Vance downplays concerns about antisemitism on the right

Vice President JD Vance said he doesn't see "simmering antisemitism that’s exploding" among young conservatives, even as some Republicans raise concerns about such views gaining traction on the right.

Vance in an NBC interview said "I think it’s kind of slanderous to say that the Republican Party, the conservative movement, is extremely antisemitic.”

The antisemitism debate has raged on the right after conservative media figure Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes has a history of promoting racist and extremist views. Carlson didn't push back during their interview when Fuentes said Jews are not loyal Americans.

Fuentes said "the main challenge to" unifying the country is "organized Jewry in America."

Once again, JD proving that having a degree from Yale Law School doesn't mean you're smart, it only means you went there and graduated.
