Vice President J.D. Vance praised President Donald Trump’s “political genius,” but he gave advice to the administration’s supporters about “far-left fanatics” on “My View with Lara Trump.”
“The president’s political genius is he’s encouraged the far left now to come out in defense of violent crime in our big cities,” Vance began.
