Vice President JD Vance was interrupted during his speech at the GOP midterm convention by a protester, leading to taunts from the MAGA crowd.
Vance spoke on the last night of the GOP convention in Dallas, where he repeatedly invoked the word "birthright" in his grievance-laden speech. At one point, he told the crowd, "We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer."
A protester began shouting at Vance during the speech and waved a Mexican flag. Vance then said, "Get your a— back to Mexico. I'll buy the plane ticket."
"If you don't like the USA, go back to Mexico," a woman from the crowd could be heard yelling.
