It's not easy, but he keeps his cool and maintains a friendly manner even as the women try very hard to put on the pressure:

Good for JD.
Whoopie couldn't offer a single example of what she was alleging ("erasure of black history", etc.). She just throws out whatever enters her brain to see what sticks.
It helps that he’s smarter than all of them put together.
Packing a knife to a football game and being a stereotypical notorious epithet probably doesn't help, Whoopi.
Many. Such. Cases.
Very brave to show up. Good leadership quality.
erasure of black history
She probably meant with Clarence Thomas was excluded from the Smithsonian exhibit on great black judges. Did anyone tell her that happened under Biden?
I can't watch The View. It destroys my belief that women should have the right to vote. Women should be boycotting that show. It's deeply offensive to the entire sex.
Most Dems know, within limits, what their opposition thinks on key issues that are important to Dems, say immigration, climate change, gender transitions for minors, etc., but they have no grasp whatsoever of why they think that or how they think about these issues. They seem to feel no need to understand the thinking or reasoning of their opposition.
Not only that. Most Dems seem not to consider how or why they themselves think what they think and believe what they believe. They just do and being part of that consensus is enough.
The View proves there’s a market for shrieking harridans. They really should go all the way and hire Hillary Clinton.
Whoopie: 'There's so many I can't think of any'.
Time and time again, they're outraged about stuff they just made up.
The View feeds the uncensored ids of female daytime TV watchers (not employed, lower income, or lower demand jobs it seems). This is feelgood emotional righteous 'p0rn' for a certain audience. The late night shows feed the ids of unemployed TV watchers who can stay up that late.
She probably meant with Clarence Thomas was excluded from the Smithsonian exhibit on great black judges. Did anyone tell her that happened under Biden?
That would have been a great response by JD. "Are you referring to Clarence Thomas being excluded from the Smithsonian exhibit on great black judges? I agree that was terrible. Oh wait, that was under Biden."
Gah thats just agonizing
Whatever you do, don't claim Whoopie is a dude- don't want to upset Chuck.
Trump attracted black voters. JD is not Trump.
The single working women who paid taxes to support JDs deadbeat family coming up were told that without pushing out children, thay had not contributed to the country...
He's not going to win over women voters like trump did even when he names his new baby Donald...
How can six women on a largely watched show like that not see how excruciatingly incoherent they are and be completely embarrassed by that? No data, no facts, no clarifying what they mean, no room for JD to complete his comments before piling on another out of the blue question or statement? Of all people they should be extra prepared for, the VP himself, they failed miserably. Good thing the tourists are roaming the countryside and not watching this sh*t of a show.
Sounds like ann tuned into the crapfest and is dragging her crew in too... there's a market for this stuff,sadly.
Every female leftist up there is a fucking liar.
Sorry, but I have to go stick and hot sharp stick in my eye instead. It's more tolerable.
I think I have an example of what she was talking about. Sec. of War Hegseth directed that the military would no longer focus on racially divisive celebrations or activities. As part of that, minority focused sections of the service websites were removed. Prior to 2025, there were sections praising minority contributions on all the service sites.
I found out about this while talking to Carl Brashear's son, earlier this year. Brashear used to have a dedicated page in that section, and it is now all homed on an unofficial website maintained by an outside organization.
What's the over/under for millions of gallons of boxed wine consumed nationwide during The View?
The View. Aptly named, only one view permitted … and JD Vance’s positions are not permitted to the see the light of day.
No point in talking to these women. No point in listening to them either.
Saddest of all? - the white left idiots in the audience - cheering at the BS and lies.
Spoiled rich black woman who lives in ultra-secure mansion and has bodyguards wonders why things are so bad now for black people. Maybe by stigmatizing, she means an administration that doesn't take a knee for felons.
The spew from a scylla or charybdis
Yet here you are engaging, ST...
Suckahs
The only time I watch The View is via clips. We must understand the depths of the left's insanity.
I would LOVE to avoid those shrieking interrupting fem-hack lying liars who lie / and the democrat party propaganda shit show that is "The View"
I thought The View had only 4 attack dogs in their kennel …. er …. panel. Do I see 6 leashes in that video.
FEELINGS.
NOTHING MORE THAN FEELINGS.
Please! Now we are suddenly feeling sorry for the second-most dishonest mobster inside the Don's mafia organization.
Lacking specifics, it sounded like stereotyping to me.
It's deeply offensive to the entire sex
...I'd go with species.
I thought he did a very good job. As much as I would never sit down to watch The View, I don't understand all the spittle flecked anger it seems to inspire. He did the right thing going on the show, and probably won a few people over at least to some small degree.
A complete waste of time going on the air with those shitheads.
Don't forget, The View is under the umbrella of ABC News.
Against my better judgement, I watched the clip. My thoughts- if you're going to ask someone a question, shut your fat gob afterwards and let the person answer it.
It's almost like they didn't really want an answer, they just wanted to bitch.
I wish Vance had asked more questions himself...
"Where is black history being erased from public spaces?"
"What black leaders are being sidelined?"
"Where did those immigration figures come from?"
"Who is saying that this administration is anti-minority?"
That whole "I didn't say that, I'm just asking questions" routine is bullshit.
Joe Bar has it: the removal of, for instance, plaques about war heroes who were people of color. I remember when it happened, badabing badaboom, like five minutes after the announcement that the military didn't care what your ethnicity is as long as you can serve your country in the capacity in which you're serving.
It sounded like malicious compliance to me, but I never heard any follow-up (which actually is what I'd expect if it were malicious compliance). I'd love to see more on this, and on what's happened since.
“It's almost like they didn't really want an answer, they just wanted to bitch.”
They also had zero actual questions. It was all performance and insult porn.
"like five minutes after the announcement that the military didn't care what your ethnicity is as long as you can serve your country in the capacity in which you're serving."
Sounds like a good thing to me. The way you stop racism is by not using race to lump people into groups.
"Joe Bar has it: the removal of, for instance, plaques about war heroes who were people of color."
Those plaques are part of a rotation exhibit that gets changed to new subjects every month.
Obviously she has not read "Our Black Foremothers" a book offered to the Bell Labs librarian and she refused to order it. That was before serious wokeness took over.
Talking points are not to be examined, they are to be repeated until they have the quality of an appearance of truth.

I’ve seen a few clips from the show. I’d rather have a colonoscopy without sedation than watch a full episode.
The black heroes are the same ones that they always had. George Washington Carver etc. There are some actual heroes, like Thomas Sowell, but they're really exceptional and on the wrong side.

Don't forget Anthony Johnson. It's hard to think of an African-American that had more impact - and for as long - as he had on black America.
Vance is exceptionally skilled at handling this sort of hostile interview. That doesn't make him a good President, but it's always good to have a skill.
The Five is sort-of the conservative version of The View. Can you imaginer Kamala handling herself on that show?
JD is who you vote for if you like incompetent entitled white guys. Likely reminds ann of her two Cohen offspring... "JD is like my son, and I haven't had a man in my life for soooo long." LOL.
Meade won't fall for it. Or for Rubio. Meade won't vote for a catlicker... he's an old school American like that. He'd vote for a jew like Rahm tho, cuz those guys know superiority and Meade knows his place... he's less than a Cohen but better than a begley or fitzgerald any day. Hoosier white supremacy with that inherited boomer holocaust guilt...
His book is reviewed in the NYT.
He called Catholic teaching trite, and is all about baby making. Lots of focus on how he met the wife.
Who would vote for this poser, ann?? 😉
I was left wondering why the panel members didn't bring forward examples when JD Vance asked them for specifics. Perhaps they can't actually think quickly any more. They've only heard half of any news story for the last ten years - since the NYT stopped presenting both sides in 2016 and since other media copied that self-limitation. So now it seems these Dem spokesladies are sort of helpless when they get asked a direct question or get a direct challenge. Usually they get angry and hysterical but when they don't emote, they seem helpless. Wingless birds. Dodos.
gadfly - go lick a poisonous toad. It might help you.
I have encountered Youtube shorts of The View, but I just can't watch the entire 60 second clips. It is not good for my blood pressure.
He got a much friendlier reception on The Five.
Sounds like a good thing to me. The way you stop racism is by not using race to lump people into groups.
100%! That's why I phrased it as I did.
If Trump's MOU was anything short of embarrassing, he wouldn’t need JD making the rounds through the lefty media gauntlet to run cover for it.
"...if you're going to ask someone a question, shut your fat gob afterwards and let the person answer it."
That's not how they roll on The View. They emit gusts of ill-informed indignation non-stop.
I discovered Thomas Sowell in the late '80s with his terrific "A Conflict of Visions," which I bought as soon as it came out in paperback. I'll soon be opening a s***-ton of book boxes that I haven't unboxed in more than a decade, and I'm looking forward to rereading this one, in light of modern times.

Another book that really affected my thinking about some core issues was ""The War Against Boys" by Christina Hoff Somers. I bought that book when it came out in paperback (the book was published in 2000), inspired by an article she wrote on the topic for The Atlantic Monthly before that in the '90s. It really informed my approach to my son's education (he was born in 2000), and partly led to our ultimate decision to homeschool him starting in 3rd grade.

One might call it the harrison bergeron show
I taught classes in critical thinking at the University level for eight years. My new students were greeted with this written on the board the first night of class.
“Don’t believe everything you believe.”
People with strong beliefs often don’t spend much time challenging their own thinking.
This applies in spades to the ladies of The View.

Because they don't have any. Because they're lying, and they know it.

They NEVER could think quickly, or well
