Chris Hayes Makes A Mockery Out Of JD Vance’s ‘String Of Failures’ With 1 Vicious Comparison

MS NOW host Chris Hayes on Tuesday clowned Vice President JD Vance over his “tough seven days” after his visit to Hungary, his failed negotiations to end the Iran war and his warning to Pope Leo XIV to “stick to matters of morality.”
“I feel like there’s always the threat for a vice president to become a ‘Veep’-like figure,” said Hayes while referring to the political satire comedy series prior to an interview with “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett.

“It could be a very dangerous and precarious political position because you are the No. 2, because you don’t actually get to control your own destiny in some ways. You can’t break with the president. And I feel like he’s had a real ‘Veep’-like week.”
Hayes recapped Vance’s “string of failures” starting with his attempt to draw support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who lost “decisively” in his reelection bid on Sunday after the vice president’s speech at one of his rallies.
Vance later claimed on Fox News that the administration knew there was a “very good chance” that Orbán, who wasn’t doing hot in the polls, would lose and the visit was a matter of standing behind an autocrat who “stood by us.”

Hayes turned to Vance’s trip to Pakistan for talks on how to end the unpopular Iran war.
“On his way there, he reminded everyone — this guy has no credibility and zero experience in this field,” said the host before playing a clip of the vice president using a bizarre skydiving analogy involving his wife, Usha Vance, to offer his two cents on Iran’s ceasefire proposal.
JD Vance would later deliver the “bad news” that the U.S. and Iran failed to reach an agreement on the conflict while his boss, President Donald Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio took in a UFC fight in Miami this past weekend.
He then tossed to the Catholic vice president’s “next big move”: picking a fight with the first U.S.-born pontiff, a feud he’s continued to dig into.

Minutes later, Lovett pointed out that Vance went to Hungary to chime in on how Hungarians should “run their country” before telling an American from Chicago to “focus on morality as opposed to war and peace and immigration.”
