Conservatives cheered on JD Vance as they castigated George Stephanopoulos over a tense interview.
MAGAworld is out for George Stephanopoulos yet again after the ABC host challenged Vice President JD Vance in a testy interview on Sunday. Conservatives lashed out at Stephanopoulos for cutting off Vance and abruptly cueing in commercials after a tense back-and-forth over border czar Tom Homan, who was reportedlyasked five times whether or not Homan kept the money.
Vance repeatedly shut down the story as a “ridiculous smear” and argued that “there’s no evidence” the border czar accepted any bribes.Vance grew increasingly frustrated and ended the interview by attacking Stephanopoulos, claiming that he was “losing credibility” with viewers for “going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole” instead of asking about the government shutdown. Before discussing Homan, however, Stephanopoulos had also asked Vance about the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and the deployment of troops to Illinois. “It’s not a weird left-wing rabbit hole. I didn’t insinuate anything,” Stephanopoulos shot back. “I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024 and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.”The exchange didn’t sit well with administration allies and MAGA devotees alike, who aired their grievances against Stephanopoulos on X.Richard GrenellWilliam Martin, Vance’s communications director, took a victory lap on behalf of his boss."Here’s why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you’re losing credibility…Right now, low income women can't get food because the Democrats… “Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S doesn’t care about that. He’s here to focus on the real story: a fake scandal involving Tom Homan,” he said.also posted a clip of the interview with the caption: “VP nukes George Slopidopolous for obsessing over made-up Fake News BS while not asking a single question about the Democrat Shutdown.”reported that he accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as businessmen last year, before he became border czar, with the promise of helping them win government contracts under the second Trump administration. Trump’s Justice Department later shut down a probe into the incident and the White House has stood by its border czar.. “It’s hit piece after hit piece after hit piece and I’m glad the FBI and DOJ came out and said, you know, said that nothing illegal happened, no criminal activity.”
