The Associated Press (AP) faced significant backlash after misquoting JD Vance's remarks about the tragic school shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Vance, who lamented school shootings as a 'fact of life' while calling for increased school security, was initially portrayed by the AP as accepting such violence. Following social media outrage, the AP revised its headline to better reflect Vance's stance. Kamala Harris and her campaign used the initial misquote to criticize Vance, emphasizing that school shootings should not be accepted as inevitable. The incident has sparked a broader debate between Republicans and Democrats on gun control and school security measures.
