Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and CNN anchor Jake Tapper did not pull their punches during an interview that centered around recent criticisms of former President Donald Trump, with Tapper at one point laughing at Vance’s answer.

The interview comes as former Trump administration officials are sounding the alarm over Trump’s alleged authoritarian tendencies and while Trump himself continues to create controversy with increasingly inflammatory rhetoric while campaigning. Vance spent most of the interview on CNN’s State of the Union was spent disagreeing with Tapper.
