Vance Visits Marines and Fires Weapons Providing Stark Contrast to Walz’s Viral Shotgun Campaign Flub – Twitchy

Vice President JD Vance visited with young Marines in Quantico on Wednesday. He was touting the Trump administration’s ending of racist and sexist DEI policies in the U.S. military. Vance is a Marine veteran and spent time firing various weapons with the troops. It provided a stark contrast between Vance and former vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, who struggled with loading a shotgun on the campaign trail.

We don’t even want to imagine Walz and Kamala Harris in the White House.

The weapons practice allowed Vance to show off his superb shooting skills. (WATCH)

🔥 Dang, our VP can REALLY shoot.

“Hit! Headshot!”

Nicely done, @JDVance.

Headshot! This is what a VP does, he boosts the morale of our military at the order of the commander in chief.

Some VPs have pronouns in their bio. This VP has precision and backbone.

The troops must love this

You know they did.

Vance has a natural affinity with our nation’s troops. So does Trump. Our nation would be a nightmare with Harris and Walz at the helm. Commenters agree.

Incredible contrast. What a different version of America we would be if Kamala had won the election.

Where would we be with a Harris-Walz dilemma…?

Two coasts at war with a heartland.

The VPOTUS was the right choice 👍🏻

We sure did. We cannot imagine these young Marines being equally excited over a visit from President Harris or Vice President Walz.
