The Philippine vice president publicly threatens to have the president assassinated
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin referred the “active threat” against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to his elite presidential guards on Saturday “for immediate proper action.”
Summary
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte publicly threatened to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the House Speaker assassinated if she were killed, escalating tensions between the two leaders.
Duterte accused Marcos and his allies of corruption, incompetence, and persecuting her staff, sparking the tirade.
The Presidential Security Command deemed the threat a national security issue and boosted Marcos’ protection.
This marks a severe fallout in their alliance after their 2022 election victory, amid broader political divisions and Duterte’s growing criticism of the administration.

You wouldn't want that. JD Vance is miles worse than Trump in every way people hate trump for.
We kinda do. Trump nearly had Pence hanged by a lynch mob.
