And so the left is looking to distract from that, and their way of doing it is by somehow obtaining these messages and putting them out to distract us.

Some Republicans have been very quick to offer their denunciations to say how offended they are, how horrible these messages are, that everybody involved should be fired, that they should never be allowed in politics again.

I think that that response is

Foolish, I think it gives the left exactly what they want.

I have really appreciated J.D.

Vance's response.

Now I think the vice president has struck exactly the right chord on this.

because he's not going to play the game.

And instead, what he's done is he has redirected the conversation back to the thing that the left is trying to distract us from.

There's one reason and one reason only that this story exists, and it's to get us to stop talking about Jay Jones and the leftists who've been celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk for the last month.

That's the only reason that the story exists.

And so J.D.

Vance's point is,

No, I'm not going to play that game with you.

I'm not going to give you what you want.

Instead, I'm going to redirect the conversation back to the thing that you're trying to distract us from.

And I think that that's exactly the right move.

I think there's some disagreement about that, though.

There's more to be said about it.

But I'm going to go first to the guy who I think is most likely to agree with me.
