Vance Blasted After Saying He Doesn't 'Give A Sh*t' If Bombing Venezuelan Boat Is A War Crime

Vice President JD Vance dismissed calls that the U.S. bombing a suspected Venezuelan drug-smuggling boat is a "war crime," calling it the "highest and best use of our military."

The United States military was used to kill 11 people on a boat that MAGA Republican President Donald Trump claimed was operated by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

In the aftermath of the controversial strike against a nonmilitary target based on dubious intel, Vice President JD Vance did his only apparent duty, aside from going on vacations to places he's unwanted—cheerleading for anything Trump does.


Vance posted on X:

"Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military."

When political commentator Brian Krassenstein pointed out it's a potential war crime which has serious implications for the United States' diplomatic relations with other nations...

...Vance responded with the same level of intelligence and foreign relations savvy he's displayed repeatedly.

The Vice President of the United States of America posted publicly:

"I don’t give a sh*t what you call it"

But Krassenstein didn't back down.

Vance's assertion that war crimes are A-OK with him drew swift backlash from even his fellow Republicans.

Vance's former colleague, Republican Senator Rand Paul, shared the VP's post on X and wrote:

"JD 'I don’t give a sh*t' Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the 'highest and best use of the military.'"
"Did he ever read 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?"
"Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??"
"What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."

Last week Senator Paul also slammed the Trump administration over the strike on the alleged drug boat, asserting on Newsmax that even the "worst people" should "still get a trial."

Others shared Senator Paul's sentiments about Vance.

With President Trump's approval rating losses in the polls since his election, at least there's one bright spot.

He'll likely always be more popular than VP Vance.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
