The insult JD Vance jokingly used on interviewer who called him an ‘intellectual'
Vice President JD Vance jokingly called an interviewer an "a**hole" for referring to him as an "intellectual" during an event hosted by the American Compass think tank on Tuesday night.
The interviewer, Oren Cass, founder of American Compass, noted Vance's past writings for National Review, where he opposed Donald Trump, before his public turnaround and endorsement by Trump.
Cass praised Vance as someone who was "an intellectual first," leading to Vance's sarcastic outburst.
Vance interrupted Cass's comments, feigning outrage and jokingly insulting Cass, which was met with cheers and applause from the audience.
Cass acknowledged Vance's remark, admitting that he, too, had written for National Review.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was 'pleased to announce' that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick would travel to London along with U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer for a sit-down with 'Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal.'
