JD Vance Has a Theory About Why the DNC is in Chicago

Republican vice presidential candidate and U.S. Senator JD Vance held a press conference in Wisconsin Tuesday after the Democratic National Convention kicked off in Chicago Monday night. During his remarks, Vance offered a theory about why the DNC is being held in the Windy City. Over the weekend, 30 people were shot in gang related violence and Chicago businesses have boarded up their windows in preparation for rioting.

Vance was referring to Walz' lies about his military record and stolen valor, which include him falsely stating he carried weapons in war, lying about being deployed to a war zone, embellishing his rank and more.

Meanwhile, his military record isn't the only thing Walz has lied about. He also claimed he wouldn't have children without IVF. His wife was never given IVF treatments. Their children were conceived and born naturally.
