“I Really Don’t Care, Margaret”: JD Vance Crushes CBS’s Margaret Brennan

Vice President JD Vance absolutely embarrassed CBS News’s Margaret Brennan during an interview where she attempted to press him on immigration, national security, and economic issues,
A masterclass.

Post Millennial: Vice President JD Vance sat down for his first interview since taking office, where he defended various Trump policies, including immigration crackdowns, to CBS’s antagonistic journalist Margaret Brennan. On immigration, Vance challenged Brennan’s statement that immigrants entering the United States are “properly vetted,” specifically referring to Afghan refugees who will no longer be allowed to enter the US as refugees (Post Millennial).

Collin Rugg: Vance: We absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. Brennan: These people are vetted. Vance: Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago? He was allegedly properly vetted (X).

NEW: JD Vance continuously shuts down CBS News’ Margaret Brennan after she kept arguing in favor of illegal immigration.

I could watch this all day.

Vance: We absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country.

Brennan: These people are vetted.

The real name of the anti-Trump husband of CBS debate moderator Margaret Brennan is Ali Iyad Yakub, a Muslim born to Syrian parents who wrote a 2005 paper for Miami University titled “The Islamic Roots of Democracy,” arguing Sharia law embodies “justice and tolerance.”

Western Journal: President Donald Trump and his top surrogates must regard the establishment media as little more than a collection of dupes.

Otherwise, what could explain their continued willingness to sit down for interviews with hostile propagandists like CBS News’ Margaret Brennan?

For instance, in an interview with Brennan Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a five-word response so masterfully and hilariously dismissive of the smug journalist that it took on a life of its own as it went viral on the social media platform X — thanks to clever Trump supporters.

“I don’t really care, Margaret,” Vance said. “I don’t want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.”

Just like that, “I don’t really care, Margaret” became an instant classic, a new rallying cry for Trump’s MAGA movement.

Brennan, of course, deserved everything she got from the vice president and then some.

After all, the establishment propagandist had already shamed herself during October’s vice-presidential debate when, as co-moderator, she teamed up with fellow CBS hatchet woman Norah O’Donnell in a futile effort to undermine Vance and thereby prop up Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, then-Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ creepy and clownish running mate.

On Sunday, Brennan returned to her old tricks. For instance, she repeatedly pressed Vance on the status of 30,000 refugees from Afghanistan whom she described as “properly vetted.”

When Vance replied that an Afghan refugee recently suspected of plotting a terrorist attack proved that the United States has serious problems with its vetting system, Brennan, true to form, chose the refugees over U.S. citizens.

“He was allegedly properly vetted,” Vance said of the suspected terrorist, “and many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly he wasn’t. I don’t want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted, and because I don’t want it for my kids, I’m not gonna force any other American citizen’s kids to do that either.”

“No,” Brennan replied. “And that was a very particular case. It wasn’t clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.”
