Here’s why ‘Margaret Brennan fired from CBS’ is trending on social media
Speculation that CBS fired Margaret Brennan after her interview with Vice President JD Vance on Face the Nation has made her trend online.
During the interview, Vance dismissed Brennan’s questioning about the radicalization of an Afghan national accused of planning a terrorist attack, responding with, “I don’t really care, Margaret.” The phrase quickly gained traction online, fueling debates over whether CBS fired Brennan in response to the backlash.
Brennan repeatedly questioned Vance on allowing Afghan refugees, including those who had worked with the U.S. government, into the country. She directly cited Vance’s past statement, “I don’t think we should abandon anybody who’s been properly vetted and helped us.”
Vance disagreed, stating, “I don’t agree that all these immigrants, or all these refugees, have been properly vetted.” He cited Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, an Afghan national arrested for an alleged terrorist plot, adding, “Just like the guy…in Oklahoma? He was allegedly properly vetted…Clearly, he wasn’t.”
Brennan countered, “That was a very particular case. It wasn’t clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.” Vance responded with the now-viral line: “I don’t really care, Margaret. I don’t want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.”
Conservative commentators immediately slammed Brennan for her heated exchange with JD Vance. Megyn Kelly criticized her, saying, “She could not have clowned herself worse…just a complete moron.” The controversy fueled speculation that CBS had fired her or was considering it. (via Sky News)
Although CBS has not confirmed Brennan’s firing, social media remains divided. Some celebrate the idea that CBS fired her, while others argue she was just doing her job. As of writing, it appears she’s still working with the network and has not been dismissed.
