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.

Stephy is a lying rat.
How rude!
Tom Homan should sue that little goblin (again) for defamation of character.
How about:
You cut us off, we cut you off.
1.) No ABC employees allowed at White House press conferences.
2.) No ABC employees on Air Force One.
2.) No Trump administration member interviews with ABC.
Steponallofus is a Clinton hack, but this is a new low.
So is he.🤣
Leftists cannot debate their ideas. Their only options are to shut opponents up or kill them.
Clintons widdle boy Steffy still the brat.
I guess Snufalovagus doesn’t believe Vance has the right to freedom of speech.
George has a short fuse and a heavy grudge.
He beclowned himself.
Sounds fair.
TWA 800.

Perfect response.
Stephanopoulos, that little offspring of miniature poodles, probably saw that Vance was going to make mincemeat out of him and took the coward’s way out by cutting to a commercial. The network pretends he’s a journalist but everyone knows he’s just a Clintonista political hack.
Why doesn’t someone just smack that twerp in the mouth, with prejudice?
A lying rat and a coward.
He’s an idiot. I remember him pointing out celebrities at Obama’s first inauguration and saying, “There’s Morgan Freeman.” Uh, it was Celtics legend Bill Russell, doofus!
I’ll never understand why anyone in the administration agrees to appear on these shows. There can be no possible gain from doing so.
