What an idiot. Attacking JD Vance's home plays right into MAGA simpleton's hands. Cast out anyone who suggests or worse does things like this.
U.S. Secret Service agents assigned to the Ohio home of Vice President JD Vance “physically detained” a man at the property after windows were broken.
Man in custody after windows broken at JD Vance’s home, Secret Service says
