COORDINATION? ABC, CBS Ask JD Vance The Same Weird White Supremacy Question

It appears that, as pertains to their interview of Senator JD Vance, some of the Regime Media Sunday hosts were singing from the same hymnal; particularly on a question that was racially loaded and intended to serve multiple purposes.

Watch as ABC’s Jon Karl denounces racial hate directed at Usha Vance by noted antisemite and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, only to turn around and get Vance to react over Fuentes crashing Kanye’s Mar-a-Lago dinner with Trump on ABC This Week:

Followed by Margaret Brennan on CBS's Face the Nation:

With regard to Fuentes, I put “dinner with Trump” in quotes because any time a Regime propagandist mentions this dinner, it is to smear Trump as a white supremacist. It is yet another media lie, easily debunkable with the actual record.

Per Marc Caputo’s contemporaneous account, Fuentes was not a guest invited by Trump to Mar-a-Lago, but a party crasher:

But Trump may have been walking into a trap in Mar-a-Lago’s gilded halls — one that leveraged his own penchant for spectacle and showmanship against him. Ye arrived with three guests, including white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes.

Trump has since said he didn’t know Fuentes or his background when they dined together, a claim Fuentes confirmed in an interview, but others at the crowded members-only club figured out his identity. News of the meeting prompted an avalanche of criticism, from some Republican rivals and allies of Trump and his then-week-old presidential campaign. 

So what is the purpose of Karl and Brennan linking this easily disprovable lie with Fuentes’ attacks against Usha Vance? It is a race betrayal attack by proxy. 

I know this because for the better part of the last decade, I’ve seen Univision’s Jorge Ramos ask Trump-supporting Hispanics how they could support a man who promised to build a wall, or who “called Mexicans rapists and criminals” (another easily disproven hoax). It’s the same thing as what we see the Regime Media try to run on Vance. 

“How can you, who married an Indian woman, be the running mate of someone who said these vile things against your wife” would be too obvious, so they do it in a roundabout way, first by expressing sympathy and then the pivot to the dinner- an attack as stupid as it is obvious. 

Vance brushes these attacks off with aplomb, aware that they are but the beginning. Nonetheless, the question remains, given the framing and verbiage and timing: was there any coordination involved. Not between the networks, of course. But what interested party might want to make sure that Vance got asked that question in that manner?

Given how the rest of the day went for the Regime Media, I don’t blame them for trying.

JON KARL: So there's been a lot of talk about racism and whatnot. You faced some really nasty stuff. I saw this thing that Nick Fuentes -- of course, he's an avowed white supremacist. He said, “what kind of a man marries somebody named Usha? Clearly, he doesn't value his racial identity, his heritage”. I mean, this is racist garbage.

JD VANCE: Yes, it is.

KARL: But this is also a guy that dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago during this campaign.

VANCE: Well, Donald Trump doesn't know anything about him, and frankly doesn't care for. But yeah, look. My attitude to these people attacking my wife is: she's beautiful. She's smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly. And- and my view is, look. If these guys want to attack me or attack my views, my policy views, my personality, come after me, but don't attack my wife. She's out of your league.

KARL: But, I mean- that dinner that Trump had, and of course, it was Kanye West, a guy that's praised Hitler who arranged it all, that was back a year and a half ago, and Trump still hasn't given a full-throated denouncement of this guy who is -- he said that terrible stuff, but he said- I mean, he's a white supremacist.

VANCE: I think he’s- President Trump has issued plenty of condemnations on this. The one thing that I like..

KARL: But not of Fuentes. He hasn't.

VANCE: The one thing I like about Donald Trump, Jon, is that he actually will talk to anybody. But just because you talk to somebody doesn't mean you endorse their views. And look. I mean, Donald Trump spent a lot of quality time with my wife. Every time he sees her, he gives her a hug, tells her she's beautiful and jokes around with her a little bit. I'm not at all worried about Donald Trump. I'm worried sometimes about these ridiculous attacks. But again, this is what you sign up for when you come into politics. I wish people would keep it focused on me, but whatever. They’re going to say what they’re going to say. My wife’s tough enough to handle it, and that’s a good thing.

MARGARET BRENNAN: In your own movement, that's what I want to ask about, because one of the supremacists who was saying things like this about your family.

JD VANCE: Yeah.

BRENNAN: Nick Fuentes, an avowed anti-semite…

VANCE: Sure.

BRENNAN: …went after your wife. He had previously dined at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump. Does this have any room in your movement? In the MAGA movement?

VANCE: Of course it doesn't have any room in the MAGA movement. And of course…

BRENNAN: Do you disavow him and this?

VANCE: And, of course, Donald Trump has criticized this person. Look, I think the guy is a total loser. Certainly I disavow him. But if you ask me what I care more about, is it a person attacking me personally or is it government policy that discriminates based on race? That’s what I really worry about.
