JD Vance Heckled Over Gaza and Iran at Turning Point Event
US Vice President JD Vance faced anti-war heckling from young Republicans at a Turning Point USA event, highlighting growing dissent within the conservative movement regarding Middle East policy. Hecklers shouted accusations of genocide and killing children, to which Vance acknowledged Jesus Christ would not support genocide but credited the Trump administration with negotiating a ceasefire. While Vance recognized young voters’ dissatisfaction with current policies, he urged them to remain engaged rather than disengaged, emphasizing that increased involvement is how to “take the country back.” This event occurred amidst broader Republican Party criticism of the Iran war, with notable conservative activists like Tucker Carlson voicing opposition.
