WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance said on Tuesday that a potential second Trump administration would support the introduction of the death penalty for drug dealers because they kill way more people than violent criminals.
"We are going to support the death penalty for drug dealers, because they kill far more people than some of the most violent and vicious criminals," Vance said in his remarks during a campaign event at Kenosha, Wisconsin.
"We've got to have real penalties for people who are killing our kids and poisoning our communities," he added.
