'Hypocrite': JD Vance gets more than he bargained for in testy appearance on ‘The View’
The internet erupted on Tuesday after "The View" co-hosts put Vice President JD Vance in the hot seat and dropped tough questions. Vance was pressed about the Trump administration's policies by Whoopi Goldberg and called out by Joy Behar over his responses while he tried to promote his new book: "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith."Media and political experts on social media reacted to Vance's interaction with the daytime talk show hosts."Imagine if reporters asked questions as hard as the hosts of The View," Emmy-nominated writer and comedian Mike Drucker wrote on X."The makeup artist not filling in his eyebrows is masterful work," Nikki McCann Ramírez, politics reporter at Rolling Stone, wrote on X."He doesn't respect women, so he went in thinking he would be able to manipulate them and boy was he wrong," progressive political commentator Sarah Ironside wrote on X."How do you know this administration is racist? Every single time someone ask them about the quality of life for Black Americans they bring up CRIME STATISTICS (or WAREHOUSE JOBS) as a MEASURE of BLACK SUCCESS in the United States. That's all we are to them," Swipa, analyst for Mile High Sports and social media commentator, wrote on X."He danced around answering the question because Vance knows there is no way to defend it. SMH," writer and editor Keith Murphy wrote on X."JD Vance has criticized The View for years claiming it’s an out of touch liberal media show with political hacks. But that doesn’t stop him from crawling up on their stage to beg The View’s audience to buy his book," Canadian liberal political commentator Marlene Robertson wrote on X.".@JDVance complains endlessly about The View... until it comes time to make money for his book. Hypocrite," anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project wrote on X."Really disturbing how comfortable he is fabricating information out of thin air," Julian Andreone, Washington reporter for Drop Site News, wrote on X.Really disturbing how comfortable he is fabricating information out of thin air https://t.co/D6HrWC9YFJ— Julian Andreone (@JulianAndreone) June 16, 2026

Secret Service furious at Kash Patel for rushing to announce arrests in UFC plot
Secret Service officials were angry after FBI Director Kash Patel blindsided them and publicly announced details of a sealed, ongoing investigation into an alleged plot to attack a UFC fight event at the White House.Patel's announcement Tuesday morning potentially compromised roughly 10 arrests that had not yet been made, according to three people familiar with the matter, and his social media post disrupted plans by Secret Service and FBI officials to unseal the case later that afternoon and issue a joint public statement, reported NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian."We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," one administration official said, speaking anonymously to discuss sensitive matters.The investigation began last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area to report that their family member was discussing a vague plot in Washington. A Secret Service advanced threat interdiction team, working with the FBI, obtained a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread that revealed plans for the drone attack. One suspect was arrested June 13, and the case was immediately sealed to allow investigators to identify and arrest additional suspects.Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn publicly rebuked the premature disclosure at a news conference Tuesday without naming Patel directly. "Don't choke on your own smoke," Quinn said, invoking a phrase learned early in his career. "The Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it."Quinn declined to discuss further details, noting the case remained sealed and active.The Secret Service has since dramatically expanded security around the weekend event and issued alerts to law enforcement partners to watch for drones in downtown Washington.
