Vice President JD Vance faced backlash for defending racist, antisemitic messages in a leaked Young Republican chat, dismissing criticism and deflecting with partisan comparisons.
Vice President JD Vance drew widespread criticism for defending a leaked Telegram chat among Young Republican leaders that contained racist, anti-Semitic, and violent remarks, including jokes about gas chambers and rape.
Instead of condemning the messages, Vance dismissed the backlash as “pearl clutching,” compared the chat to a college group chat, and pointed to past offensive messages from a Democratic candidate, Jay Jones, to deflect criticism.
His response was widely condemned as a moral evasion and partisan deflection, with critics across the political spectrum arguing that hate speech should not be excused simply because it exists on both sides.
The incident has intensified scrutiny over extremism within the Republican Party and the ethical standards of its leaders.
