Vice President JD Vance was hit with extensive mockery on Sunday after his interview with ABC.
Vance over the weekend 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.
Similarly, Vance avoided answering a question about whether a Democratic governor should be imprisoned, as the president recently said.
Ex-GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh said Vance "is a coward."
"He sold his soul for a seat of power. He sold his soul to someone he called 'Hitler' to advance his own career," Walsh wrote. "JD Vance is everything that’s wrong with our politics today."
Democratic influencer TheFrenchie chimed in: "He sold his soul. He has no honor or integrity. He will go down as the worst Vice President in America history. Do you agree?"
Analyst Tom Nichols said, "I'd write about Vance displacing Cruz as the person most deserving of the adjective 'oleaginous', but I'd just end up saying the same thing I said about him here," linking to his own article.
Politico columnist Jonathan Martin said, "You can see why Vance so cranky about this interview: Vance knows Trump is watching, doesn’t wanna get crosswise w him, but also doesn’t wanna come out and say a sitting governor should be imprisoned."
"So this tap dance…. But tis what ya sign up for," Martin wrote on X.
