Dana Bash of CNN was accused by JD Vance of providing "multiple choice answers" during a contentious clash with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

On Sunday, Dana Bash and JD Vance had a heated exchange during an interview on CNN. Vance accused Bash of allowing Gov. Tim Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris to give "multiple choice answers" during their interview with her in August, and also claimed that Bash let the vice president "coast."

"Would you like to ask me questions and have me answer them, or would you like to debate me on these topics, Vance asked, after repeatedly insisting his constituents in Springfield, Ohio, were the ones who said migrants were "eating the pets.""

During the ABC News debate on Tuesday, the interview centered on the assertion that Haitian migrants consume cats and dogs. This claim was also emphasized by Donald Trump, despite Ohio officials stating that there were no reliable sources supporting this allegation.

Vance stated that he observed that when Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were present, they were given multiple choice answers to the questions asked, and were allowed to respond. He expressed his happiness to be discussing policy, but if he was going to be interrupted every time he spoke, then he wondered why he was participating in the conversation.

If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were making unsubstantiated claims with racist undertones about people eating dogs and cats, I would have similar interactions with them. I am grateful for your presence on the show, as I am for other Republicans. However, this is a concern that constituents are raising. I have done extensive reporting and spoken to people in Ohio over the weekend, and they are deeply worried about these claims.

She agreed with the concern that there are too many migrants and their integration is not happening fast enough and well enough, which is a legitimate discussion.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 20,000 Haitians have arrived in Springfield, a town of 58,000 people, resulting in an increase in crime, mayhem, and car crashes, according to city officials.

Vance was again pressed by Bash on their assertion that the media did not begin reporting on the impact of migrants on Springfield until Trump and he brought it up.

Vance stated that he relies on the firsthand accounts of his constituents to confirm that certain events occurred. He has been trying to address issues in Springfield for months, but the American media has ignored him. Last week, there was a congressional hearing featuring Angel Moms who lost their children due to Kamala Harris's policy of allowing criminal migrants into the country. The American media ignored this hearing until Donald Trump and Vance started discussing cat memes. If necessary, Vance is willing to create stories to get the American media to pay attention to the struggles of the American people. He believes that Kamala Harris is coasting and not taking the necessary steps to address the issues facing the country.

Bash was accused by him of not opposing Harris's decision to cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which he claimed was the reason many Americans cannot afford food and housing.

Bash was questioned about the accuracy of the story he created.

Vance shot back and argued the claim came from his constituents.

Vance stated that they were creating a story, which refers to the American media's focus on it. He clarified that he did not cause the 20,000 illegal migrants entering Springfield due to Kamala Harris' policies. However, he acknowledged that they played a role in highlighting the issue and the suffering caused by Harris' policies.
