Vance also singled out Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of backing policies that hurt American workers while Republicans fight for Michigan’s auto industry.
His closing pitch was even simpler.
“My argument to the American people is not that you’re going to agree with us on every issue,” Vance said.
“But they’re a bunch of crazy people. Elect the common-sense people to Washington, and we’ll keep on doing great work.”
