Thin on the left so far
Only 1 of the 9 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
US Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly stated that selling access to the White House is "disgusting and despicable." He added that those found to be selling such access should face consequences. Vance's remarks were made in reaction to reports concerning Kimberly Guilfoyle. These reports allege that Guilfoyle requested a $100,000 wire transfer, which subsequently led to her removal from her position as US ambassador to Greece.
Differing accounts of Vance's stance
While Vance condemned the practice of selling access, some reports indicate he preferred to base his opinion on facts rather than random reports. The Press Project noted that Vance "refrained from directly endorsing the allegations, saying he prefers to judge based on the facts." In contrast, other digests stated Vance warned of consequences if allegations were confirmed, or that he announced consequences for those who trade access to the White House.
