flag In January 2026, VP JD Vance drew backlash for defending antisemitic views in conservatism, sparking condemnation from Jewish leaders and lawmakers.

flag Vice President JD Vance faced criticism in January 2026 for downplaying antisemitism within the conservative movement, stating the movement shouldn’t exclude those with antisemitic views. flag His comments, made during an interview with Scott Jennings, drew backlash from Jewish conservatives and religious leaders like Laurie Cardoza-Moore, who accused Vance of enabling hate by associating with figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes. flag Carlson has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories, including claims that Israel orchestrated 9/11, and has featured figures like Ian Carroll, a Holocaust revisionist, without condemnation from Vance or Trump. flag Critics, including Daniel Flesch of the Heritage Foundation, called Vance’s response inadequate, while Israeli lawmakers publicly rebuked Carlson and Owens, highlighting growing tensions over antisemitism in conservative media and politics.
