The Trump campaign attacked Kamala Harris’ “interns” for spreading “fake news” after the Democratic nominee’s team launched a broadside against JD Vance for lamenting that school shootings are an unfortunate “fact of life” that warrants more robust security in public schools.
At a campaign event in Phoenix Thursday, Vance called this week’s shooting in Georgia “an awful tragedy” that should not have happened and offered his sympathies to affected families at Apalachee High School.
“I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” Vance said, responding to a question from a reporter. “But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security at our schools so if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children they’re not able to.”
