Vance (R-Ohio) spoke on behalf of host Margaret Brennan, saying he felt he was unfairly “fact-checked” by host Margaret Brennan when he spoke about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
“Look, in Springfield, Ohio, and in communities across this country, we have schools that are overwhelmed. We have hospitals that are overwhelmed. We have millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans. They're getting housing that's completely unaffordable because they brought them here,” the Republican vice presidential candidate said in response to a question about immigration.
“My biggest concern in Springfield, Ohio, is the American people whose lives have been destroyed by Kamala Harris' open borders,” he added.
Brennan then responded to viewers by saying, “We do have a large population of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, with legal status or temporary protected status.”
After her statement, she began to move on to the next topic, but was stopped by Vance.
“Since you're fact-checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on,” Vance retorted. “There’s an application called the CBP One app that allows people to ride the wave of Kamala Harris’ open border crutch and apply for asylum or parole and be granted legal status.
“It's not someone who applies for a green card and waits 10 years,” he added.
“Thank you, Senator, for explaining the legal process,” Brennan said, trying to get things moving.
Before she could proceed, Walz (D-Minn.) joined the conversation.
“These laws have been in place since 1990,” Walz said.
“That CBP One app hasn’t been on the books since 1990…” Vance retorted.
Both microphones were muted, even though we both tried to keep talking.
“Ladies and gentlemen, your microphones are off so the audience can't hear you,” Brennan told the candidates. “We have a lot of things we want to accomplish. Thank you for explaining the legal process.”
