JD Vance Decimates Margaret Brennan On The Reality Of Inflation, Executive Orders…Energy…Economics…

Posted • January 26, 2025: Throughout the post-convention presidential election campaign, Vice President JD Vance calmly and routinely dismantled left-wing media hosts who were in over their biased heads. Call it fighting a battle of wits with no ammunition, leaning into a left-wing hook, or whatever; one thing is abundantly clear: Vance is way too smart for narrative-driven, left-wing media types to mess with. Vance did it again on Sunday morning, laying bare CBS "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan's lack of fundamental understanding of executive orders, energy inputs, food prices, economics in general, and more. It was a beautiful sight to behold — unless you're a Democrat, of course. Brennan kicked off the festivities by trotting out a thinly-veiled attack against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was confirmed on Friday night when Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Hegseth was sworn into office on Saturday morning.

“So, both defense secretaries from President Trump's last term were confirmed overwhelmingly, 90 percent of the vote. Pete Hegseth, it was a tie, bipartisan opposition, smallest margin since the job was created. You had to break that tie. If the nominee can't unite your party, how is he going to lead three million people?” -- Nice try with that assumption close, Margaret. I'm unaware that Hegseth is incapable of uniting the Republican Party, and I find it amusing that Brennan, based solely on the nay votes of squishy Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY). Memo to JD: The will of the American people is far less important to the left than their narratives. Brennan continued to dig her hole deeper. “So, the main objective is changing all of that? That it's going to be Pete Hegseth alone?” -- No presidential cabinet secretary does his or her job "alone," just as no president does his job alone.

Brennan threw in the towel on that one, choosing instead to move forward with bashing former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick as the next Director of National Intelligence, the president's executive orders in general, food prices — as if they were Trump's fault — and other concocted nonsense, including the price of bacon. This exchange was over before it began. The longer the interview went, the clearer it became that Brennan and CBS were in over their heads. (…)
