New Jersey State Police celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at West Trenton headquarters

Somebody call 911, because J.D. Vance just verbally knocked out biased CNN anchor Dana Bash on live television.

During his recent interview with Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union, JD Vance, vice-presidential candidate, firmly pushed back against her interruptions and challenging tone. He directly called out Bash, asking whether she planned to debate him or let him answer her questions, highlighting the stark contrast in tone compared to her interview with Kamala Harris. Vance pointed out how Bash treated Harris and Tim Walz more leniently, offering them multiple-choice-style questions and allowing them to answer freely. Vance demanded equal treatment and asked for a more respectful dialogue.

JD Vance puts Dana Bash in her place.

Bash, who interviewed Kamala Harris, took a different tone and approach with Vice presidential candidate JD Vance. She consistently interrupted and tried to fact-check and correct him while he was speaking, and Vance put an immediate stop to her offensive and aggressive approach.

“Dana, would you like to ask me questions and then let me answer them? Or would you like to debate me on these topics? I noticed that when you had Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that you asked, and you allowed them to answer the questions,” Vance said. “I’m happy to be here to talk about policy, but if you’re going to interrupt me every single time that I open my mouth, then why am I even doing this? So please ask a question, and I’d ask you to be polite enough to let me.”

The tension escalated as Vance also addressed media portrayals and Bash’s attempts to fact-check him mid-discussion. At one point, when Bash defended Tim Walz’s misstatement about his service in Afghanistan by saying it had been corrected, Vance stood his ground, challenging the accuracy of media narratives regarding both Walz and Donald Trump​.

This showdown made waves online, with many pointing out the differences in interview styles Bash adopted for different political figures. It stirred conversations about media bias, especially in the 2024 election season.
