Vice President JD Vance pulled no punches on Wednesday in replying to a jab from Pod Save America host Jon Favreau – a former aide to President Barack Obama.
The back and forth began when Vance reacted to news of a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas by posting, “The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”
Favreau replied to Vance, writing, “The Vice President is not a reliable source of information. This is now the fifth or sixth time he’s posted a political take contradicted by facts from his own law enforcement agencies.”
Favreau’s post included a suggested community note, citing an NBC News report, regarding Vance’s comments that read, “According to an ICE spokesperson, the three individuals shot were ICE detainees, leaving two individuals dead and one injured. No law enforcement were injured in this shooting, according to law enforcement and news reports out of Dallas, Texas.”
Vance replied to Favreau, writing, “The gunman had anti-ICE messaging carved on the bullets he used. What, precisely, did I get wrong, dipsh*t?”
Favreau replied, “I think the suggested context in the community note says it all, Mr. Vice President. Not sure why it’s so difficult to give people the full story: detainees were murdered by a sniper, and “anti-ICE” was found on a bullet.” The podcaster continued:
This seems to happen quite a bit with you:
1) “It is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left.” Not a statistical fact, not even what the single online poll you cited says.
2) You threatened George Soros’ Open Society Foundation based on a lie that they funded a Nation article you didn’t like. They did no such thing.
3) You got another community note after accusing the Wall Street Journal of fabricating the existence of Trump’s birthday note to Epstein…because Congress obtained the letter.
4) You accused me of not reading a court document that you cited as proof that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “convicted MS-13 gang member.” He is not, the document didn’t say that, and your tweet ended up as evidence in a trial the government lost.
I could go on, but you get the point. Have a blessed day.
