Vice President-elect J.D. Vance responded to the Syrian rebels’ stunning takeover of the Middle Eastern country earlier Sunday, expressing concern about the new leadership but reiterating President-elect Donald Trump‘s stance that the United States should not get involved.

On X, Vance was responding to a post from a Washington Post columnist that praised the collapse of Bashar al Assad’s regime, saying that opinions lauding the rebels, who are an offshoot of Al Qaeda, make him “nervous.”

“As President Trump said, this is not our fight and we should stay out of it. Aside from that, opinions like the below make me nervous. The last time this guy was celebrating events in Syria we saw the mass slaughter of Christians and a refugee crisis that destabilized Europe,” Vance said.

He added, “Many of ‘the rebels’ are a literal offshoot of ISIS. One can hope they’ve moderated. Time will tell.”

Well, it is refreshing in 43 days we will actually have a VP that is concerned about this country and can communicate effectively rather than having a VP rambling off with word salad about nothing.

We shouldn't get involved. Countdown to Joey getting involved 3...2...1.
