Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance lashes out at Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in St Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday after she commented on his “loyalty” in a video posted on YouTube.

Previously, Harris, in a 45-second YouTube video posted on July 16, mentioned: “Vance would be “loyal only to Trump, not to our country and a rubber stamp for [Trump’s] “extreme agenda”.

Vance defended himself against Harris's accusations, calling him loyal only to Trump and not to the country. He highlighted his contributions to the country and mentioned Harris's failures in addressing border crises. Fox News reported.

“I saw Kamala Harris question my loyalty to this country the other day. That's the word she used: loyalty. And it's an interesting word. Semper Fi: loyalty, because there's no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border,” Vance said.

The Ohio senator discussed the failures Harris has faced as vice president.

“And I'd like to ask the vice president what she's done to question my loyalty to this country. I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I started a company for this country,” he continued.

Vance added: “And my running mate took a bullet for this country. So my question to Kamala Harris is: What the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”

After the crowd roared with applause, Vance answered his own question.

“And the answer, my friends, is nothing. So let's send a message to the media. Let's send a message to Kamala Harris. Let's send a message to all the hard-working patriots in Minnesota and across the country. We are ready for President Donald J. Trump to come back, and we're going to work hard to make sure that happens,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, a Fox News The poll shows Republican candidate Donald Trump has 46 percent support in Minnesota, while the newly elected Democratic candidate has 52 percent support.
