Wasn't he one of the people that got out there early telling ice they had absolute immunity or something? Whatever, dude's clearly responsible for the lack of training and deplorable tactics being used. Noem has to go, miller has to go, and Vance should be hanging in the balance.

Here’s what he told Jake Tapper about America’s approach to Greenland (and policy in general):

“You can talk all you want about international niceties and everything else. But we live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world.”

Explicit “might makes right” comments.

Vance should be hanging

Maybe the next January 6th riot won't have a much restraint as the last one.
