Prospective Republican vice president nominee J.D. Vance attacked Apple with accusations of the iPhone maker using Chinese slave labor. Unsurprisingly, he’s incredibly wrong, and a five-minute Google search would have made that clear.

As the U.S. election roadshow continues to run until November’s polling day, candidates and their parties are continuing to try and gain column-inches any way they can. For J.D. Vance, the Republican vice president nominee running alongside former president Donald Trump, this has now led to him attacking Apple with about the most nonsensical claim possible.
On Thursday, Vance used his appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to talk about taxes and tariffs. However, as part of his discussions about how companies relying on China for manufacturing should be taxed, he had to have a little dig at Apple.
