During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper over the weekend, VP candidate JD Vance blasted the news anchor and his network for lacking integrity and spreading the Russia hoax.
Tapper came out of the gate grilling Vance on Trump’s remarks about an “enemy from within” and retired Gen. John Kelly’s suggestion that his onetime boss fits “into the general definition of fascist.”
Vance pushed back on Tapper — hard.
“You’re taking words out of context,” an exasperated Vance said at one point. “If you’d like to put up a clip and actually put him in context, I think the American people would realize that Donald Trump is a hell of a lot more reasonable than the people like Liz Cheney, who would like to lie us into war.”
Vance continued: “Now, Jake, we also should remember, I mean, step back a little bit. Ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop.”
“FBI was investigating it, so we covered them,” Tapper said defensively.
“You took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as if they were the gospel truth. You did it again and again,” Vance shot back.
“A viewer of your network would’ve believed that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin conspired in 2016. Now that was totally and preposterously false,” the veep hopeful said.

Vance’s success rate in batting down misinformation during heated exchanges with far-left news anchors has made him popular in the meme community.
