Vice President JD Vance is calling out CBS News for its shameful and politically motivated harassment of his mother-in-law, as the network attempted to dig up dirt on her in a desperate effort to attack President Donald Trump.
Media Desperation Reaches New Lows
According to Vance, CBS reporters contacted his mother-in-law, an accomplished physician, to question her about past positions on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—an attempt to manufacture controversy over Vance’s outspoken opposition to leftist DEI policies.
Rather than focusing on real issues, CBS sought to exploit family members in an attempt to smear Vance and, by extension, Trump’s administration. This low-blow tactic is nothing new, as the media has routinely targeted conservatives through personal attacks rather than substantive policy debates.
Vance Fires Back: “This Is Pathetic”
Vance did not hold back, calling out CBS for crossing the line by targeting his family for political purposes.
“They’re so desperate to attack me and President Trump that they’re going after my mother-in-law. They have no shame.”
Vance’s stance against DEI policies has been clear and consistent—he believes Americans should be hired and promoted based on merit, not race-based quotas or radical identity politics. His views align with the majority of Americans who oppose DEI mandates that have undermined workplace standards and created division.
The Left-Wing Media’s Playbook: Target, Harass, Smear
This latest stunt by CBS is part of a larger pattern—liberal media outlets can’t defeat conservatives on policy, so they resort to personal attacks and harassment. Instead of challenging Trump and Vance on their policies that are restoring America’s strength, they seek to manufacture controversy by going after family members and irrelevant personal matters.
The American People See Through the Media’s Lies
Vance has made it clear that he won’t be bullied and that neither he nor Trump will back down from their mission to dismantle radical leftist policies.
The media’s obsession with targeting conservatives and their families only proves one thing—they are terrified of Trump’s administration succeeding, and they are running out of ways to stop it.
