No one is more annoyingly media trained than JD Vance. The way he does repeating interviewer’s name is like sticking needles under the nails: “Dana. Dana. Da-na.” If I were to interview him, I would ask him to never say my name again.

After each trainwreck of an interview like the one where Dana Bash of all people caught Vance admitting making up stories and he froze in panic, telegraphing confession with his face, I imagine, he probably goes to the Thiel's dungeon to torture one of his bloodboys.
