Colorado Rep. Jason Crow spoke Thursday on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, an evening focused on the future as Kamala Harris formally accepts her party’s nomination for president.
Crow, a former Army Ranger, opened his speech by taking aim at JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee.
“Over 100 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan taught me what really, really makes America strong and secure. You see, it’s not tough talk, it’s not chest thumping because in war, talk is cheap,” he said. “And trust me, I know a couch commando when I see one.”
Harris’ speech is her first official chance to offer her vision for the country to voters. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally accepted the vice presidential nomination the day before.
