In a blistering interview Friday night, Vice President JD Vance unloaded on Democrats, dismissing them as rudderless, reactionary, and entirely defined by their obsession with opposing President Donald Trump. His sharpest rebuke? That Trump himself is now effectively leading the Democratic Party. Speaking with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Special Report, Vance skewered the opposition’s lack of vision and mocked growing speculation that far-left firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could make a play for the White House in 2028. “President AOC — the stuff of nightmares,” Vance said dryly, before quipping that Baier had “ruined [his] sleep for the evening” just by floating the possibility. Vance wasn’t just offering humor. His comments came in response to the recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, which has seen Ocasio-Cortez team up with democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders to bash Trump and the GOP across the country. Their coordinated blitz — amplified by AOC’s aggressive social media presence — has fueled talk of a potential presidential run. Instead of elevating Ocasio-Cortez, Vance said, the tour revealed what he sees as the party’s core problem: they stand for nothing but being anti-Trump. “To the extent the Democrats have a leader, Donald J. Trump is the leader of the Democratic Party,” Vance said. “Because they’re just against everything he does. Any time Donald Trump does anything, they have this emotional response — they have to be against it.” Vance further slammed Democrats as lacking any real governing ideas. “They don’t have real leadership,” he continued. “That’s why I’m not too concerned about 2028. If I wake up in a fantasy world where the Democrats actually have constructive ideas, great. But in the world we actually live in — where they’re just anti-Trump — the politics of 2028 will take care of themselves.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
