The interview highlighted Vance&#8217;s criticism\u200d of the vetting process for \u2064Afghan refugees, countering Brennan&#8217;s \u200ddefence of it\u200b by referencing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-justice-breyer-warns-against-democrats-packing-supreme-court-people-will-lose-trust-in-the-court\/\" title=\"Liberal Justice Breyer Warns Against Democrats Packing Supreme Court: \u2018People Will Lose Trust In The Court\u2019\">recent case involving<\/a> a suspected terrorist. Vance&#8217;s assertive response was\u2062 embraced by\u2064 the \u2062MAGA movement, signaling a growing \u200dfrustration among \u200dconservatives toward what they perceive \u2064as elitist media narratives.\u2063 The phrase has since inspired memes and merchandise, reflecting its \u200dresonance within\u200d the political landscape.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_5)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_6)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump and his top surrogates must regard the establishment media as little more than a collection of dupes.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, what could explain their continued willingness to sit down for interviews with hostile propagandists like CBS News&rsquo; Margaret Brennan?<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in an interview with Brennan Sunday on CBS&rsquo; &ldquo;Face the Nation,&rdquo; Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-jd-vance-steamrolls-cbs-margaret-brennan-says-america-country-founded-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J.D.

This perspective raises questions about their ongoing readiness to engage in interviews with adversarial figures like CBS News&#8217; Margaret Brennan. For example, during a recent interview on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a succinct and humorously dismissive five-word response that quickly gained traction on social media, thanks to savvy Trump supporters: &#8220;I don\u2019t really care, Margaret.&#8221; Vance expressed his disinterest in allowing certain individuals into the country, asserting that most Americans share his sentiment. This phrase rapidly became popular among Trump&#8217;s MAGA followers as a new rallying cry.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan had previously embarrassed herself during an October vice-presidential debate by attempting to undermine Vance while supporting Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. In her latest interview with him, she pressed him about 30,000 Afghan refugees she claimed were &#8220;properly vetted.&#8221; When Vance pointed out that an Afghan refugee was recently suspected of plotting terrorism\u2014indicating flaws in the vetting process\u2014Brennan continued to prioritize refugees over American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Vance&#8217;s retort\u2014&#8221;I don\u2019t really care, Margaret&#8221;\u2014added to his growing reputation within MAGA circles. Supporters quickly turned this line into a viral sensation and even merchandise emerged featuring it. The enthusiasm for this phrase reflects broader frustrations with establishment journalists who seem disconnected from average Americans\u2019 concerns regarding immigration policies and public safety.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, both Trump and Vance appear to see hostile media figures as unwitting tools that can help galvanize their base while alienating sensible voters who are tired of being lectured by self-righteous journalists advocating for open borders at the expense of American citizens\u2019 safety<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2395669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Vance-v-Brennan-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[49278,32082,37217],"class_list":["post-2395668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cbs-interview","tag-jd-vance","tag-viral-moment"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Vance-v-Brennan-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2395668"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2395672,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395668\/revisions\/2395672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2395669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2395668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2395668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2395668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
