Explosive footage has emerged showing US Senator JD Vance, recently selected as Donald Trump's running mate, embroiled in a heated mid-air confrontation with British journalist Mikey Smith.
In-Flight Explosion Caught on Camera
The Mirror's Political Correspondent captured the extraordinary moment when the Republican vice-presidential nominee lost his cool at 30,000 feet. Witnesses describe Vance becoming increasingly agitated before launching into a tirade against Smith, who was working on a story about the politician.
Temperament Questions for Trump's VP Pick
The incident raises serious questions about Vance's suitability for high office, coming just days after his surprise selection as Trump's running mate. Political analysts suggest the footage could damage the Republican ticket's credibility, particularly regarding Vance's much-touted "working class hero" image.
Eyewitness Accounts Paint Damning Picture
Multiple passengers confirmed the altercation, with one describing Vance's behaviour as "unbecoming of a future vice-president". The senator allegedly took exception to Smith's line of questioning before the situation escalated dramatically.
This latest controversy follows Vance's remarkable political transformation from "Never Trump" critic to staunch MAGA loyalist. Critics argue the in-flight outburst reveals worrying signs about his temperament under pressure.
