Controversial MAGA influencer Laura Loomer put Vice President JD Vance on blast Tuesday after his closed-door Q&A at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas on Monday night was leaked.
During the conversation with RJC National Chairman Norm Coleman, a former U.S. Senator from Minnesota, Vance was asked about where he draws the line when it comes to associating with podcasters and other right-wing influencers who regularly platform anti-Semites – like Tucker Carlson.
Vance dodged answering about Carlson and instead focused his reply around a full-throated defense of why Republicans should engage with people like Joe Rogan, but not Nick Fuentes.
Loomer, a fervent critic of Carlson, was unimpressed with both Vance’s answer and the fact he made the event off-the-record, something rare for the setting.
“It was a big mistake as I said for the Vice President’s speech to be closed press and off the record. I conveyed this to his team as well,” Loomer wrote on X, adding:
While I was ultimately allowed inside where I listened to @JDVance, it was inevitable that people would record it and leak it to the media. Now there’s bad press when it could have just been a normal on the record talk broadcasted to the public.
I’ll say this again. The Tucker Carlson dilemma is an albatross around the neck of the Vice President no matter how much he claims to oppose “blood guilt”.
The people don’t want to hear Nick Fuentes’s name or even Joe Rogan’s name as a deflection from addressing Tucker, who just last week said Jews have no ties to America and appropriate American identity like a stolen skin suit.
We want to hear a strong condemnation of Tucker, and while I appreciate the Vice President showing up, I predicted the reaction would be exactly what it was days before as you can see below.
It could have been a 180 with a forceful condemnation of Tucker.
It’s not going away. Everyday Tucker escalates, and he’s going 3rd party to throw our country over to the left.
I said this over a year ago out of genuine care for our VP. Tucker is the kiss of death and we can’t dance around it.
Aside from that, I will say that the VP received a standing ovation by some attendees and the Israeli ambassador and @SenatorBanks had very positive comments about the Vice President before he spoke. He also received a lot of applause for his comments about immigration correlating with increased anti-Semitism.
