On Sunday’s episode of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the ABC anchor asked JD about Tom Homan, the “border czar” who was reportedly caught accepting bribes during a 2024 FBI sting operation.
According to NBC News, the investigation was recently closed by Trump appointees in the FBI and the Justice Department.
JD said, “And here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you’re losing credibility. Because you’re talking for now five minutes with the vice president of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video that you’re talking about.”
ABC
The vice president blamed “Democrats and Chuck Schumer” for the government shutdown and the resultant inability of low-income women to obtain food. Okayyy.
ABC
“You’re focused on a bogus story,” he continued. “You’re insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government’s shut down.”
ABC
“Let’s talk about the real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird, left-wing rabbit hole, where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn’t engage in any criminal wrongdoing.”

Well, George was not impressed with all that nonsense. “It’s not a weird, left-wing rabbit hole,” he said. “I didn’t insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audiotape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.”
ABC
JD tried to continue the conversation. “No, George, I said—”
ABC
But George wasn’t having it! He cut off JD, turned to the camera, and said, “We’ll be right back.” LMAO.
ABC
George had ENOUGH, and I don’t blame him one bit!

MAGA apparently wants an apology from the ABC host and accused him of “lying.”
Even JD took to X (formerly Twitter) to complain about him.
