US EditionShapiro: Vance ‘Has Offered Comfort’ to ‘Antisemites on the Right’
Shapiro criticized Vance for failing to explicitly mention Jewish victims in his Holocaust post, linking it to Vance's past right-wing ties amid rising GOP antisemitism concerns.
- On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro criticized Vice President JD Vance for omitting Jewish victims in a Holocaust Remembrance Day post, saying Vance had `offered comfort` to right-wing antisemites this week.
- While on his book tour, Shapiro spoke at the 92nd Street Y in New York City and in an NBC News interview Tuesday, criticizing Vance's Dachau post featuring him and the Second Lady last year.
- Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said it `takes effort` to omit six million Jews in a Holocaust statement, while Tablet Magazine criticized Vance and allies like Sam Markstein defended him.
- Vance's office declined to comment and a Vance spokesperson called Shapiro's remarks a `next level hypocritical deflection from Shapiro, a misguided plea for attention from a political lightweight`, noting Shapiro's own X post also omitted explicit mention of Jewish lives lost.
- In recent months, the issue of antisemitism has roiled the right, with Sen. Ted Cruz, R‑Texas, warning of rising antisemitism in the Republican Party's right‑wing coalition and Shapiro urging expanded Holocaust education and firm leadership against it.
