The Justice Department under President Joe Biden and his wanna-be successor Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has "absolutely" been going after their political opponents, Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (OH) told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday.

Host Kristin Welker pointed out that two of Trump's former high-ranking staffers in the U.S. military came out and called him fascist last week, which she apparently considered incriminating.

“Let me ask you about what we heard this week," she said. "Donald Trump’s chief of staff former General John Kelly, said he is a fascist. Mark Milley also called him a fascist. When two four-star generals who worked so closely with Donald Trump called him a fascist why shouldn’t voters believe them, senator?”

But Vance had a response ready for her that explained perfectly well why they might have done so.

"Disgruntled employees"

Vance said, “I think Mark Milley and John Kelly are disgruntled employees. The very things they accused Donald Trump of people who were in the room at the time some of those comments have made have said explicitly Donald Trump did not say the things he was accused of."

Trump has been the victim of numerous allegations that were later refuted by others who witnessed what actually happened.

Most recently, he was accused by The Atlantic of complaining about paying for a military funeral of a murdered female soldier.

The magazine quoted anonymous sources who told them that Trump said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f***ing Mexican" when he got the bill for the funeral of Vanessa Guillén after offering the family to help paying for it.

Supposedly, he also ordered his chief of staff at the time Mark Meadows not to pay the bill.

More lies

Guillén's sister spoke out after the story broke to dispute its allegations.

“I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics – hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” she wrote. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

An attorney for the family, Natalie Khawam, and Meadows also disputed the account, with Khawam saying,

After having dealt with hundreds of reporters in my legal career, this is unfortunately the first time I have to go on record and call out Jeffrey Goldberg@the Atlantic: not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story. More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen’s murder … for cheap political gain.

As for the accusations of fascism, Vance argued effectively that Trump's previous tenure disproves the entire narrative.

"Donald Trump was president for four years. If he was what John Kelly said he was then why did Donald Trump deliver peace and prosperity? He didn’t arrest his political opponents as Kamala Harris and her Department of the Justice have in fact done," Vance said.
