Stephanopoulos was panicking. He fully recognized what would happen if he let Vance go on....liability for the network and himself.

Harvard Hillbilly Vance--fast double-talker who couldn't sell out because he had nothing to sell in the first place. Just posing opportunism, sociopathy and soullessness. Made for MAGA.

AND bought and paid for by Peter Thiel.

He funded his campaign.

Yep. Get them to admit their sedition and then stop their concealing it beneath a never-ending slurry of manure.

Man, it really does take a lot for a Republican Senator to get rolled by any member of the MSM. Junior's just new at this. He'll get better. You watch. Just needs a little more seasoning.

Maybe if Meet the Press interviewed more Democrats instead the usual Republicans the show would be more popular.

Or at least less cringe.

"Stephanopoulos then asked Vance about his endorsement of a convicted sexual assaulter, and Vance tried to minimize the impact of what these actions say to victims."

That sounds just like Christian apologists trying to defend all those genocides their god committed. I suppose they and JD Vance are showing us how one should defend one's own god.

According to Repubs, they never lose. And if they do lose it's because the other side cheated.

What a bunch of whiners. And liars. They even whine their lies.

I’m a 69 y/o retiree. I don’t watch these Sunday morning wankfests, nor do any of my friends. We’re all doctors and lawyers and such. Even my best friend, who thinks David Brooks is a serious intellectual (😳😳😳), doesn’t watch. . Who actually watches these shows? What is their demographic? Also, too, JD Vance is a bullshit filled poltroon.

J D is an opportunistic asshole who unfortunately believes that a life in the corporate sector making a fuckton of money and writing a mediocre book makes him qualified to make laws. Every time he opens his mouth shows us why his belief system is wrong and harmful to the rest of us.

Here's what I thought after reading his book: His mother was way too smart to be stuck in Appalachia where the only thing a woman can hope for is to be rescued by a man. Unfortunately she did not have access to birth control, abortion, or feminist thinking. She ended up using drugs and trying to find a man to take care of her instead of beating her. She finally found her way to the community college and ended up with one of the highest paying careers in nursing: a nurse-anesthetist! His story was a huge reminder to me that smart people can be destroyed by their culture.

I really wish Ohio democrats would vote in every election and not just the presidential ones.

I wrote Vance an email suggesting he just stay off the TV to avoid embarrassing himself.

Proof once again that Ivy League schools are overrated.

Agreed. Yale and Harvard are not covering themselves in glory lately.

Exactly. They should take many serving alums/Congresscrittets out of their brag books.

As least Stephanopoulos pushed back. Good for him.

At least they shut off his mic and wouldn’t let him protest.

We know Vance is lying. Stephanopolous knows he’s lying. Vance knows that he’s lying. My one-eyed cat Pirate knows he’s lying.

Was your one-eyed cat Pirate named before it became one-eyed? If so, mind blown.
