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. 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,” Vance said. “You can police people for violating the law, and we have seen some of that with some of these protests.”
“OK. So you agree that people who break in and vandalize the building should be prosecuted?” Collins countered, to which Vance replied: “Exactly.” Collins then brought up Vance’s past support for the pro-Trump rioters who did just that on Jan. 6, 2021.

Collins: Okay. So you agree that people who break in and vandalize the building should be prosecuted? I’m just checking because you did help raise money for people who did so on January 6, pic.twitter.com/pebeSKtpgF

I guess Yale Law didn’t prepare him for a totally out of the blue question that no one could have seen coming.
Even if *he* didn’t see it coming, his staff should have. https://t.co/wZYYVOlqDH

Kaitlan Collins to JD Vance as he downplays January 6: “Last I checked, President Biden wasn’t approving of the chants to hang his vice president and didn’t not call his VP when his life was in danger on Capitol Hill, something Mike Pence testified to.” pic.twitter.com/UeR3F6QXGR

KAITLAN COLLINS: You’re basically saying that if the president orders a military coup, you believe the only remediation for that is impeachment?
