Senator JD Vance ripped into Vice President Kamala Harris for using a teleprompter in her speeches minutes before making his own gaffe during a campaign stop.
At a campaign event in Eerie, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Vance slammed Harris for her use of teleprompters.
“I don’t need a teleprompter, I’ve actually got thoughts in my head,” Vance told the crowd. “Unlike Kamala Harris.”
Minutes later, Vance made a mistake while speaking, referring to Afghanistan’s Abbey Gate — where 13 American troops and 170 Afghan civilians died in a terrorist attack in August 2021 — as Abbey Road, the infamous Beatles album.
Monday marked the third anniversary of the attack, which happened amid the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.
“The families of these poor people who had their loved ones die three years ago at Abbey Road, they had to – I mean, Abbey Gate,” Vance said.
The gaffe came as Vance answered a reporter’s question about a recent NPR report that claimed a Donald Trump campaign staffer verbally abused and pushed a cemetery official who tried to stop them from filming and photographing in a section of the cemetery known as Section 60, where recent US casualties are buried.
