Vice President JD Vance rebuked ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos for discussing a “fake scandal” in their interview on Sunday, with the drama focused on border czar Tom Homan. 

Vance rebuffed Stephanopoulos for asking about a “bogus” report that Homan accepted $50,000 from former President Joe Biden’s FBI, saying there is “no evidence” the border czar took a bribe and that the media’s focus on it was contributing to the public’s media distrust. Stephanopoulos denied he was going down a “weird left-wing rabbit hole” and ended his interview after concluding Vance did not answer his question on whether the money had actually been accepted.
