J.D. Vance attempts to link Kamala Harris to his mother's drug addiction at border visit

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance attempted to link Vice President Kamala Harris to his mother's drug addiction at a campaign event on Thursday.

While speaking from the U.S. border in Arizona, Vance repeated a story about his childhood.

"A lot of you know my story, and I have been a little kid waiting at the bedside of his mother, angry that his mom took something that she shouldn't have taken, but praying to God, please Jesus, let her wake up," Vance said.

"And the unfortunate truth is because of the poison that Kamala Harris has let come into this country, there are a lot of those prayers that won't be answered," he continued. "There are a lot of parents that won't wake up, because when you take fentanyl, you don't wake up."

"There are a lot of moms and dads out there who will never see their kids walk down the aisle because of what Kamala Harris has unleashed at this border."

Vance detailed his tough upbringing with a drug addicted mother in his book "Hillbilly Elegy."

Vance has recently been criticized for attacks on Harris, particularly one in which he said Harris was one of the "childless cat ladies" running the country.
