J.D. Vance’s Doomed Quest to Build a Bridge between the Anti-Semites and the Republican Mainstream
He will only hand the radicals a victory.
Last week, Vice-President J.D. Vance appeared on the very popular podcast of Joe Rogan, a former comedian and martial-arts commentator. Rogan fits neither into the left nor the right; often interviews prominent figures in politics, business, and entertainment, as well as the occasional crank; and appears susceptible to the most deranged conspiracy theories—including those about Jews. Thus the two spent much time on Jeffrey Epstein, who, Vance stated, “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence,” and so forth. Parsed with lawyerly precision, his comments were just vague enough to be defensible; but they gave much credence to various absurd hypotheses that have emerged out of the darker corners of the Internet. The vice-president used a similar tactic in complaining about Israeli influence on the progress of the Iran war.
