Statement on Neighbors and Language

During an interview for a New York Post podcast, Vice President JD Vance made comments about wanting neighbors who speak the same language.

A rumor circulated online in late October 2025 regarding Vance's statement, which was shared on social media platforms such as X, Instagram, and Facebook.

Some users called the statement a "racist dog whistle" and included a video of Vance.
