CBS’s vice presidential debate moderators, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, took heat online for their fact-checking of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and then muting his microphone despite debate rules against such actions.

As the Republican vice presidential candidate, Vance faced off against Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, on the debate stage Tuesday night ahead of the 2024 elections.
