I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.VANCE: No, George, I sai--STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back pic.twitter.com/bj9qxaFIzk- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 12, 2025 Twitter: @atrupar On Sunday's episode of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the ABC anchor asked JD about Tom Homan, the "border czar" who was reportedly caught accepting bribes during a 2024 FBI sting operation. According to NBC News, the investigation was recently closed by Trump appointees in the FBI and the Justice Department. BuzzFeed TrendingHot TopicLet's chat about all things PoliticsSee our Politics Discussions JD said, "And here's, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you're losing credibility. Because you're talking for now five minutes with the vice president of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I've read about, but I don't even know the video that you're talking about." ABC The vice president blamed "Democrats and Chuck Schumer" for the government shutdown and the resultant inability of low-income women to obtain food. Okayyy. ABC "You're focused on a bogus story," he continued. "You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government's shut down." ABC "Let's talk about the real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird, left-wing rabbit hole, where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing." ABC Well, George was not impressed with all that nonsense. "It's not a weird, left-wing rabbit hole," he said. "I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audiotape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning." ABC JD tried to continue the conversation. "No, George, I said-" ABC But George wasn't having it! He cut off JD, turned to the camera, and said, "We'll be right back." LMAO. ABC George had ENOUGH, and I don't blame him one bit! ABC MAGA apparently wants an apology from the ABC host and accused him of "lying." ABC / Twitter: @Rightanglenews Even JD took to X (formerly Twitter) to complain about him.

Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S doesn't care about that. He's here to focus on the real story: a fake scandal involving Tom Homan. https://t.co/LuIFo3QSTi- JD Vance (@JDVance) October 12, 2025 ABC / Twitter: @JDVance But my feed is filled with people applauding the ABC host and loving this moment! Here's what folks are saying: This is how it's done. If that creepy couch-fucker won't answer a simple question, cut him off and stop having him waste peoples time. https://t.co/gAU4teFX1Z- Meacham (@MeachamDr) October 12, 2025 ABC / Twitter: @MeachamDr "No, George, I sai-" pic.twitter.com/3wnugA2BDx- Cambino (@CamBam_speed) October 12, 2025 CBS / Twitter: @CamBam_speed i can't believe how little attention this story has gotten so far. tom homan got a bag with 50k in bribes in an fbi sting. this admin so transparently corrupt, so nakedly evil that it's barely made a dent. https://t.co/M4RhuGrqyU- hasanabi (@hasanthehun) October 13, 2025 ABC / Twitter: @hasanthehun @MartinPujdak / x.com Twitter: @SaintLaurant Twitter: @harryjsisson And finally: ABC/Paula Lobo/ Alex Wong / Getty Images) / Twitter: @anyonewantchips Note: The images in the original tweet were replaced here due to photo rights.
