Following an extensive CNN interview with GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, speaking in a personal capacity, took the Ohio Republican to task for a multitude of comments he made to "State of the Union" host Dana Bash before getting personal about Vance's beliefs about his family.

Addressing Vance's remarks that Democrats are anti-family, the Indiana Democrat called out the Ohio senator for not "putting his money where his mouth is."

Using Vance's criticism of "childless cat ladies," which has cast a cloud of his selection as a running mate by Donald Trump, as a jumping-off point, Buttigieg told the CNN host, "Let's be clear, we're the ones trying to get the Child Tax Credit expanded and J.D. Vance couldn't be bothered to show up in the Senate and vote for it and Republicans have blocked that from being expanded or it'd be the law of the land right now."

"So if you want to talk about promoting children, promoting family, put your money where your mouth is," he continued.

Addressing Bash's interview with Vance moments before, he elaborated, "Look, when you asked him and pressed him on whether my family was legitimate, he said yes because I think he felt shamed into it. But let's remember also, the last time I checked, he doesn't even think I should legally be able to have a family."

"Now, if he really got his way in his anti-marriage equality views, I don't know if that means that he would want me and my husband to be forcibly divorced and separated from our children or if he'd be satisfied just to have us lose legal protections like the ability to do our taxes together, visit them in a hospital," he added. "I don't know exactly what his vision of us not having a family looks like, but I know that it's not pro-family for me."

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance refused to say that former President Donald Trump disavowed a white supremacist acquaintance who has reportedly made racist comments about his wife, Usha.

In an interview that aired Sunday on CBS, Vance admitted that right-wing white supremacists had attacked his family because his wife was not white.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance worked to do damage control over the weekend after he suggested that parents should be given more votes than single citizens.

During a Sunday interview with ABC News, host Jonathan Karl said he was putting Vance's "childless cat ladies" remark aside to focus on his proposal to give more votes to parents.

After going on an extended rant claiming Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz lied about his military service "for political gain," Donald Trump running mate J.D. Vance was pressed by CNN's Dana Bash to defend Trump ducking out on military service completely.

In the midst of the long interview with the Ohio Republican who claimed Walz's actions were "shameful," the "State of the Union" host began, "One last question, Donald Trump didn't serve in the military. He received a medical draft deferment for bone spurs to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, reportedly as a favor to his father."

"Do you find that shameful too?" she asked.

"I think that Donald Trump didn't serve in the military but he didn't lie about it, Dana," the Ohio Republican protested. "I've known Donald Trump for a long time..."

"You don't think he — " Bash tried to interject as Vance talked over her and claimed, "Donald Trump didn't lie about serving in the military, he didn't say that he went to Vietnam when he didn't. This is the problem."

"I don't criticize anybody whether they served our country or not," he insisted as he changed the subject. "I think it's honorable to serve, but obviously a lot of people have reasons for not serving. I criticize somebody for embellishing the record for lying, saying I went to war, Dana."

"Don't you think that it's a problem that he [Walz] said I went to war, but he didn't actually? That seems to be a problem to me," Vance continued.

"Well, they've they corrected that, let's move on, " Bash replied.

CNN host Dana Bash pressed Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance after he suggested Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz did not have affection for his wife.

During a Sunday CNN interview, Bash noted that GOP nominee Donald Trump and his running mate had successfully been labeled as "weird."

Reacting to the details released so far from Donald Trump's campaign that it was hacked weeks ago, a former chair of the Republican National Committee wasn't buying it on Sunday morning and claimed a lot of questions need to be answered.

On MSNBC's "The Weekend," ex-RNC chair Michael Steele was adamant that, given Trump's history, everything that comes from his people should be taken with a grain of salt.

After personally participating in the forced displacement of homeless people in a Los Angeles encampment, Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday threatened to withhold funding from counties that don't sufficiently crack down on the unhoused.

Buoyed by the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court's recent City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson ruling—which was welcomed by Newsom and other Democratic leaders like San Francisco Mayor London Breed who filed amicus briefs in the case—the governor issued an executive order last month directing officials to clear out homeless encampments, which have proliferated amid rampant economic inequality and stratospheric housing prices in the nation's most populous state.

During an appearance on MSNBC to talk about Donald Trump's claims about almost being a victim of a helicopter crash, a former Trump Organization executive claimed the former president was being overly dramatic recalling the incident while laughingly recounting how he reacted during the landing.

Speaking with MSNBC fill-in host Ali Vitali, Barbara Res, who has been a go-to source on the Trump Organization's inner workings after rising up the ranks over 18 years said she was on the flight and helped arrange it.

On Saturday morning, MSNBC "The Weekend" co-hosts Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele laughed at new claims Donald Trump recently made about how popular he is with voters.

As former RNC chair Steele jokingly put it, it appears that the former president must be getting high lately.

Reacting to the former president speaking to reporters earlier this week at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he claimed he drew more people to the Washington Mall than legendary civil rights icon Martin Luther King did in1963 for his "I have a dream" speech, Steele and Menendez couldn't control their amusement at the bizarre claim.
