In an absolutely hilarious incident involving a massive crowd and a ridiculous reporter, Senator and 2024 Trump running mate JD Vance was asked about his debate prep and the Trump campaign’s endorsements and he, in response, roasted the woke reporter. The pro-Trump internet went wild over the hilarious clip.
The incident began with the reporter asking, “Does the Trump campaign still endorse Mark Robinson?” Then, before Sen. Vance could answer, the reporter jumped in with another question and asked, “And I’d like to ask you about reports, about a second question, about your debate prep, it’s reported today that-” Vance, cutting the reporter off with a small insult that made the crowd go wild, said, “Go ahead, kid, go ahead.” Vance, funnily, repeated the comment as the reporter kept stumbling.
The crowd roared with laughter as the reporter continued on regardless, saying, “Second question is about your debate prep. It’s reported that you are enlisting the help of Tom Emmer to sit in for for Tim Walz. Can you talk about that choice and how you’re preparing for the debate?”
Sen. Vance, in response, first focused on the part of the question about Emmer and said, “Yeah. Well, look, Tom, Tom Emmer is a great representative from the state of Minnesota. He has not helped us out yet, but I think that we are going to try to call on him in the next couple of weeks, as we really start to, you know, think about how to how to make our best case during this debate.”
Then, continuing, he addressed the question about Mark Robinson, saying, “But look on the Mark Robinson question, Kate, you’ve heard me answer it now two times I’ve been asked, I think, five questions now.” He continued, “Three, of those questions have been about what Mark Robinson did or did not say 20 years ago on a message board, as I’ve said, that is Mark Robinson’s case to make to the people of North Carolina.”
He then said he would leave Robinson’s campaign to Robinson, saying, “I’m not going to make it for him and the people of North Carolina, they get to be the judges of whether they believe him or not. It’s really that simple now, but I really cannot believe that the American media is so much more focused on this than on the struggles of their fellow citizens.”
Next, roasting the media itself, he said, “What happened to speaking truth to power? What happened to investigating the truth? If the American media wants to focus on a sex scandal, there are plenty of supermarket tabloids that are welcome. That would be that would love to have you. Let’s focus on the real issues that affect North Carolina, and it’s look.”
Concluding, he said, “Final point I’ll make on this look, people have found somebody just mind me said Bill Clinton. That’s a good point. Bill Bill Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention. How many questions have been asked about his very interesting history? But what I’m focused on is not Bill Clinton or Mark Robinson’s story, but how to make the lives of the people of this state better. ”
Watch him here:
Predictably, the conservative internet absolutely loved that response. One poster on X (formerly Twitter), for example, wrote that Sen. Vance has such an epic response that the debate between him and Walz will be quite fun to watch: “JD Vance absolutely destroys this leftist reporter. I’m very much looking forward to the VP Debate.”
Similarly, another wrote, “JD Vance handles the media like no other Republican. It’s like taking Trump’s honesty and policy and mixing it with Obama’s eloquence. I didn’t understand why the medium went after JD van so hard and why they gave him such a demeaning insults, like weird. But now I get it, he is so extremely powerful that they had to come up with an insult that would knock him down to size in their twisted mind.”
Still another commenter said that JD has made himself more welcome as a candidate with the way he “manhandles” the media, saying, “I wasn’t initially “Sold” on JD when he was selected…but I’ve been converted to a TRUE believer based on how quick on his feet he is and how he simply manhandles the media every time they’re on their BS. A true patriot and a VERY effective communicator.”
