During a recent campaign event in Michigan, a local reporter was booed by the crowd of Trump supporters when asking JD Vance a question. During recent rallies hosted by the Trump-Vance campaign, supporters have continually booed reporters, demonstrating a frustration with the media, which has ramped up its hostile rhetoric against former President Donald Trump and JD Vance.
The reporter announced himself as a representative of a local newspaper, stating, “Senator Vance. This is Peter Cobbs from the Traverse City Record-Eagle, our hometown newspaper,” after which he was immediately met with boos from the crowd. “Yay and Boo,” the reporter said, acknowledging the unwelcoming response. “That’s okay. We’re used to it,” he added.
Vance said, “We’re having fun. You’re allowed to ask your question. They’re allowed to tell you how they think about it, right? So this America.” The local reporter then asked Vance about the dire shortage of affordable housing that is plaguing the nation, where the American dream of home ownership is unattainable for many.
