In response, Harris for President Campaign Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released a statement:
“Donald Trump and JD Vance are running a campaign openly sowing hatred and promising revenge against their political opponents. It’s a feature, not a bug, of their campaign and message to the American people. That’s why a Republican official was empowered to predict a civil war while introducing these candidates.
“Trump and Vance pay lip service to unity, but their actions are more focused on dividing Americans than bringing us together. It’s the polar opposite of everything Vice President Harris stands for.
“Donald Trump and JD Vance should denounce George Lang’s calls for violence and apologize for platforming this kind of violence.”
