Fri Sep 06 04:06:07 UTC 2024: 1. Republican VP candidate JD Vance called school shootings “a fact of life” and advocated for increased security over gun control in response to the recent shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia.
2. Vance’s comments sparked criticism from Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, who condemned his remarks and accused him of attacking gun safety reform.
3. Survivors of past mass shootings and family members of victims also condemned Vance’s comments, with one calling him a “miserable pr-ck” for suggesting school shootings are inevitable.
4. Vance and his supporters claimed he was misquoted by the media, particularly the Associated Press, which reported his full quote acknowledging that he did not like school shootings being a “fact of life.”
5. The AP later updated its headline to clarify that Vance lamented the prevalence of school shootings as a fact of life, and Republican anger towards the media was evident at a campaign event in Arizona.
