CNN Host Kaitlan Collins Calls Out J.D. Vance’s Gaza Protest Hypocrisy
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins caught Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) flat-footed Wednesday night with a misdirection in her line of questioning on the current pro-Palestine protests roiling college campuses across the country.
In a segment to kick off The Source, Collins quizzed the pro-Trump senator on his views regarding the relative value of free speech versus the safety and well-being of students whose lives have been disrupted by the protests on campus—to which Vance replied that police should only become involved if protesters are breaking the law.
“My view on this is that Israel’s our ally, that we should support them, but you can’t police people for being anti-Israel or pro-Israel,” he said. “You can police people for violating the law, and we have seen some of that with some of these protests.”
