*🇺🇸-Ettus: Vance Should Never Have Been Invited To The RJC Summit* A closed-door appearance by Vice President JD Vance at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s National Leadership Summit in Las Vegas is stirring a fast debate in the community. Vance spoke Monday night in a private fireside chat with RJC chairman Norm Coleman. He called the U.S.-Israel alliance one of America’s most important, said Jew-hatred is “corrosive to the soul,” and argued Republicans need a clearer case for why the relationship serves U.S. interests, especially among voters under 40. The part drawing the most heat is what he did not do. Asked about figures accused of platforming antisemitism, including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, and Nick Fuentes, Vance drew a hard line on Fuentes and said Rogan is a different category. He did not directly address Carlson. Some in the room gave standing ovations. RJC leaders called it progress. Others say the invite itself was the problem. That is the argument in a widely shared video from Samantha Ettus: Vance should not have been given the microphone, and last night’s remarks confirmed why.
