In a recent address, J.D. Vance, the author of the bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," and now a vice-presidential nominee, spoke passionately about the plight of the American working class and the need for a government that prioritizes their interests.
He highlighted the struggles of energy workers in Pennsylvania and Ohio, who are perplexed by President Joe Biden's preference for foreign energy sources over domestic ones. "Its about the energy worker in Pennsylvania and Ohio," Vance stated, "who doesnt understand why Joe Biden is willing to buy energy from tinpot dictators but not hard-working Americans right here at home."
According to The Post Millennial, Vance also shared his personal story of growing up with a single mother who battled financial difficulties and addiction. "And, its about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up," he said. He praised former President Donald Trump for his dedication to the American people, despite the personal sacrifices he had to make. "For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for the people of our country. He didnt need politics, but the country needed him," he asserted.
Vance went on to recount the harrowing incident where Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. He emphasized the former President's resilience and commitment to the nation, even in the face of such adversity. "When Donald J. Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field all of America stood with him," he declared. He also highlighted Trump's call for unity and his unwavering dedication to the nation, even in the aftermath of the attack. "Even in his most perilous moment we were on his mind. His instinct was for us. To call us to something higher. To something greater. To once again be citizens who ask what our country needs of us," Vance said.
Vance's speech also touched on the need for a government that is open to debate and the exchange of ideas. He praised the GOP as a party that values free speech and is united by a love for America. "The new GOP is truly a big tent party, united in our love for America, and committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas," he said.
In his acceptance of the vice-presidential nomination, Vance reflected on his humble beginnings in a town that he claimed was forgotten by the ruling class in Washington. He criticized Biden's record on trade and the decline of middle-class jobs, as well as the "disastrous invasion of Iraq," which he himself served in. He concluded by praising Trump's foresight on these issues, stating, "Somehow, a real estate developer from New York by the name of Donald Trump was right on all of these issues while Joe Biden was wrong. Donald Trump knew, even then, that we needed leaders who would put America first."
Vance's speech serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by many Americans and the need for a government that prioritizes their needs. His words echo the sentiments of many who believe in the importance of putting America first and the need for leaders who are willing to fight for the interests of the American people.
