Prior comments made by JD Vance were thrown in the vice president's face over the weekend.
The conflict arose after the DOJ released millions of more files related to deceased child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
Vance wrote in 2021, "Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it."
That comment gained new life over the weekend.
GOP ex-lawmaker Justin Amash was one of many to throw Vance's words back at him.
"Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And then we got files affirming what took place? And now JD Vance just doesn’t talk about it," Amash wrote.
Host Ana Kasparian added, "Now would be a great time to share your thoughts, @JDVance!"
Analyst Tom Sherwood wrote, "Hasn’t aged well."
Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan also weighed in, writing, "Yes, yes, we remember!"
