J.D. Vance cut off by NBC host after accusing Harris of having her opponents 'arrested'
On Sunday morning, NBC "Meet the Press" host Kirsten Welker was forced multiple times to contradict Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) after he stated, without any evidence, that Vice President Kamala Harris is having "her DOJ" arrest her political opponents.
As part of three interviews, including CNN and CBS, Vance showed up for that were shown on Sunday, Donald Trump's combative running mate butted heads with all the hosts and NBC's Welker was no exception.
Towards the end of his contentious interview with Welker, he changed direction and attempted to make the case that the greatest danger in the U.S. is Harris and President Joe Biden siccing the government on their critics.

After attacking former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly of being a "disgruntled " ex-employee seeking revenge because Trump fired him, Vance stated, "If he was what John Kelly said he [Trump] was then why did Donald Trump deliver peace and prosperity. He didn't arrest his political opponents as Kamala Harris and the Department of the Justice have in fact done."
"There's no evidence, there is no evidence of that," Welker interrupted as the Ohio Republican tried to talk over her.
"The Department of Justice has not been going after political political opponents?" Vance parried.
"Senator, there is no evidence of that," the host replied.
"The current Department of Justice under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden has absolutely been going after their political opponents of the current Democratic party and I think it's a disgrace, but it's happening," Vance insisted.
"There's no evidence that the DOJ is going after their political opponents. Donald Trump was indicted by federal grand juries," the NBC host shot back.
