(10,159 posts)ATHENS, Ga. Vice President JD Vance told a crowd in Athens that organizers debated canceling Tuesdays Turning Point USA event just hours before it began due to threats directed at Erika Kirk, forcing her to miss the highly-anticipated rally.
Vance said they ultimately decided to move forward after consulting with the United States Secret Service.

(2,064 posts)says what? Athens, GA used to be a very liberal college town. Home of the B52's and REM.
Don't know what it is today but doubt it's the hotbed of MAGA they were expecting.
And wait a minute, there are multiple threats against Erika but NONE against the VP of the USA?
Pathological Liars, all of them.

(26,191 posts)the VICE PRESIDENT shows up anyway?
If a threat was scary enough to keep her away, why would the Secret Service let the VP be there?
