Apparently there is a joke that is made in the Capitol, and involves JD Vance.

The vice president appeared in “The Ingraham Angle” of News, and shared his thoughts on things like open surveillance in Washington, DC, as well as his experience in the terminal of the city’s union station. But the conversation took a turn when the host asked Vance who his “best friends” is in the cabinet.

“I mean, I have many good friends,” Vance said. “The strange thing is that you say he is a person and then fundamentally that is an insult to other people. “

After hitting the mountain, Vance appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as someone with whom he is “very close”, and added that Rubio is a “great friend” of his. He continued saying that Rubio is doing a “great job” in his current position.

Vance did not stop there. Then he appointed the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom Vance also says he is “doing a great job” in his role. Unlike Rubio, Vance and Hegseth’s friendship, he recently shared a fundamental experience: the two were among those who were booed and devils during his walk through the Union station, where Vance thanked the National Guard for his service.

“The DC swamp tried to destroy Pete Hegseth, unlike anyone in the administration,” Vance said about former News host. “Every time I see the worst people in the world trying to tear down a boy, that makes me think that he is on our side.”
