"SNIP..........

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is under attack after downplaying bomb threats across Springfield, Ohio on the grounds that no bombs have actually been found in the targeted schools.

The threats on the community and schools have been going on for the past several days and they have forced multiple evacuations, although no one has yet planted an actual explosive device at any of the buildings.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Vance demanded an apology from the media and Democrats who pointed the finger at him and Trump for the threats.

However, Vance's comments were met with a swift backlash.

Actor Brian Guest posted on X, "JD Vance wants an apology because some bomb threats were fake. He wants them to be real."

..........SNIP"
