The internet erupted on Tuesday after “The View” co-hosts put Vice President JD Vance in the hot seat and dropped tough questions.
Vance was pressed about the Trump administration’s policies by Whoopi Goldberg and called out by Joy Behar over his responses while he tried to promote his new book: “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.”
Media and political experts on social media reacted to Vance’s interaction with the daytime talk show hosts.
“Imagine if reporters asked questions as hard as the hosts of The View,” Emmy-nominated writer and comedian Mike Drucker wrote on X.
“The makeup artist not filling in his eyebrows is masterful work,” Nikki McCann Ramírez, politics reporter at Rolling Stone, wrote on X.
“He doesn’t respect women, so he went in thinking he would be able to manipulate them and boy was he wrong,” progressive political commentator Sarah Ironside wrote on X.
“How do you know this administration is racist? Every single time someone ask them about the quality of life for Black Americans they bring up CRIME STATISTICS (or WAREHOUSE JOBS) as a MEASURE of BLACK SUCCESS in the United States. That’s all we are to them,” Swipa, analyst for Mile High Sports and social media commentator, wrote on X.
“He danced around answering the question because Vance knows there is no way to defend it. SMH,” writer and editor Keith Murphy wrote on X.
“JD Vance has criticized The View for years claiming it’s an out of touch liberal media show with political hacks. But that doesn’t stop him from crawling up on their stage to beg The View’s audience to buy his book,” Canadian liberal political commentator Marlene Robertson wrote on X.
“.@JDVance complains endlessly about The View… until it comes time to make money for his book. Hypocrite,” anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project wrote on X.
“Really disturbing how comfortable he is fabricating information out of thin air,” Julian Andreone, Washington reporter for Drop Site News, wrote on X.
