J.D. Vance mocks press for trying to turn Kamala into Abraham Lincoln

 Vance took questions from media in front of rally goers

'If you want to be the... vice president you ought to answer their questions'

It's been 24 days since Harris launched her presidential campaign and she has still refused to sit for an interview and has not held a press conference or sat for an interview

 since becoming the de facto Democratic nominee.

At a rally in Byron Center, Michigan on Wednesday, Donald Trump's new running mate and attack dog took several hits at Harris and claimed her allies in the 'fake news' are trying to turn her into Abraham Lincoln.

And really turning up the heat onto the current VP, he accused Harris of pulling the strings behind the scenes and claimed her presidency would just extend the actions of the Biden administration.

'While we're on the topic of Kamala Harris – we've got some of our friends in the media. I just can't quite get over how dishonest the American media is about Kamala Harris – isn't that the craziest thing,' Vance said during his approximately 26-minute remarks.

'Democratic leaders all across the country – they would say things and the American media would back them up that President Biden is as sharp as he's ever been, he's as sharp as a tack. Remember that?' the Ohio senator added.

'And the American media acted for three-and-a-half years like this guy was Albert Einstein and now they want to tell us that Kamala Harris is the second coming of Abraham Lincoln,' he said. 'We don't buy it, we don't believe it.'

Vance visited the Cordes building supply store and spoke to a few hundred supporters after a quick meet and greet inside a warehouse of antique cars and memorabilia. He finished off the one-day swing with a stop at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market where he bought a branzino, shared ice cream with his wife and went to a bubble tea stand, speaking with Michigan voters along the way.
