US Vice President JD Vance suggests 'Release the Epstein files' heckler at North Carolina rally is an 'illegal immigrant'

Vance had just told the crowd in Hendersonville that America has had 'zero illegal border crossings'. When the protester was led away, he added: 'But one isn't bad, right?' The young man was ushered out still shouting while the crowd chanted 'USA'. Vance said the outburst showed what 'far left Democrats' stand for: 'fraudsters, criminals and illegal aliens'.

The heckler waved a North Carolina flag and shouted 'God bless our children'.

It came a week after a scuffle disrupted Trump's October 12 rally in Youngstown, Ohio.

Vance and Trump are touring ahead of the midterms while gas prices skyrocket.
