"If you love Mexico so much, move your ass there": Vance confronted a protester

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance confronted a protester waving a Mexican flag during his speech at the Republican convention. Vance told the protester that if he loves Mexico, he should move his ass there. The crowd chanted "48, 48" as an expression of support for Vance as a presidential candidate, but Vance did not commit.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance confronted a protester during his speech at the Republican convention ahead of the midterm elections. The protester interrupted his remarks while waving a Mexican flag, and Vance used the opportunity to respond from the stage: "If you love Mexico so much, move your ass there. I'll buy you the plane ticket." Later in his speech, the audience began chanting "48, 48" — the number of the next president after Donald Trump — thus expressing their hope that Vance would be the one to run for the presidency. Vance did not commit to his political future and replied: "Let's take care of this November and then we'll take care of November 2028." Additionally, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke at the convention, making an unusual reference to Israel, describing it as America's most important ally in the fight against the toxic ideology of Islamism.
