CBS News cut out JD Vance’s mic on Tuesday night after Vance sparred with moderator Margaret Brennan over her fact-checking his false claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.

Vance tried to lay out how migrants were entering Springfield before Brennan hit him with a rebuttal: “Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status.”

That appeared to set Vance off, who accused her of violating CBS’ rules for the debate. “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”

    There were no facts being presented, hence the mic cut.
