David Muir has had one impressive career reporting on events like Hurricane Katrina and the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and scooping several Emmy awards along the way.
But this week, the journalist ended up dividing fans when he sat down with former Vice President Mike Pence. Mike had been the Vice President during the Trump administration, but he fell out of favor with the former president after refusing to substantiate his claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" and for certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the race.

During the interview, the politician said he was "angered" about Trump's tweets during the attack and called his actions "reckless".
The interview divided fans, with many supporting David for the questioning, but others feeling that Mike was just using it as an opportunity to plug his new book.
"Nice interview," commented one fan, while a second added: "We [are] not going to miss it. David Muir you always make a great work. Thank you."

But a third shared: "He is just trying to sell his new book!! He is not trustworthy!" and a fourth posted: "Had to turn it off. He is so full of it. Could not answer any direct questions. Danced around simple yes or no questions like a frightened school boy. No backbone."
Others shared their views on the politician, praising him for standing up to Trump over his claims about the election, although many felt that he should have turned his back on the former president sooner.
