Vice President J.D. Vance fired back at White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles after she called him a "conspiracy theorist" in an interview with Vanity Fair.

While speaking in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, a reporter from The Washington Post asked Vance about Wiles's remarks.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was fiercely scolded Tuesday over his financial ties to Rumble, the video platform popular among the far-right and a hotbed of conspiracy theories, including some that “demean” the memory of Lutnick’s own brother who was killed in 9/11.

Lutnick was the CEO of the financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald until his appointment in the Trump administration earlier this year when he handed off the company to his sons. Lutnick has continued to promote projects that financially benefit Cantor Fitzgerald, which has deep business ties to Tether Limited, a financial technology company.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) faces significant challenges in her bid for the South Carolina governorship, struggling to secure endorsements from state GOP establishment figures despite her high name recognition.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mace's volatile personality and history of public confrontations have created reluctance among local party officials to support her candidacy. Her gubernatorial race includes competition from Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, Rep. Ralph Norman, and Attorney General Alan Wilson. While Mace leads in name recognition among the field, she simultaneously carries the highest unfavorability ratings in recent polling.

Media figures were left stunned Tuesday after the publication of a “wild” interview with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, which included quotes from the top official that directly contradicted President Donald Trump’s denials around Jeffrey Epstein.

“Susie Wiles throws Trump under the bus by contradicting him on the Epstein Files,” wrote The Independent's White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg Tuesday in a social media post on X.

Pro-MAGA host Terrance Bates literally walked off camera when his co-host, David Brody, floated Stephen A. Smith's name as a presidential candidate.

During a Tuesday discussion on Real America's Voice, co-host Emily Finn argued that California Gov. Gavin Newsom "has a shot" to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, predicted that Colorado election-denier Tina Peters would be freed from prison by arguing that President Donald Trump could pardon state charges.

Lindell made the claim during an interview with Alex Jones this week, soon after Trump issued a pardon for Peters despite not having the power to grant clemency for state crimes.

Vice President JD Vance's previous demands for accountability are now creating complications for Donald Trump following public backlash over the president's recent ugly comments about Rob Reiner's murder

On MSNOW's "Morning Joe," multiple panelists referenced Vance's earlier insistence that anyone who criticized conservative commentator Charlie Kirk after his fatal shooting on a Utah college campus in September should face employment consequences.

In the aftermath of Kirk's death, Vance declared, "Call them out, and hell, call their employer. We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility," during a guest appearance hosting Kirk's podcast.

But on Monday, hours after Reiner's death was reported, Trump took to Truth Social to write, “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."

Conservative columnist Matt Lewis raised the inconsistency during a Tuesday appearance on MS NOW, questioning who would hold Trump accountable for his attacks on Reiner following the deaths of the Hollywood icon and his wife — with their son accused of being the killer.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles broke ranks and made waves with a series of jaw-dropping interviews Tuesday.

Vanity Fair published the first of a two-part article based on interviews Wiles gave to writer Chris Whipple, who published a well-regarded book on White House chiefs of staff. Journalists, political staffers and other social media users were stunned by some of her revelations.
