Genuine concern about antisemitism on the right is being hijacked by neocons to attack J.D. Vance in hopes of re-taking control of the GOP.Let’s get something straight about the civil war breaking out on the right: it’s not primarily about Tucker Carlson “platforming” or “normalizing” Nick Fuentes, or about Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ decision to defend Carlson, or even about the rise of antisemitism on the right. The primary target here isn’t Carlson or Roberts, but Vice President J.D. Vance. And the people targeting him are Never Trump foreign policy interventionists who hope to destroy the MAGA movement and...

Most Americans are not antisemitic, but concerns over Israel reflect “a real backlash to consensus view in American foreign policy,” United States Vice President JD Vance assessed in a Monday interview… The vice president said Fuentes serves as a “useful foil” for some pro-Israel conservatives, allowing them to avoid a substantive discussion about US policy toward Israel. Vance said that while he believes “Israel is an important ally... we’re also going to have very substantive disagreements with Israel – and that’s OK.”

The US Vice President added that Europe's immigration policies have caused a significant backlash from the native populationLONDON, December 22. /TASS/. The erroneous economic and migration policies of European countries have led to cultural stagnation and discontent among the continent's population, US Vice President JD Vance said. "I think their economic policies have produced very broad-based continental stagnation. Their immigration policies have caused a significant backlash from the native population. I think that Europe doesn’t have a very good sense of itself right now, and you see that reflected in various measures of economic and cultural stagnation," he said in...

Vice President JD Vance had two choice words for racist troll Nick Fuentes and others like MSNBC host Jen Psaki, who have made revolting comments about the second lady: “Eat s–t.” “Let me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s–t,” Vance told UnHerd in an interview published Sunday. “That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.” Fuentes, a 27-year-old, far-right white supremacist and Holocaust denier, called Vance a “race traitor” for being married to Usha Vance, the daughter of two Indian immigrants, and has used...

It took me several minutes to stop laughing long enough to share this. Tough talk, Sandy. As reported by Fox News, the question was prompted by a recent poll that showed AOC edging out Vance in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is incorporating Gen Z messaging and viral jabs at Vice President J.D. Vance into her playbook as she builds momentum for a 2028 presidential run, a Republican political strategist has claimed. The strategist's comments came after the New York Democrat used meme-style language and mocked Vance on Dec. 17 over a poll and declared she would 'stomp him'...

"Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact the @USEEOC as soon...

Reading political tea leaves three years before an election is a bit like predicting the weather for your 2028 summer vacation—entertaining, perhaps, but utterly useless for packing your bags. Yet here we are, with breathless headlines announcing that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has “taken the lead” over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical matchup. The progressive left is practically popping champagne.For those who haven’t followed their trajectories, the contrast between these two couldn’t be sharper. AOC burst onto the scene in 2018, unseating a longtime Democratic incumbent and quickly becoming the face of democratic socialism in America. The Green New Deal,...

Vice President JD Vance was questioned about White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles calling Vance a conspiracy theorist.Vance embraces the conspiracy label, defines how accurate it is, then delivers a strong set of remarks in defense of Susie Wiles. WATCH: The overall remarks themselves are not terribly toxic to the White House, but the question of why a chief of staff would sit down for eleven interviews over 11 months with Vanity Fair remains rather curious.What exactly did Susie Wiles expect was going to happen with all those recorded interviews?

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ruled out running for president in 2028 if Vice President JD Vance seeks the GOP nomination.“If JD Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him,” Rubio told author Chris Whipple in an interview published Tuesday by Vanity Fair.Rubio, 54, and Vance, 41, are widely viewed as the top two potential contenders to succeed term-limited President Trump on the Republican side.

Nicki Minaj has officially taken her political timeline into uncharted territory. The rapper sparked a firestorm this week after showering Vice President JD Vance with unexpected praise—while firing not-so-subtle shots at California Governor Gavin Newsom. The posts, which appeared across Minaj’s X account, pushed her increasingly vocal political leanings into the spotlight yet again. It all began when Vance chimed in on the long-running feud between Minaj and fellow rapper Cardi B. The 41-year-old Vice President didn’t tiptoe around his position. Instead, he jumped directly into pop-culture warfare with three simple characters: “Nicki > Cardi.” His post instantly lit up...

JD Vance has mocked a wild claim that he was spotted yelling at his wife Usha in a restaurant after an unverified image surfaced on social media.

Always has been. Apparently they were having an argument loud enough to quiet the...

Old video clips of Vice President JD Vance have resurfaced across social media following a horrific terror attack linked to an Afghan refugee on Wednesday— and for good reason. They provide an illuminating light following a violent strike on two National Guard members serving in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Both National Guardsmen remain in critical condition as of the latest reporting, after being ambushed by a gunman identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Vice President Vance fired back at Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday after the former Senate republican leader warned the Trump administration not to appease Russian President Vladimir Putin in the emerging Ukraine peace deal.“This is a ridiculous attack on the president’s team, which has worked tirelessly to clean up the mess in Ukraine that Mitch–always eager to write blank checks to Biden’s foreign policy–left us,” Vance wrote in a post on the social platform X.“I wonder if the three candidates to replace McConnell in Kentucky share his views here,” he continued.Vance was responding to a quote from McConnell, who...

Vice President JD Vance says that mass immigration under former President Joe Biden significantly skyrocketed the cost of rent and home prices.In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Vance attributed sky-high home prices to record-setting illegal immigration under Biden — noting that flooding the housing market increases prices on Americans, particularly those first-time home-buyers.“To me [this] is maybe the most important because I care so much about our young people being able to afford a good life, a lot of young people are saying, ‘Housing is way too expensive,'” Vance said: Why is that? Because we flooded the country...

Vice President J.D. Vance discussed the nation’s affordability crisis and the difficulty for young Americans to purchase homes during an interview with FOX News host Sean Hannity. "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive," Vance told Hannity. "Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens, and at the same time, we weren't building enough new houses to begin with even for the population that we had, so what we're doing is trying to make it easier to build...

John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, made his name spreading wild comments on social media — including with a series of creepy posts aimed at second lady Usha Vance. Schlossberg, who announced he’s running for Congress in New York’s 12th District, bizarrely joked that he’s “having a son” with JD Vance’s wife, professed his “love” for her and compared her “hotness” to his own grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The 32-year-old former Vogue political correspondent — who has more than 1.7 million followers across X, Instagram and TikTok — also has a history of crude and bizarre rants ranging from mocking...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is privately telling confidants that JD Vance is the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican nomination and that he’d support the vice president if he chose to run, according to two people close to the administration. Rubio’s private comments are a vivid example of how some Republicans are already gaming out a post-Trump succession battle, less than one year into the president’s term. The question of succession is especially relevant following Tuesday’s election results in which the GOP underperformed, leading to widespread concern that without Trump himself on the ballot, Republicans are unable to generate enough...
