In a hilarious rebuke of his interviewer during the Sunday, September 15 broadcast of CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senator and Trump 2024 running mate JD Vance sounded off on CNN’s Dana Bash and asked whether she would like to debate him rather than pretend to ask him questions but then not let him answer them.
The context of Sen. Vance’s rebuke of Bash, who also interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris in what many on the right claimed was quite the softball interview, was that Bash was pressing Sen. Vance about the situation in Springfield, Ohio. As a reminder, Springfield has seen a massive influx of Haitians under the Biden-Harris Administration, something that has led to a national outcry.
Indeed, former President Donald Trump brought up the situation in the September 10 presidential debate, commenting on accusations that pets in the town have gone missing due to the Haitians. He said, “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country. And it’s a shame.”
Bash, attacking Vance and others on the right who have raised alarms about the situation in Springfield, said, “Also, other evidence that you have talked about, even you’ve retweeted alleged evidence, are unsourced social media videos from a different city, apparently no connection to Haitians.”
Continuing, she suggested that warning about the consequences of mass migration is causing bomb threats in Springfield, saying, “So 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 in helping to better integrate them into the community?”
Scorching Bash over the implications of what she said, Vance snapped, “Dana, first of all, let me just respond to a couple of things that you said, but I wanna 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.”
