Vance on Hegseth plan for livestreamed execution: 'I'm not going to be watching it'

Vice President JD Vance stated on Friday that he does not intend to watch the potential livestreamed execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. Speaking to reporters in Lima, Ohio, Vance expressed skepticism regarding whether the Pentagon’s reported plan to broadcast the event in December will actually take place.

The comments follow reports regarding a proposal by Pete Hegseth to livestream the execution. While Vance acknowledged the announcements surrounding the plan, he questioned the likelihood of the event proceeding as described, distancing himself from the prospect of viewing such a broadcast.
