During a black tie event hosted by American Compass in Washington D.C., Vice President JD Vance humorously reacted to being called an "intellectual" by Oren Cass, the event's host. Cass noted Vance's past contributions to the National Review, referencing his earlier opposition to Donald Trump, contrasting it with Vance's current status as a Trump-endorsed vice president. Vance jokingly dismissed the label, noting the tension between his past and present political positions, showcasing the rapid political shifts in his career, particularly during the Trump era.
I come here for free and you insult me, the vice president cracked. And you call me an intellectual.'
