JD Vance, Vice President, was captured on a hot mic speaking to House Speaker Mike Johnson during Donald Trump’s speech to Congress.
Vance was overheard saying, “We could have coordinated I guess, but…” and then added, “I’ve gotta be honest,” followed by a comment about the speech being “a full reckoning, long overdue.” Lip reader Jeremy Freeman interpreted this as a criticism of the situation.
Vance’s comments, which came amid Trump’s speech, have drawn attention after his remarks on Ukraine. Vance suggested that the best security guarantee for the U.S. was through economic involvement in Ukraine, dismissing the contributions of countries like the UK and France.
His remarks angered many on social media, with some accusing him of disrespecting British and French troops who have supported military efforts.
