WATCH: CBS cuts Vance’s mic during fact check on immigration

Sen. JD Vance’s microphone was cut during the vice presidential debate Tuesday after he pushed back on a fact check by moderators over immigration policy.

CBS reporter Margaret Brennan fact checked Vance’s earlier statements about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, noting that there are a large number of migrants with legal status in the city.

“Since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” Vance said, before launching into an explanation of the CBP One app, which is a way for migrants to schedule appointments at a port of entry where they could be granted parole into the country.

The moderators tried to get control of the debate, but Vance’s opponent, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, tried to interject as well. Ultimately, Brennan told both candidates their microphones had been cut, per a ground rule established before the debate, so they could move on to other topics.

With just more than a month to go before Election Day, Vance and Walz met for their first and only vice presidential debate on Oct. 1, hosted by CBS in New York.
