Veep In The Heep!

If Israel comes at me...

President Donald J. Trump and Republicans who back Israel are angry at Vice President JD Vance for saying the quiet part out loud. He literally said that he cares about American interests and not the interest of Israel.

Vance went on the Joe Rogan Experience and said that he felt like the president is  sidelining him as he was negotiating with the Iranians to end the aggression. 

While he agrees with the president on some of the issues they have with Iran, the vice president said that Israel and its influncers are trying to sabotage the talks.

He called them out and it led to MAGA feuding with MIGA.

Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and several Republican members have reacted.

During the interview, Vance claimed that a "literal foreign-influence campaign" funded by members of the Israeli government was attempting to sabotage the Trump administration's ongoing negotiations with Iran, while also admitting the administration "absolutely screwed up" its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Shapiro heavily slammed Vance, stating on social media that Vance “sounded like a Democrat” and mirrored the economics of Bernie Sanders and the foreign policy of Barack Obama. Shapiro criticized Vance's arguments against free markets and meritocracy as "weird and concerning," questioning his alignment with conservative principles ahead of the 2028 election cycle.

Levin and other "Israel First" hawks reacted with fury. According to political commentators, Levin’s wing of the movement has heavily gone after Vance, warning that donors and conservative groups will "take note" of his positions to potentially cut off political funding for a future 2028 presidential bid.

During a lengthy podcast interview with Joe Rogan released Wednesday, Vance pointed largely to former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who infamously stated that an alleged “client list” of Epstein’s was “sitting on my desk right now.” Epstein was a convicted sex offender who was known for his wide web of connections to the world’s elite.

In addition to those comments, the Justice Department under Bondi had also offered conservative commentators and influencers binders that were called “The Epstein files: Phase 1″ and “Declassified.”

“I know Pam. I like Pam. I don’t think there was anything malicious going on,” Vance told Rogan. “I think Pam was trying to respond to the political moment. I think she overstated what we had and what we didn’t have.”

As a result, Vance said, Bondi was “roasted” publicly for it and led people to “mistrust” the administration’s transparency efforts on the Epstein files.

“We absolutely screwed up the comms of the Epstein files. Like, we just did,” Vance said. “But do I think the reason we screwed up the comms is because we were trying to hide something? No.”

The controversy over the Epstein files dogged the administration for much of last year, with lawmakers eventually passing a measure that compelled the release of a massive trove of documents in the government’s possession related to its investigations of the disgraced financier. The Justice Department began releasing the documents in late December, which included photos, call logs, grand jury testimony and interview transcripts.
