Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance delivered a passionate speech at the Turning Point USA conference, criticizing the media for using the Ukraine conflict as a distraction from America’s leadership failures. Vance expressed concern about the declining life expectancy of middle-class Americans compared to their European counterparts and questioned why this issue isn’t receiving more attention. He also raised concerns about unchecked immigration and the loss of manufacturing jobs to China. Vance shared a video captioned, “Ukraine is the shiny object that distracts from a generation of bipartisan failure.” He emphasized the need for open dialogue on pressing domestic issues rather than fixating on international affairs. It’s time to focus on the real problems at home.
