Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha suggested that ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos should lose his job because “he disrespected J.D. Vance, the vice president, on several occasions.”
Stephanopoulos conducted a tense interview with Vice President JD Vance on Sunday, pressing him about bribery allegations involving border czar Tom Homan. When Vance accused Stephanopoulos of going down a “weird left-wing rabbit hole,” he abruptly ended the interview. Vance was still speaking when the program cut to a commercial.

“I would say George probably feels 4 feet tall after that interview … but he is almost 4 feet tall,” Concha said on Fox News’s Hannity Monday. “[Stephanopoulos] disrespected J.D. Vance, the vice president, on several occasions because he knows when he’s losing the argument, he simply goes to commercial.”
“Because he’s a partisan hack that cost his network $15 million when he lied about President Trump and the network was forced to settle a lawsuit as a result. It’s amazing he still has a job outside of being a fundraiser for the DNC because that is what George Stephanopoulos should be doing at this point,” Concha added.

Concha was referring to the settlement between ABC News and President Donald Trump over host Stephanopoulos’s comment that the president was “liable for rape.” As part of the agreement, ABC News stated regret at the bottom of an online article that contained the clip of Stephanopoulos’s comment.
Trump said he would use the settlement funds to help establish “a Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” Stephanopoulos has not apologized for his statement.
