Examples of vent in a Sentence

1. Ted Cruz:

   As I've said repeatedly, what we saw on January 6 was a despicable terrorist attack on the United States Capitol and those who carried it out should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Unfortunately, this impeachment trial did nothing to bring the domestic terrorists who committed this heinous attack to justice. It merely satisfied Democrats' desire to once again vent their hatred of Donald Trump and their contempt for the tens of millions of Americans who voted for him.

2. Kyle Anderson:

   It's possible that new explosions will blast through the rubble at the bottom of the vent, and these may or may not be larger than previous explosions, it's also possible that the vent could become permanently blocked, ending the explosions entirely.
