in a statement. “We heard about the former owner through the media.”
