Overview

  • Vice President JD Vance criticized Jewish Insider and its editor-in-chief Josh Kraushaar, calling the outlet biased and labeling Kraushaar 'the biggest hack in Washington.'
  • The controversy stems from a Jewish Insider article that highlighted Vance’s reluctance to support U.S. military strikes in Yemen, sparking debate within the GOP over foreign policy direction.
  • Vance pointed out a factual error in the article, which incorrectly attributed the deaths of three U.S. service members to Houthi rebels; Jewish Insider has since issued a correction.
  • The leaked Signal chat logs, mistakenly shared with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, revealed Vance’s concerns about U.S. involvement in Yemen, citing European interests and potential gas price increases.
  • Donald Trump Jr. defended Vance, criticizing anonymous GOP sources in the article and praising Vance’s non-interventionist stance as reflective of a shift within the Republican Party.
