Conservative Guest’s Oblivious JD Vance Boast Stuns CNN’s Chris Wallace
CNN anchor Chris Wallace at the weekend pushed back on a conservative guest’s bold assertion that Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance has “not had one misstep” during the 2024 presidential election campaign.
Rich Lowry, the editor-in-chief of the conservative National Review, acknowledged Vance had received a “rocky introduction to national life” following his joining of Donald Trump’s ticket with the resurfacing of his controversial “childless cat lady” comments and the fact he’s “not necessarily the most warm and fuzzy campaigner.”
“But he is proven tireless, fearless, really effective spokesman for this ticket,” Lowry continued. “He talks to and interacts with the press every single day, does hostile interviews, and, as far as I can tell, has not had one misstep.”
Wallace felt compelled to step in.
“Wait a minute,” Wallace said in footage that has been shared on YouTube, before referencing controversies that have engulfed Vance in just the last few days alone.
After some back and forth between Wallace and Lowry, which saw Lowry defending Vance’s actions and comments as simply being part of Donald Trump’s campaign, Wallace predicted: “It’s going to be a long two months.”
