JD Vance’s decision to grant his first sit-down interview as vice president to a prominent liberal news outlet has sparked outrage among conservatives, who accuse him of undermining President Donald Trump’s legacy. As Vice President Vance navigates the complex landscape of American politics, his choice of interview platform is being closely watched by those on both sides of the aisle.
Conservative Backlash Over JD Vance‘s First Move as Vice President
JD Vance’s decision to grant his first sit-down interview as vice president to Margaret Brennan, the moderator of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” has sparked a heated reaction from conservatives on social media.
The announcement of the news by CBS News political reporter Olivia Rinaldi on X, formerly Twitter, prompted a series of scathing replies from those on the right. Critics accused Brennan and CBS of being “fake news” and claimed they had sought to undermine President Donald Trump‘s successful 2024 bid for the White House.
Conservative Frustration Over Interview Placement
Many conservatives argued that Vance’s first interview should have taken place with a conservative publication, rather than a major network like CBS. However, others predicted that Vance would fare well in the interview, given his previous interactions with Brennan during the vice presidential debate and an earlier televised sit-down.
Predictions of a Smooth Interview
Some on social media noted that Vance had already clashed with Brennan, but they believed he would still perform well in the interview. This sentiment suggests that Vance’s experience in debating and communicating with critics could serve him well in this new role as vice president.
