“Ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop."
Senator and Republican vice presidential pick JD Vance left CNN anchor Jake Tapper stunned on the host's Sunday morning show, State of the Union.
Vance fielded Tapper’s questions, many of which had little relevance to the 2024 election campaign. Throughout the interview, Tapper attempted to set Vance up with misleading questions, but Vance showed once again why he received the VP nod from former President Donald Trump.
“So all ten people, including the former vice-president, uh, Mike Pence; all of these people have this horribly damaged worldview, and they’re all just going after Donald Trump because they want to send people into war. That’s really your argument?” Tapper asked, to which Vance responded, “Absolutely, that is my argument!… all of these people, they came into office thinking they could control Donald Trump when he said he wanted peace in the world… when [they] found out that they couldn’t, they all turned on Donald Trump.”
Vance also would not allow Tapper to spread misinformation and lies about Trump, including the Russia hoax.
“Ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop,” said Vance.
“The FBI was investigating it and so we covered it,” Tapper said, before Vance shot back, “So, you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on the network as if they were the gospel… a viewer of your network would have believed Trump and Putin would have conspired in 2016. That was totally and preposterously false… you covered it in a way that gave credence to anonymous sources and accusations. You did it yourself. Your network did it.”
Vance also dismissed claims by retired Gen. John Kelly who said that Trump “falls into the general definition” of a fascist, saying that Kelly was in communication with Vice President Harris’ campaign and that the remarks were part of the effort to get her elected.
