"SNIP..........
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is under attack after downplaying bomb threats across Springfield, Ohio on the grounds that no bombs have actually been found in the targeted schools.
The threats on the community and schools have been going on for the past several days and they have forced multiple evacuations, although no one has yet planted an actual explosive device at any of the buildings.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Vance demanded an apology from the media and Democrats who pointed the finger at him and Trump for the threats.
However, Vance's comments were met with a swift backlash.
Actor Brian Guest posted on X, "JD Vance wants an apology because some bomb threats were fake. He wants them to be real."

Break out the "burner phones", amigos!
That guy is a totally fitting running-mate for Trump.
Neither of them think before they open their mouths....

(34,317 posts)For the safety of the public, bomb threats have to be taken seriously. Experts must be dispatched to the scene to thoroughly check things out. Bomb threats are scary and disruptive, regardless of whether a bomb is found or not.
Is JD suggesting a different approach to dealing with bomb threats? Perhaps just rolling the dice and ignoring threats until folks get blown up? What would JD say if that were to happen?
It sounds like JD's brain is not fully developed. I'm not sure how he got a law degree. Something is seriously wrong with him.
