US EditionVance Faces Backlash for Holocaust Post Omitting Jews and Nazis
Vice President JD Vance's statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day omitted references to Jews and Nazis, sparking criticism from Jewish groups over his stance on antisemitism.
- On Tuesday, JD Vance posted a Holocaust Remembrance message that failed to mention Jews or Nazis and included photos from a Dachau Concentration Camp memorial site visit last year with Usha Vance.
- Vance's prior remarks have repeatedly raised concern about his hesitancy to call out antisemites in the conservative movement, and he said at a Turning Point USA conference, `We have far more important work to do than canceling each other.`
- Reaction included a prominent tweet from Halie Soifer and Tablet, the Jewish digital magazine, swiftly criticized Vance's post, which Cameron Kasky retweeted across the Jewish political spectrum.
- The omission contrasted with other commemorations in which Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the White House explicitly mentioned Jews or antisemitism, amid partisan disputes over Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's Holocaust comparisons.
- American Jewish groups have anxiously parsed Vance's approach to antisemitism, while critics cite his immigration stance and ties to conservative figures like Tucker Carlson.
