One of the wonders of the World Cup is that it often brings two very different teams together on the same pitch.
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
Vice President JD Vance said there is “a lot more work to do” on the economy under President Donald Trump, noting that the Trump administration is making progress ahead of the midterm elections. During the “Hot Topics” segment on The View, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin questioned Vance about persistent economic concerns and whether voters who supported […]
If JD Vance was hoping for a light interview to highlight the release of his new book, he had another think coming: The hosts of The View did not pull any punches Tuesday while interrogating the vice president about his administration’s policy positions. “What did Black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color?” asked host Whoopi Goldberg, referring to the Trump administration’s efforts to remove Black history from American monuments and museums. “What exactly are you talking about, Whoopi?” Vance pressed, prompting loud groans from the audience. “It seems that it has been very easy for this administration to remove that, and to denigrate Black folks who have worked their behinds off to get this American dream,” Goldberg said. “So, that was actually a very helpful intervention because, I think the story you’re talking about is where you know, allegedly the administration is holding back the appointments of people based on skin color,” Vance said. “Well no. I’m talking about a host of things,” Sunny Hostin interjected. “I’m talking about Black history getting erased from public spaces, Black voter districts are being dismantled, Black leaders are being sidelined from our ranks. Where do Americans of color fit in this vision? Because it doesn’t seem like we fit.”Host Ana Navarro added that the Trump administration had allowed only 6,668 refugees into the country since October, and all but three were white South Africans. Vance denied Navarro’s number, claiming “everybody is welcome in our political coalition.” “So, you say we’re anti-minority or anti-Black—” Vance said.“No I didn’t say that. I asked, see?” Goldberg said. “Don’t start any stuff with me, man. Don’t get me in trouble!” The audience burst into cheers as Vance conceded.

Host Joy Behar criticized the president for calling affordability a “hoax,” while spending millions of taxpayer dollars on his ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, an arch for himself, and a UFC-themed birthday party.Vance denied that Trump had called affordability a “hoax,” though he has many times, and argued that Trump had made “good progress” bringing prices down. “He just said he loves the inflation,” Navarro said, referring to Trump’s recent remark responding to surging inflation rates. “What he said, Ana, what he said is he loves the fact that the inflation is gonna come down when this war is over,” Vance said. “That’s what he said.”“That’s not what he said,” Goldberg interjected. “Are you his interpreter, or are you his vice president? Come on,” Joy Behar chided. The hosts laughed at the flailing vice president, who chuckled uncomfortably along with them.

Instead, Vance argued that South American countries were off-loading criminals into our borders. “There have been many, many journalists, including CNN, where you used to work and be my colleague, that have tried to find evidence of that,” Navarro replied. “There is no evidence that [Nicolás] Maduro was releasing people from insane asylums or jails, like Fidel Castro did do. This was made up. And we just can’t, you know, accept it without pushing back.”Vance’s attempt to peddle his book on The View was a disaster—but honestly, it was entertaining.

Vice President JD Vance got in a heated conversation about race on Tuesday with Whoopi Goldberg, longtime co-host of "The View."Vance appeared as a guest on the talk show to discuss his new book "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith." The co-hosts pressed him on multiple topics, including the Epstein files and the Trump administration's immigration policies and detainment of families. Goldberg turned the conversation to the administration's handling of racial discrimination."What did Black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color?" Goldberg asked. "And you know how hard it is, you have family. So when you see the Emmett Till stuff coming down or doing all kinds of removal of information of Black heroes, how does that sit with you?""What exactly are you talking about, Whoopi?" Vance asked.The live audience groaned at Vance's response. Goldberg referred to the Trump administration's anti-DEI stance and efforts to censor and roll back diversity efforts and cultural or historical references to slavery and the Black community's history."It seems that it has been very easy for this administration to remove it and also to denigrate Black folks who have worked their behinds off to get this American dream. How do you — I mean — you know better!" Goldberg said.Vance turned to co-host Sunny Hostin, who called out recent moves by the administration after the vice president called some of the concerns allegations."No, I'm talking about a host of things," Hostin said. "I'm talking about Black history getting erased from public spaces, Black voter districts are being dismantled, Black leaders are being sidelined from our ranks. Where do Americans of color fit in this vision? Because it doesn't seem like we fit.""You say we're anti-minority or anti-Black," Vance said.Goldberg interjected and corrected Vance's comment, clarifying what she said."No, I didn't say that. I asked — see? Don't start any stuff with me," Goldberg said.WHOOPI GOLDBERG: What did Black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks of color?JD VANCE: What exactly are you talking about?AUDIENCE: *groans* pic.twitter.com/xFozfFCohk— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 16, 2026
