GOP veep pick JD Vance on Sunday went head to head with CNN host Jake Tapper over former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the fact that some former top aides have called him a “fascist.”
“State of the Union’s” Tapper came out of the gate grilling Vance on Trump’s remarks about an “enemy from within” and retired Gen. John Kelly’s suggestion that his onetime boss fits “into the general definition of fascist.”
Vance, 40, in turn belittled Trump turncoats such as Kelly and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as warmongers, which led to Tapper, 55, to drill down on the 45th president’s rhetoric about targeting election officials who cheat.

Vance was a home-run pick for Trump.
We cannot spare this man. He fights.
Just like Trump.
He has a much better wig than Frank Luntz. You have to give him that
It is sad to observe the lack of intelligence and integrity of our media “talent”.
It is not sad to observe that only a third of the country respects that “talent”.
When it comes to our media, we’re not talkin’ the cream of the crop.
Don Jr. brought him to President Trump’s attention. Known each other for a long time.
This gets more bizarre by the minute.
This was hostile interrogation, and JD Vance remained cool and in control.
Tapper fraudulently conflated two different Trump quotes to claim that Trump intends to weaponize government. JD Vance knew both quotes and explained that they were from different events regarding different facts. Vance parsed it out perfectly.
I wish Vance had mentioned that it is the other side who has weaponized government.
Vance should have offered Tapper a cigarette after handing him like that.
WHO HAS A BETTER WIG??
I wondered why Trump picked Vance. I get it now.
I have a dream where, in four years, a veteran enlisted Marine is promoted to Commander in Chief. Nobody hates war more than those who have seen it up close. If a war did come while he is in command I want to believe he would prosecute it in a way that would make it as short as possible.
Tapper is tapped-out
Same. I'm rarely wrong but I was wrong about JDV. His book is tripe, edited to please Manhattanite schnorrer publishers, and then he played the imbecile at times during his Senate campaign and even during the VP beauty pageant. Still believe Youngkin was the better pick given Trump would have flipped VA with Youngkin and ended Election Night early, but JDV has a talent for f---ing up the media talking heads good and hard. Who knew.
Here's hoping JDV sends Snapper some flowers and a carton of smokes.
Tapper knows better and he's being a bully. Vance should tell Tapper to ask Trump questions about Trump and to ask him questions about policy. Unless Vance is a mind reader and owns a working crystal ball he needs to reject these 'gotcha' type stupid questions from CNN's chief propagandist.
Bigly...
Does Tapper live out in the Hamptons next to George Stefanopolous? Or not yet?
Maybe just cut from the same cloth...
Link to a clip?
That can’t be said, but they can call us fascist and threats to democracy. Okay.
