JD Vance in Twitter.com election tweets
On Crime:
Violent crime spike because police afraid to do their jobs
We have a massive spike in violent crime because police officers are afraid to do their jobs.
Any "crime prevention" effort that focuses on job training or gun seizures is a giant distraction. @JDVance1

On Education:
Student loan forgiveness is a windfall for the rich
In June 2023, Vance voted for a joint resolution "for congressional disapproval of an October 2022 Education Department rule that allows for loan forgiveness of up to $10,000 in loan debt for federal student loan borrowers. Under the provisions of the
joint resolution, the Education Department rule would have no force or effect, canceling the loan forgiveness program and reinstating loan payments and interest accrual that was suspended under the rule." The vote was on passage. The Senate passed the
resolution by a vote of 52 to 46. President Biden vetoed the resolution. However, the Supreme Court struck down the rule. [Senate Vote 135, H.J. Res. 45, Congressional Quarterly, 6/1/23]Vance Tweeted: "Forgiving student debt is a massive windfall to
the rich, to the college educated, and most of all to the corrupt university administrators of America. No bailouts for a corrupt system. Republicans must fight this with every ounce of our energy and power." [Twitter, @JDVance1, 4/27/22]

On Gun Control:
Red Flag laws eliminate rights without any due process
A tweet from JD Vance: "So all of us agree that we don't want insane people to go and buy a gun and kill people. The question is how to actually accomplish that goal. Importantly, it's already a violation of federal law to sell a gun to a crazy person.
What do red flag laws do? They allow the government to eliminate peoples' rights without any due process. Say your neighbor calls the police and says you're a bad guy who's about to commit a crime? Or maybe your ex complains about you after an argument?
Now the cops can show up and remove your firearms." [Twitter, @JDVance1, 6/2/22]2018: "Vance appeared to endorse new laws to disarm those who are an imminent danger to others. 'We should make it easier to take those guns out of the hands of people
who are about to use them to murder large numbers of people. We've got to have the right balance between protecting citizens, but also protecting our really important and fundamental constitutional liberty.'" [American Journal News, 3/21/22]
