JD Vance Courts Jewish Republicans. Tucker Carlson Still Looms.
Vance refused to criticize Carlson after being asked about podcasters who have amplified antisemitic figures, underscoring his long alliance with the former Fox News host.
- On Monday, Vice President Vance refused to condemn Tucker Carlson during a fireside chat at the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, despite being questioned about the former Fox News host's history of platforming antisemites.
- Carlson lobbied Donald Trump to select Vance as running mate, and has increasingly featured what critics describe as antisemitic rhetoric, including suggestions of 'white genocide' earlier this year.
- Rep. Don Bacon asserted, 'The Vice President should absolutely disavow Tucker Carlson's anti-Semitism,' while Randy Fine warned that antisemitism remains unacceptable in the Republican Party.
- This refusal contrasts with Sen. Ted Cruz , another potential 2028 candidate who has repeatedly criticized Carlson's anti-Israel comments, a distinction that could influence major donors like Miriam Adelson in the 2028 primary.
- While Vance has previously denounced white nationalist Nick Fuentes, his hesitation to split from Carlson complicates his efforts to solidify support among Jewish voters amid the party's internal divisions on antisemitism.
