CBS News briefly muted the debate microphones of the two vice presidential candidates after Republican JD Vance objected to a fact-check made by Margaret Brennan, one of the network's moderators.

House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed CBS moderators Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan for fact-checking JD Vance during the debate against Tim Walz.

A focus group reacted to JD Vance's microphone being cut off during the CBS debate, with many Republicans and independents disapproving of the moderators' interruption.

An easy way to avoid being fact-checked would be to simply tell the truth.

The vice presidential hopefuls had their mics cut after Republican J.D. Vance protested about the CBS debate moderators 'fact checking' him over Haitian migrant claims in Springfield, Ohio.

CBS News moderators were ridiculed by The New York Post editorial board after they attempted to fact-check JD Vance over his comments on illegal immigration.
