On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed that 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) dismissed school shootings as “fact of life,” despite video that she played earlier in the segment that disproved her assertion and demonstrated that Vance advocated for stronger security at schools to help prevent shootings and said that it’s a “fact of life” that deranged people know schools are soft targets.
Brzezinski played video of Vance, in which Vance said, “What is going to solve this problem, and I really do believe this, is, look, 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’re a psycho, and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets, and we have got to bolster security at our schools, so that a person who walks through the front door — we’ve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they’re not able to.”
