J.D. Vance on Shooting at Dallas ICE Facility: ‘It Is Time to Stop the Rhetorical Assault on Law Enforcement’ : The Other McCain

Posted on | September 25, 2025 | No Comments

A 29-year-old lunatic named Joshua Jahn — a criminal, a drug addict and, perhaps not coincidentally, a Democratic primary voter — opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas early Wednesday morning. The attack killed two immigrant detainees and wounded a third; Jahn committed suicide before he could be apprehended. It appears that the detainees were in the line of fire because they were inside an ICE van that Jahn shot into blindly. “Anti-ICE” slogans were found on shell casings at the scene.

It so happened that Vice President J.D. Vance was scheduled to speak Wednesday in Concord, North Carolina. The recent murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte has made public safety a major issue in next year’s U.S. Senate campaign in North Carolina, where the leading candidates are Michael Whatley on the Republican side and former Gov. Roy Cooper for Democrats. Anyway, J.D. Vance just lit ’em up:

“In Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ICE messaging on their bullets. And there’s some evidence that we have that’s not yet public, but we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border and I think that is the most disgusting thing. The very people who keep us safe ought to be honored and protected and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike.
“It is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement. When Democrats, like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government, when the left-wing media lies about what they’re doing, when they lie about who they’re arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence. You don’t have to agree with my immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies, but if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell, and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America. . . .
“If you want to stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror.”

It’s about time somebody said it.
