Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance came under fire Saturday after saying he's "sick" of being told to care about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"I've gotten a lot of flak in the last week because I had the audacity to suggest that before our leaders obsess over a Ukrainian and Russian border 6,000 miles away, maybe they ought to guarantee the sovereignty of their own country and their own border first," Vance said during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando. "Im sick of being told that we have to care more about people 6,000 miles away than we do people like my mom."
Vance's mother, Bev, was a central character in his Hillbilly Elegy book, which documented her struggles with drug addiction.

Hey Vance you standing on a stage and speaking to a bunch of people that have no principles makes this event more ridiculous than ever....6,000 miles a way this is what happened ......do you understand what happened ....
