The ABC News mainstay sparred with the vice president over claims Border Czar Tom Homan accepted bribes to lobby for government contracts.
One of Donald Trump’s most loathed nemesis in the media abruptly cut off JD Vance during a live interview Sunday morning.
ABC News host George Stephanopoulos was speaking with the vice president about bribery allegations against the MAGA administration’s Border Czar Tom Homan when the host interrupted Vance mid-sentence to announce the network would be cutting to commercial.
“I think the American people would benefit much more from [talking about the shutdown] than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn’t engage in any criminal wrongdoing,” Vance told Stephanopoulos on This Week.
The host shot back that their interview was by that point already almost over. “It’s not a weird left-wing rabbit hole! I didn’t insinuate anything, I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question,” he said. “Thank you for your time this morning.”
“No, George, I said…” Vance attempted to counter, before Stephanopoulos told viewers, “We’ll be right back.”
The incident is unlikely to sit well with the Trump administration. Last March, the MAGA leader sued Stephanopoulos and ABC News after the host claimed on-air that “judges and two separate juries have found [Trump] liable for rape.”
His comments pertain to a sexual assault and defamation lawsuit brought against Trump by journalist E. Jean Carroll. A jury found Trump civilly liable for sexual abuse, but not rape per the technical definition of the term under New York law.

Some slime just can’t handle hearing the truth.
I remember the day CLinton was sworn in, Steponallofus was see in the back of the auditorium telling a friend ‘this is the happiest day of my life’ Soooooo pathetic.
Pull there FCC licenses and treat ABC to a taste of going dark for several days. Sort of like a time out session.
I’d go so far as to pull the plug as of the airing of Stephy’s next show.
They should review their FCC licensing as well.
Some violations might be discovered.
😱
**4’ 10**
Vance had just enough time to all him sawed-off intellectual.
The little punk shouldn’t have a TV show in the first place.
A jury found Trump civilly liable for sexual abuse,
= = =
Is that anything like Jesus saying:
Matt 5:28
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
That’s fine, just bank ABC from all federal property.
*ban
If the rats at The Daily Beast admit is was rude and unprofessional you know it was bad.
Is it customary for the FBI to setup loyal Americans?? Flynn is another example.
“I think the American people would benefit much more from [talking about the shutdown] than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn’t engage in any criminal wrongdoing,”
I would have preferred a response that laid out the facts that clearly show that TH didn’t engage in any criminal wrongdoing rather than launching into a filibuster on different, though important, other subject.
Just a little 2 bit scum media punk.
Still a doofus, apparently, lol.
You Georgie needs to be removed... PERMANENTLY!!
Stephy looks like a menacing little dweeb.
😁
A real” gotcha” moment.
But it was Georgie who was got, as it only revealed George’s true scumbag nature. And that of his LEGION DNC propaganda network.
For all the world to see.
😂
That sounds like a reasonable plan to me. I don’t watch ABC anyway, if truth be known.
No more WH access for him.
