J.D. Vance Tears Into NBC’s Kristen Welker In Tense Interview

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance tore into NBC News host Kristen Welker for constantly trying to bait him with “gotcha” questions during a tense segment.

During an interview on NBC, Welker repeatedly asked Vance if he agreed with Trump’s suggestions that his Department of Justice could use a special investigator to “go after” President Joe Biden. Vance said he was not opposed to the idea.

“Senator, if former President Trump were to win, would you support him appointing a special prosecutor to go after his political enemies, the Bidens?” Welker asked.
“Well, first of all, Chris said, I find it interesting how much the media and the Democrats have lost their minds over this particular quote. Donald Trump is talking about appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden for wrongdoing. Joe Biden has done exactly that for the last few years and has done far more, in addition to that, to engage in a campaign of lawfare against his political opposition. I think what Donald Trump is simply saying is we ought to investigate the prior administration,” Vance began.

“There are obviously many instances of wrongdoing. The House Oversight Committee has identified a number of corrupt business transactions that may or may not be criminal. Of course, you have to investigate to find out. So I think Donald Trump saying, look, let’s do the basic work of investigating wrongdoing, is a totally reasonable thing for him to do. And frankly, the Biden administration has done far worse. So if you think that what Donald Trump is proposing is a threat to democracy, isn’t what Biden has already done a massive threat to our system of law and government?” Vance added.

“Senator, just to be very clear, though, Joe Biden didn’t appoint a special prosecutor, the attorney general did that. Trump was indicted by grand juries. A jury of his peers in New York found him to be guilty. But can we just go back to the core question here? Would you support him taking such an action? It sounds like you’re saying, yes, you would,” Welker followed up.

Vance shot back: “I would absolutely support investigating prior wrongdoing by our government. Absolutely. That’s what you have to have in a system of law and order. Kristen. But I have to reject the premise here. Joe Biden appointed the attorney general, Merrick Garland, who, of course, answers to Joe Biden and can be fired by Joe Biden. So the idea that the Biden administration has nothing to do with the appointment of the special prosecutor, I think, completely betrays an understanding, a misunderstanding of how our system of government actually works.”
