00:00J.D. Vance interrupted by George Stephanopoulos as ABC cuts to commercial break during tense
00:06interview with Vice President. Things got heated between Vice President J.D. Vance and
00:11ABC's George Stephanopoulos as the pair clashed on live television during the Republican
00:16politician's appearance on This Week on Sunday, October 12. Vance's interview ended with
00:22Stephanopoulos abruptly cutting to a commercial break after the ABC News anchor pressed the
00:27Vice President about recent controversy surrounding Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan, who is
00:32allegedly part of an FBI sting operation in which he accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover agents.
00:40Homan previously denied the accusations, telling News Nation,
00:43I did nothing criminal. I did nothing illegal. Vance immediately grew frustrated,
00:48accusing Stephanopoulos of asking a politically motivated question.
00:52And here's George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing
00:56credibility, Vance claimed. Vance used the opportunity to criticize Democrats, alleging,
01:02meanwhile, low-income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the
01:07government. Bothered by Stephanopoulos' question, Vance ordered him to focus on the real issues
01:13rather than a bogus story about Homan. I think the American people would benefit much more from that
01:18than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole. Where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan
01:24didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing? Vance snubbed. Stephanopoulos defended his questioning,
01:30replying, It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything, Stephanopoulos argued.
01:36I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI
01:42in September 2024. And you did not answer the question. When Vance tried to respond, Stephanopoulos
01:48interrupted with, Thank you for your time this morning, before ending the interview and quickly
01:53cutting to commercial break. After the tense moment aired, Vance continued to blast the anchor on social
01:58media. Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S.
02:04doesn't care about that. He's here to focus on the real story. A fake scandal involving Tom Homan. Vance
02:11ridiculed via X.
