"Focused on nitpicking": Vance stews over another fact-check
SalonJD Vance really doesn't like being fact-checked. Vance started off the interview with a favorite canard of the Donald Trump campaign in recent weeks: that the federal response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton was delayed because affected areas reliably vote for Republicans. "Senator Vance, I’m just going to say that local officials — local officials and FEMA officials say that is just flat wrong," host Martha Raddatz chimed in, before moving on to rumors spread by the Trump campaign about the town of Aurora, Colorado. When Raddatz said the stories were "grossly exaggerated" and cited the town's own mayor, Vance countered that the word "exaggerated" means "there's got to be some element of truth here." Raddatz attempted to check Vance and keep him from sharing further falsehoods, which led Vance to rage that she was "focused on nitpicking everything."
