Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio made his Sunday programming debut as the Republican vice presidential nominee this weekend, appearing on a hostile liberal news network to answer questions about his candidacy and slamming both Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
CNN and A.B.C. There were plenty of inspiring moments and damning allegations scattered throughout, but three in particular stood out.
Harris is a “chameleon”
Last month, President Donald Trump said Harris “has always been
Indian traditionShe was just promoting her Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black until a few years ago, when she became black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know if she’s Indian or black.”
With Trump’s criticism in mind, CNN reporter Dana Bash on Sunday confronted Vance about his views on Harris’ fluid identity, asking flatly whether he believed she was in fact black.
Vance used the opportunity to reinforce the basis of his criticism of his running mate.
“I believe Kamala Harris is who she says she is,” Vance responded, “but it’s important to note that President Trump is correct that she’s a chameleon. She pretends to be one persona in front of one audience and another persona in front of another audience.”
Harris was recently mocked for adopting different accents depending on the audience she was addressing.
Highlight She said she had adopted a Southern accent when speaking to crowds in Georgia, but tried to speak in a completely different way in Michigan.
Vance further told Bash:[Harris] “She just speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. It’s all scripted. She doesn’t take public policy positions.”
“I think that’s what President Trump is trying to say: She’s fundamentally a fake,” Vance continued. “She’s different depending on who she’s in front of.”

Responsibility for failure
Harris was selected to replace President-elect Joe Biden, but Vance has essentially been in charge from the start and suggested he should defend the current administration for its various failings.
“Kamala Harris is clearly leading the policy of the Biden-Harris administration.”
“I think it’s pretty simple,” Vance said.
said “We’re fighting against policies that have failed the American people, and we’re fighting for policies that have been real successes for the American people over the last four years of President Trump’s presidency,” Bash said.
Vance argued that while Trump “delivered lower prices, lower inflation, a prosperous and peaceful world and a secure border,” Kamala Harris’ “policies have produced the exact opposite result.”
“When Joe Biden was there, it was easier to make that argument because people associated Joe Biden with the policies, but I think the policies of a Biden-Harris administration are clearly owned by Kamala Harris,” Vance said.
In an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Vance said:
Emphasized Pointing to Harris’ responsibility for the border crisis, he said, “You have to start with the fact that our southern border is wide open because the person in charge of our border control actually instituted a lot of open border policies.”
Between October 2023 and June 2024, approximately 2 million illegal immigrants will be
Stolen from across the southern border Under Harris’ watch, 2.4 million people will cross the border in fiscal year 2023. In the past two years, more than 2.3 million and 1.7 million people, respectively, crossed into the country.
Not only have gangs exploited the Harris Administration’s open border policies, but illegal immigrants have raped and murdered American citizens.

The Democratic Party and its allies in the liberal media
Rewriting History This is an attempt to downplay or deny Harris’ involvement in the current administration’s border policy in an attempt to salvage her public image.
For example, Axios:
Characteristic Harris was tapped by Biden to be his “border czar” in 2021, but tried to strip him of that position last month after the California Democrat ran on Biden’s behalf.
Karl tried to join in on the action on Sunday, but Vance refused.
“[Border czar] “The media called her ‘Mexican Border Patrol,’ and she lived up to that title. She had control over a lot of our border policy at the time when deportations were suspended,” Vance said. “They ended Donald Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy and reinstated capture and release policies. They basically opened up our country, and now we have a huge amount of fentanyl and a lot of people are suffering.”
Defamation allegations
Questions about Waltz’s military history, which seems to be constantly changing, were raised in a CNN interview, particularly with Vance, a Minnesota native.
False claims He “carried weapons of war in times of war.”
“This man is caught on video saying, ‘I had a gun in a war,’ and he never went to a war,” Vance said. “This man is caught on video nodding in agreement as other people say, ‘He’s an Afghanistan veteran, he’s a war veteran,’ instead of saying, ‘No, no, no. I served my country, I did it with honor, but I never went to a battlefield.'”
Bash asked Vance about the Harris campaign’s recent
suggestion Waltz simply “misspoke.”
“Did he ‘misstate’? In other words, he ‘lied’. And he didn’t correct the record for 15 years until he came under political pressure because I pointed it out.”
Responded “Whether you call it a slip of the tongue or a lie, I think Tim Walz should correct the record,” Vance said.
Vance wasn’t the only military veteran to sharply criticize the way Walz’s biography was presented.
A former battalion commander of Gov. Walz’s National Guard unit recently slammed the Democratic governor in a Facebook post.
John Kolb, who became lieutenant colonel of the Minnesota unit after Waltz surrendered, claimed that Waltz “broke his enlistment contract,” “did not complete Sergeant Major Academy,” and “did not perform any of the duties of a sergeant major.”
Reported New York Post.
Kolb noted there was a silver lining to Walz’s retirement: “He’s made way for better leadership,” he said.
