'Stay the hell away from our kids!' Vance puts the American family and 'shared birthright' center stage

Vice President JD Vance celebrated the American family and our national "birthright" as he and President Donald Trump brought the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas to a close Thursday night. Vance focused his speech on the American family, touting the Trump administration's pro-family policies and attacking Democrat positions on health care. "I want to live in a country where doctors answer to parents and to the Hippocratic oath, not to a bunch of far-left bureaucrats," he said. Vance went on to highlight America's history and the American way of life, referring to it as our "shared birthright." He also noted the importance of the Trump administration's border enforcement and deportation accomplishments to help maintain that way of life. Vance not only claimed that Democrats reject this birthright, but he also had a clear message for those radicals who threaten it and the traditional family: "Stay the hell away from our kids!" Trump spoke as well, highlighting his administration's accomplishments and urging Republicans to "pretend" that he is up for re-election again when they go out to vote this November. After the speeches, opera singer Christopher Macchio ended the night with renditions of "America the Beautiful," "Nessun Dorma," and "All I Ask of You." The crowd was explosive throughout the night, frequently erupting into applause and patriotic chants. An attendee from Houston, Holly Ham, told Blaze News she was thoroughly impressed with the vice president's speech and thought the convention did its job as far as motivating Republican voters.
