CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins repeatedly pressed GOP Rep. Tom Emmer—who helped with JD Vance’s debate preparations—about the Ohio senator’s refusal to say that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate against Tim Walz.
On The Source, Collins asked Emmer if, during preparations, Vance’s response to Walz’s question was rehearsed. But Emmer wrongly insisted that Vance did respond to the simple question.
“He answered it. You don’t like the answer, but he answered it. This is something that you folks in the media want to focus on on a regular basis,” Emmer said, echoing what Vance told an audience earlier in the day. “Thank goodness JD Vance and Donald Trump are focused on the election and how to fix this country. So I think he did answer the question.”
