JD Vance Sunday lashed out at ABC's George Stephanopoulos after the host pulled the plug on an interview.
Vance spoke with Stephanopoulos on ABC, and the host asked questions about reports that "Border Czar" Tom Homan had accepted a $50,000 bribe as part of an operation by the FBI years ago. Instead of answering the direct question on whether Homan had accepted the money, Vance pivoted to talk about the shutdown, on which he blamed Democrats, and the interview was abruptly ended.
After the interview, Vance took to social media to complain about the topic of the question.
"Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S doesn’t care about that," Vance said. "He’s here to focus on the real story: a fake scandal involving Tom Homan."
