A CNN reporter was booed by the crowd when she asked a question of GOP vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance at a campaign event Wednesday in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Vance headlined an event at a warehousing company in the northwest Pennsylvania city, where he made his argument that a Trump-Vance administration would result in more economic growth for the region.
“You build more things in America, and it lifts the entire community of Erie, Pennsylvania, and that’s what Donald Trump and I are going to fight for,” he said.
However, when CNN political producer Kit Maher introduced herself, the audience reacted with a chorus of boos.
The reporter then nervously launched into her question.
“How did Trump go from calling him disloyal and an average governor to praising him and thanking him for his support?” she asked.
“And why is it so important to have his support and a unity there?” Maher also wondered.
“Because we’re a big tent party,” Vance answered.

“The president just got RFK’s endorsement. He just got Tulsi Gabbard‘s endorsement. And on the other side, he’s got Nikki Haley’s endorsement. He’s got Brian Kemp’s endorsement.”
“He is the president of common sense in this country,” the senator continued.
“People are sick of being lied to, and they’re sick of the craziness.”
Vance also acknowledged that Donald Trump and Kemp have personal disagreements, “but they’re both big enough to put the country over personal interest.”
Trump’s running mate added that they both agree that “we’ve got to kick that insane politician named Kamala Harris out of the White House.”
CNN could not help but cut away during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement speech of Trump Friday, so it’s no surprise Harris chose the network to do her first sit-down interview.
