George Stephanopoulos recently conducted a tense interview with Vice President JD Vance on ABC's "This Week." During the interview, Stephanopoulos pressed Vance about accusations that Tom Homan, a White House border official, accepted a $50,000 bribe, citing FBI surveillance tape reportedly showing the cash exchange. When Vance denied the allegations and accused the media of fabricating the story, Stephanopoulos abruptly cut off the interview mid- sentence after Vance refused to directly answer whether Homan kept the money or returned it. Following this, President Donald Trump harshly criticized Stephanopoulos and ABC News. Trump called Stephanopoulos a "nasty person" and mocked him by altering his name to "Slopadopoulos." Trump condemned the cutting off of Vance mid-interview as inappropriate and declared he would no longer take questions from "ABC fake news." He also referenced a past lawsuit that resulted in ABC and Stephanopoulos paying $16 million to him, sarcastically framing it as a win for Trump. Trump further accused Stephanopoulos of using hostile and unfair interview tactics against a respected Vice President of the United States.
