JD Vance suggests a 'Release the Epstein files' protester is an 'illegal immigrant' at a North Carolina rally

Vice President JD Vance told the Hendersonville crowd he had to 'amend' his claim of zero illegal border crossings, quipping: 'But one isn't bad.' The young man had stood up waving the North Carolina state flag and shouting 'God bless our children' during Monday's speech. Security led him away still yelling. The crowd then broke into chants of 'USA'.

Vance never addressed the protester's demand to release the Epstein files.

He said Democrats believe government serves 'fraudsters or criminals or illegal aliens'.

Vance insisted 'the American government exists for American citizens' as he stumped for midterm candidates.
