Vance outlines Trump campaign's law and order vision: 'Simple common sense'

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance on Tuesday outlined what he called the Trump campaign's "common sense" approach to law enforcement in the United States.

Vance made the remarks during a campaign stop in Kenosha, Wisc.

"We don't just have a bunch of promises on the Trump campaign. We have got four years of Donald Trump's successful leadership that brought public safety to our streets, and that is something to celebrate and look forward to," he said. "So here is President Trump's solemn promise to our law enforcement community and all of those, all of us who benefit from their sacrifices and their public safety."

"It is simple. We are going to end sanctuary cities in this country. We're going to bring back pro law enforcement cities. We are going to deport the violent illegal aliens that have come into this country over the last few years," he said. "No more free rides, no more amnesty. We're going to support the death penalty for drug dealers because they kill far more people than some of the most violent and vicious criminals."

"We have got to have real penalties for people who are killing our kids and poisoning our our communities. We're going to protect police from frivolous lawsuits," he continued. "And finally, we're gonna stand up to soft-on-crime prosecutors. If a police officer does their job and brings in a bad guy, we need some prosecutors who actually lock those people up and put them behind bars."

"It's common sense. All this stuff is just simple common sense," he insisted.

Vance made the remarks as part of Republican counterprogramming to the Democratic National Convention. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., delivered a crime and safety-themed press conference from Trump Tower in Chicago, Ill., earlier in the day, while Trump is slated to address the topic later this afternoon.
