Vice President JD Vance delivered an excellent Independence Day message on Saturday aboard the USS Kearsarge in New York Harbor.
Vance urged all present to reject the two-dimensional message of the left which seeks to denigrate America and called on everyone to embrace the country’s ‘grace and greatness.’

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have to address what you will hear from some loud voices today. Because as much as all of us, whether we’re Democrat or Republican, whatever our political persuasion — all of us are celebrating. But you’ll hear a couple small but loud voices today speak obsessively not of our national greatness, but of our national imperfections.”
He pointed out that “these people misunderstand the essence of America, from Thomas Jefferson to Henry Kaiser.” They also “misunderstand that we all have moments of great power,” despite having imperfections, he said.
“What I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two-dimensional view of your fellow citizens, and reject the two-dimensional view of your country. Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it is not. Our history is one of people carving a great civilization out of the wilderness. Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness.”
Vance was an outstanding choice by PDJT for VP. Vance proves this every time he speaks.
