A sports reporter’s attempt to dunk all over Vice President JD Vance blew up in his face as he made a glaring factual error, which the Veep pounced on.
Earlier this week, Vance gave an interview on Newsmax, speaking about the criticisms of the administration’s crackdown on foreign students studying in the country. He noted that the American space program had been built primarily by people born here, while acknowledging the contributions of German and Jewish immigrants during World War II.
“The American Space Program, the first program to put a human being on the moon, was built by American citizens, some German and Jewish scientists who had come over during World War II,” Vance said. “This idea that American citizens don’t have the talent to do great things, that you have to import a foreign class of servants, I just reject that.”

Vance is so good: “The American Space Program, the first program to put a human being on the moon, was built by American citizens.

But this brilliant segment triggered a woke sports reporter named Gregg Easterbrook, who thought he caught Vance in a gotcha moment. He tried to dunk on the VP by claiming that legendary WWII aerospace engineers Wernher Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph entered America as refugees to work on the Apollo Space program.

Of course, Von Braun and Rudolph did not enter America as refugees. As Grok notes, they were recruited under Operation Paperclip and arrived in September 1945 to work on U.S. military and space programs.
They did not have refugee status because they were not fleeing persecution.
This fact was not lost on Vance as he promptly smacked down Easterbrook by asking just one question: where was Von Braun a refugee from?
Aside from the fact that I explicitly acknowledged the role of German scientists in the clip: does Easterbrook really want to describe Werner Von Braun as a “refugee”?, Vance replied.
“Where was he a refugee from?”

One day, leftists may learn not to get into a battle of the wits against one of the most brilliant VP’s the nation has ever had. But that moment is not arriving any time soon.
