At a closed Republican Jewish Coalition gathering in Las Vegas, Vice President JD Vance addressed conservative Jewish donors who have questioned his attachment to Israel, his foreign policy pragmatism, and his ties to media personalities accused of antisemitism. In conversation with former Sen. Norm Coleman, Vance was asked how he separates such interviewers from people like Nick Fuentes who deny the Holocaust. He said his line is drawn against holding individuals blameworthy solely because of their ancestry or blood, and he placed Joe Rogan and Fuentes in entirely different categories while stopping short of criticizing Tucker Carlson. He also called Israel a vital U.S. ally, expressed concern that younger Americans are skeptical of the relationship, and said antisemitism can grow when ethnic feuds are brought into the country. Vance is a likely 2028 contender, and his reception at the event was closely watched.
