U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Sunday lashed out a MAGA journalist who suggested someone on his staff might be a "vile bigot."
Vance over the weekend took to X, where he attacked a self-identified investigative journalist who suggested Tucker Carlson's son, who works for Vance, might be a bigot.
It started when Sloan Rachmuth wrote Saturday, "Today, we learned that Tucker Carlson’s brother idolizes Nick Fuentes. Racism and antisemitism is a Carlson family trait. Is Tucker’s son Buckley, who serves as JD Vance’s top aide also a vile bigot? America deserves to know how deep the Carlson’s family ethnic and religious hatred runs."
That prompted a response form the vice president, who named her directly.
"Sloan Rachmuth is a 'journalist' who has decided to obsessively attack a staffer in his 20s because she doesn't like the views of his father," he said Sunday. "Every time I see a public attack on Buckley it's a complete lie."
"And yes, I notice ever[y] person with an agenda who unfairly attacks a good guy who does a great job for me," Vance then added.
