Vice President JD Vance told workers in a speech Friday in Bay City, Michigan, that outside the event should “get out of the streets and return to work.”
Vance and U.S. Small Business Administration Chief Kelly Loeffler toured Vantage Plastics, a plastics manufacturer in Michigan, making comments on “emphasis on the American industry revival.” During his speech at the facility, the vice president said protesters outside the event were proof that President Donald Trump's administration needs to bring manufacturing back to the US to shorten their hands.
“We're sure we've seen this amazing event, this great facility, this great business, and of course, a great worker, and we've all seen a few protesters outside. Vance said. “I mean, who are the people? And I think it's one of the reasons why we have to rebuild American manufacturing and support great companies like Vantage Plastics. That's good for them, and that's good for everyone else.” (Related: JD Vance calls protesters screaming to “chase” his 3-year-old daughter)
