JD Vance's interview on CNN didn't get off to a great start
JD Vance on CNN dodges a question about Trump's personal view on abortion by claiming he's more focused on inflation
BERMAN: How would this work if a state bans IVF, but Trump says he wants to pay for IVF for everyone who wants it, how would that work?
JD VANCE: I think it's such a ridiculous hypothetical
B: You voted against guaranteeing access to IVF
VANCE: I voted for religious liberty
BERMAN: Could you see RFK Jr involved in health policy and vaccines?
VANCE: Well look, again, I don't agree with Bobby about everything
BERMAN: Would you describe Trump's posts over the past 48 hours as lifting people up? Reposting QAnon statements & misogynistic memes about Hillary Clinton?
JD VANCE: I'd much rather have a candidate who is willing to tell some jokes
BERMAN: Alright. "Fun and jokes"
BERMAN: Last night you posted a clip from Ms Teen US 2007 -- Caitlin Upton. When you posted that, were you aware she thought about committing suicide for the attention that received?
JD VANCE: No, certainly not.
B: Would you like to apologize?
V: I'm not going to apologize
