CNN Slaps JD Vance With A Wake-Up Call About Trump After 'Fascist' Complaint

The GOP vice presidential nominee took issue with Democrats doing something that Donald Trump does all the time.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says it’s not acceptable to call your political opponent a fascist ― but CNN put Vance’s hypocrisy on full display Tuesday with a supercut of the many times his running mate, Donald Trump, has done just that.
Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, argued in a speech in Georgia on Monday that the two recent attempts on the former president’s life are evidence that Democrats need to tone down their rhetoric.
“We can disagree with one another, we can debate one another,” he said. “But we cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist, and if he’s elected, it is going to be the end of American democracy.”
CNN’s Abby Phillip showed her viewers a clip of that quote Tuesday.
