Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) unloaded on CNN’s Dana Bash during an interview on Sunday over her obvious left-wing bias when she blamed him for bomb threats and repeatedly interrupted him as he tried to answer her questions.
The intense exchange, which left Bash visibly miffed, happened on the network’s “State of the Union” show as Bash brought up recent claims that have swirled on social media about Haitian migrants eating pets and wildlife in the town of Springfield, Ohio.
“Instead of saying things that are wrong and actually causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be evacuated because of bomb threats because of the cats and dogs thing, why not actually be constructive and helping to better integrate them into the community?” Bash asked.
Vance responded, “Dana, first of all, let me just respond to a couple of things that you said. But I want to start with something you said, which I think is, frankly, disgusting and is more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist.”
“There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals,” he said. “These hospitals, the bomb threats and so forth, it’s disgusting. The violence is disgusting. We condemn it. We condemn all violence and threats of violence.”
Bash then repeatedly interrupted Vance to try to cement her argument that he was responsible for the bomb threats.
“What we have said is that this town has suffered terribly under the problem — under the policies of Kamala Harris. Now, you just accused me of inciting violence against the community, when all that I have done is surface the complaints of my constituents, people who are suffering because of Kamala Harris’ policies,” Vance said. “Are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence? We can condemn the violence on the one hand, but also talk about the terrible consequences of Kamala Harris’ open border on the other hand.”
A few moments later, Bash proceeded to enter a full debate against Vance and continued to interrupt him as he tried to answer her questions.
“Dana, would you like to ask me questions and then let me answer them, or would you like to debate me on these topics?” Vance asked. “I noticed that when you had Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that you asked and you allowed them to answer the questions. I’m happy to hear — to be here to talk about policy, but if you’re going to interrupt me every single time that I open my mouth, then why am I even doing this? So, please, ask a question and I’d ask you to be polite enough to let me answer it.”
WATCH:
I can’t stop watching this. Dana Bash jerking her head around like a bird because her target didn’t accept her Narrative’s premise. Vance rejects the premises. Then he attacks the premises. Just beautiful. pic.twitter.com/gsNOV4hiwJ
