Vice President-elect JD Vance confirmed Friday that he invited Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran recently acquitted of a negligent homicide charge in New York City, to be his guest at the Army-Navy college football game over the weekend. “Daniel’s a good guy, and New York’s mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone,” Vance wrote in a post on the social platform X, replying to a reporter from NOTUS, which first reported on the invitation.
