Original Note:
JD Vance did say the phrase “fact of life” but not in the context that is widely reported on X. JD Vance stated that he doesn’t like that school shootings are a fact of life in the US. His quote was taken out of context. https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-georgia-shooting-7d7727a1aff8491f66914a4d8a14cd8c https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/06/jd-vance-school-shootings/ https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/jd-vance-school-shootings-fact-of-life/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/09/06/jd-vance-accused-of-downplaying-school-shootings-as-fact-of-life-heres-what-he-really-said/
