Vance appeared on fox News\u2019 \u201cGutfeld!\u201d and shared a surprising compliment he received from Joy Behar during his earlier appearance on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View,\u201d where she told him he was \u201cpretty good for a Republican.\u201d Vance described his experiance on \u201cThe View\u201d as more amicable than anticipated,despite expecting hostility and even race-baiting,which he noted was milder than expected. He humorously mentioned that Whoopi Goldberg called him a racist, contradicting his expectations of Sunny Hostin doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has been defending President Donald Trump\u2019s Iran peace deal amid skepticism from other Republicans and discussed his political stance in interviews. On \u201cThe View,\u201d he promoted his new book, \u201cCommunion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,\u201d and engaged in discussions about immigration, with co-hosts criticizing the Trump administration\u2019s policies through the lens of their Christian faith. For example, Sarah Haines expressed difficulty explaining certain immigration policies to children, and Ana Navarro urged Vance to examine detention conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Vance also acknowledged that he previously opposed Trump but now supports him, stating that he recognizes Trump\u2019s successes and has adjusted his views. During his \u201cThe View\u201d appearance, he was greeted with applause and humorously remarked on his height.

It wasn\u2019t as bad as I thought it was going to be,\u201d the vice president said.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Vance fully expected some race-baiting, though even that came with a mild surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that Sunny [Hostin], the woman to my left, was going to call me a racist. In reality, it was Whoopi [Goldberg], the woman to my right, who called me a racist.
