“My son, who is seven, is in the hotel room with me,” Vance told the podcast about the phone call he got from former President Donald Trump on the first day of the RNC to tell him he was his veep pick. “And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase... I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.

Vance is going to find out that his political career is just a phase, but his kid will be into Pokemon forever.

Ehh, not interrupting someone when they're making a phone call is pretty basic manners.

Sure, "basic" manners that we can expect of adults. Yelling at kids to shut the hell up doesn't teach them manners, it teaches them to stop sharing their interests with you.
