An Open Letter

To: V.P. Vance

From: A constituent in Buckhannon, WV

January 8

I am writing regarding your live briefing today about the shooting in Minnesota. I watched the briefing in real time, and I have personally viewed multiple videos of the incident from several angles. Your public statements blaming the woman who was shot are not supported by the video evidence. What you claimed does not align with what I and millions of others can plainly see. Misrepresenting lethal use of force, deflecting responsibility, and blaming a victim while video evidence shows otherwise is not leadership. It is deception. When senior officials distort the facts surrounding the killing of a civilian, it undermines public trust, obstructs accountability, and signals that constitutional rights are negotiable. Because of this briefing and your role in defending unlawful actions by the executive branch, I am formally calling on all of my elected officials to initiate impeachment, conviction, and removal proceedings against you and Donald Trump. This is not a political disagreement — it is a demand for accountability under the Constitution. No official is above the law. No press conference overrides video evidence. And no office excuses dishonesty in the face of loss of life. I expect Congress and other elected leaders to act accordingly.
