Vance says "selling access to the White House" is "disgusting"
Vice President JD Vance told CBS News in a "Things That Matter" town hall in Michigan that anybody who is "selling access to the White House" should "suffer consequences."
What the coverage shows
Both CBS News and 60 Minutes center on JD Vance condemning “selling access to the White House” as “disgusting” in a Michigan town hall. CBS News’ extract keeps the focus on his call for consequences for anyone doing it, while 60 Minutes adds that he also attacked Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a detail that appears only in its extract.
