But if Ruhle expected Vance to quietly take the mockery, she was in for a surprise. Rather than ignoring the attack, the Republican senator hit back with a tweet that lit up the internet. “One time I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: Vance, in fact, only slept for 8 hours,” he responded, underscoring the absurdity of how the media often fixates on trivialities. Vance’s sharp retort struck a chord with many, particularly those who feel mainstream media outlets like MSNBC are more interested in nitpicking harmless comments than tackling real issues.
Vance’s comeback gained momentum quickly, racking up millions of views and sparking a wave of memes across social media platforms. His tweet seemed to perfectly capture a sentiment shared by a growing number of conservatives—an exhaustion with what they view as a media landscape overly focused on gaffes and minor slip-ups. “It’s not about the eggs, it’s about how easily these media figures latch onto the most insignificant things,” one user commented in defense of Vance.
The response to Ruhle’s post wasn’t just limited to Vance’s supporters. Many commentators across the political spectrum found her critique to be an overreaction, especially given the light-hearted context of Vance’s initial statement. “She tried to make a mountain out of a molehill and ended up being the punchline,” one analyst noted, pointing out that Ruhle may have inadvertently handed Vance a viral moment on a silver platter.
REACTIONS:
This isn’t the first time Ruhle has found herself in hot water over her interview style. Recently, she was criticized for her softball questions during a one-on-one interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, her first since being selected as the Democratic nominee for president. Ruhle’s lenient approach drew scorn from many, with some comparing it to conservative media interviews with figures like Donald Trump. Even The New York Times commented, writing, “For the vice president, speaking with Ms. Ruhle was roughly in the same ballpark as Mr. Trump having one of his regular chats with Sean Hannity of Fox News.”

As for Vance, this viral exchange has only boosted his online presence ahead of a critical moment in the political arena. Vance is set to face off against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the only scheduled vice-presidential debate before the November election. With this recent episode fresh in voters’ minds, it’s clear that Vance’s sharp tongue and quick wit will be assets as he heads into the debate stage.
In the end, the saga between Vance and Ruhle is more than just a petty social media squabble. It’s a reflection of the broader battle between conservative figures and mainstream media, a dynamic that has only grown more intense in recent years. For now, Vance seems to be winning this round, with his viral response leaving Ruhle’s attempt at mockery in the dust. As the senator’s tweet continues to make waves online, one thing is certain—this won’t be the last time JD Vance makes headlines for his unapologetic style.
