Donald Trump took back control of the Republican Party from the George Bush/Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan wing of the GOP.
But there are still a few Republicans in Congress who support endless wars overseas.
And Donald Trump Jr. flew into a rage when he heard what seven anonymous GOP Senators told the Fake News Media about J.D. Vance.
All hell broke loose in Washington, D.C. this week after The Atlantic published private Signal messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to a group chat named “Houthi PC small group.”
National Security Adviser Michael Waltz accidentally added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to a private chat where officials coordinated a strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
But while the debate centered around whether or not Hegseth released classified information, a group of seven RINO Senators focused their attention on J.D. Vance’s comments in the private Signal chat.
Vance expressed deep reservations about launching strikes in Yemen and recommending delaying for a month to see “where the economy is.”
“There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary,” Vance reportedly wrote. “The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message.”
“I am not sure the President is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now,” Vance wrote. “I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself, but there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.”
“If you think we should do it, let’s go,” Vance reportedly wrote. “I just hate bailing Europe out again.”
Vance expressing an America First foreign policy apparently ruffled the feathers of seven Republican Senators.
“Republican senators are privately expressing frustrations over Vice President JD Vance’s suggestion in a leaked group chat that the Houthis are more of a problem for Europe than the United States and his voicing of doubt that it was in the U.S.’ interest to strike the Iran-backed group in Yemen,” Jewish Insider reported. “Lawmakers have been publicly defending Vance for having reservations about the strikes and conveying those concerns to what he assumed was solely a group of senior Cabinet officials — but which actually included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.”
One GOP Senator told Jewish Insider off the record that “a number of Republican senators are very concerned about [his foreign policy views],” adding that “they think it’s quite revealing. It reveals a mindset that I’m sure is perplexing to our European allies.”
Another anonymously smeared Vance for supporting the “Tucker Carlson view of how to use military power.”
Donald Trump Jr. dropped the hammer on the seven Republicans who smeared his personal friend J.D. Vance.
“These seven cowardly neocons attacking JD anonymously are genuine p******,” Don Jr. wrote in a statement to the Jewish Insider. “If they really feel this way, then they should at least be man enough to put their names to these quotes,” he continued. “The fact that they are too cowardly to do that is exactly why I’m so happy that these RINOs are a dying breed in our party – whether they realize it or not.”
Donald Trump Jr. also slammed the Senators in a post on X where he put forth a theory that “the 7 RINO Senators anonymously crying about @JDVance to the leftist media are some of the same ones who have constantly trashed my father behind his back for years.”
How much do you want to bet that the 7 RINO Senators anonymously crying about @JDVance to the leftist media are some of the same ones who have constantly trashed my father behind his back for years? https://t.co/d1QX1DOx7p
