Putin Pressure? JD Vance Enjoys Regular Trouncing of Kristen Welker’s Dem Talking Points – Twitchy

Vice President JD Vance continues his unbroken streak of demolishing Kristen Welker on NBC News’ Meet the Press. Welker got herself worked up, and Vance assertively dispatched her partisan-inspired rantings as usual. She’s a glutton for punishment, among other things.

Holy CRAP: Kristen Welker is embarrassing herself. She’s accusing President Trump of not putting any pressure on Putin. Does she live on the same planet as we do?

JD VANCE RESPONDS: “The President has applied more economic pressure to the Russians to stop this war than Biden did in three years! […] This is how negotiation works.”

Here’s the full exchange. (WATCH)

The question was propaganda, and JD wasn’t having it.

Love JD!

It’s pretty amazing how easily he dismisses Welker and her fellow Democrat, Margaret Brennan, over at CBS News.

Commenters surmised why Welker is so bad at genuine journalism.

She’s not a reporter, she’s a activist.. idk why anyone in the Trump admin give these people the time of day

She is a democrat activist.

We think Vance enjoys doing the Sunday show rounds. You can tell he’s having a blast.

You know Vance gets a thrill out of getting a rise out of Welker and her ‘journalistic’ ilk.

Kristen Welker is so agitated she’s almost screaming .

Always so angry and she is growing out of her pink pantsuit.

must see TV BEAT the press

Beat the Press? We like that! It’s both hilarious and true whenever Vance makes an appearance. Now, if we could only get him to call the show that, it would be pure comedic gold.

Editor’s Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
