   'He's a coward': Onlookers ridicule 'cranky' JD Vance after wild ABC   
   interview   
      
      
   Vice President JD Vance was hit with extensive mockery on Sunday after his   
   interview with ABC.   
      
   Vance over the weekend lashed out at ABC's George Stephanopoulos after the   
   host pulled the plug on an interview.   
      
   Vance spoke with Stephanopoulos on ABC, and the host asked questions about   
   reports that "Border Czar" Tom Homan had accepted a $50,000 bribe as part of   
   an operation by the FBI years ago. Instead of answering the direct question   
   on whether Homan had accepted the money, Vance pivoted to talk about the   
   shutdown, on which he blamed Democrats, and the interview was abruptly ended.

   Similarly, Vance avoided answering a question about whether a Democratic   
   governor should be imprisoned, as the president recently said.   
      
   Ex-GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh said Vance "is a coward. "   
      
   "He sold his soul for a seat of power. He sold his soul to someone he called   
   'Hitler' to advance his own career, " Walsh wrote. "JD Vance is everything   
   that's wrong with our politics today. "   
      
   Democratic influencer TheFrenchie chimed in: "He sold his soul. He has no   
   honor or integrity. He will go down as the worst Vice President in America   
   history. Do you agree? "   
      
   Analyst Tom Nichols said, "I'd write about Vance displacing Cruz as the   
   person most deserving of the adjective 'oleaginous', but I'd just end up   
   saying the same thing I said about him here, " linking to his own article.   
      
   Politico columnist Jonathan Martin said, "You can see why Vance so cranky   
   about this interview: Vance knows Trump is watching, doesn't wanna get   
   crosswise w him, but also doesn't wanna come out and say a sitting governor   
   should be imprisoned. "   
      
   "So this tap dance.... But tis what ya sign up for, " Martin wrote on X.
