The Associated Press (AP) has deleted a disingenuous article claiming former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, described school shootings as “a fact of life.” The supposedly impartial news wire service had taken the Ohio lawmaker grossly out of context, with his full quote on the subject of a recent shooting in Georgia being, “I don’t like this. I don’t like to admit this. I don’t like that this is a fact of life, but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you’ve realized that our schools are soft targets, and we have got to bolster security at our schools.”
Vance also said, “If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we’ve got to be prepared for it,” stressing: “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it.”
