Seven GOP Establishment Senators Anonymously Attack Vice President Vance

Hannah Knudsen 27 Mar 2025

Seven establishment Republican senators opted to anonymously attack Vice President JD Vance, earning critiques from the likes of Donald Trump Jr., who concluded that these are the same “cowardly neocons” and “genuine p*ssies” who have “constantly trashed” his father, President Donald Trump, over the years.

These establishment senators voiced their frustrations “privately” to the Jewish Insider. According to the outlet, they pointed to the remarks Vance made in the leaked Signal group chat via The Atlantic, taking issue with the vice president’s “suggestion … 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.’ [sic] interest to strike the Iran-backed group in Yemen.”

In other words, they are concerned that Vance has an “isolationist” rather than globalist worldview. One anonymous Republican senator told the outlet that “a number of Republican senators are very concerned.”

“They think it’s quite revealing. It reveals a mindset that I’m sure is perplexing to our European allies,” this individual continued, as another described Vance’s view as “very disappointing.”

“It was shocking to me that he didn’t see the need to strike back when they struck our naval vessels. That’s not a British problem or a European problem,” another anonymous lawmaker said. “Frankly, them striking our friends in Israel is more than enough justification.”

It's not isolationist, it's America-centric.

It only makes sense that American officials elected by the American people advocate for America interests.

I'm not a citizen of the U.N. nor of the 'World'.  I am an American citizen who wants his Government to advocate for America's interests and the interests of its People.

We should not let them get away with calling us isolationist.

If other countries want to conduct commerce, welcome, but America needs reciprocal benefit from the arrangement.  There's nothing wrong with that; that's business.

Trump is conducting American foreign policy and trade policy as a business, not as a charity or as a chump.

The VP is right.

another anonymous lawmaker said. “Frankly, them striking our friends in Israel is more than enough justification."

Nope.  It's America First --- it's neither Israel First nor Europe First.  Get used to it.

Credence should not be given to 'officials' hiding behind a cloak of anonymity.

If you have something to say, say it and put your name to it.  Otherwise, your comments lack the gravitas of public courage.

If you don't own it I'm not believing it. The press can't  be trusted to tell the truth.

Yet isn't that the exact policy being trumpeted by a lot of people on this site and on this topic?

Ukraine is none of our business.
Europe is none of our business.
Taiwan is none of our business.
NATO is none of our business.

I see these positions every day here.

And it's called isolationism.

"America First" also includes keeping the peace so we don't end up fighting another world war. Retreating from the world is a certain path to war. It always is.

While the events in those theaters will affect us, sooner or later, the question which remains is one of our level of involvement relative to the nations which sit just behind those borders, across from aggressor nations, who have depended on our defensive penumbra while they lecture us on suicidal energy and social policies.
This is a wake-up call for the nations of Europe, lest we end up saving their bacon again at the cost of countless American lives and trillions of dollars worth of materiel. If they wish to remain free from the neoSoviet, they need to use their wealth and capabilities to take a more active part in their own defense.
In the meantime, we're looking at the growing hegemony of the CCP in the Far East, and the almost inevitable war of conquest which will be launched there.
Our current position is hardly 'The Arsenal of Democracy', and we need to revitalize our own manufacturing and mining/resource sector, as we are far behind the curve, in mineral asset development, manufacturing, and especially in terms of a suitable workforce to build the implements of modern warfare.
This is a reflection of the damage done to American Education, to the fundamental skill levels of students for decades, and in contrast to the people who once built their own bulldozers in their garages/farm shops in the 50s.

Ukraine is none of our business.  Putin's expansionism becomes our business when it destabilizes our trading and security partners.  If we want to sell exports, we need stable and prosperous trading partners to sell them to.

Europe is none of our business.  Europe was none our business until Woodrow Wilson and American financial interests made it our business.  Our financial systems are integrated, which means America catches a cold when Europe sneezes.

Taiwan is none of our business.  Taiwan is our business because America has neglected national security supply chain risk management and diversification.

NATO is none of our business.  NATO needs to be less of our business and more of Europe's business.  NATO is a buffer between America and Europe's history of Continental imperialist warfare.  The Atlantic Ocean is not as big as a buffer as it used to be.

If America completely shuts out the world, the world will eventually break-in via a tsunami of refugees, foreign revolutionary extremism, financial crisis, economic malaise, and technological obsolescence.

I just want the American Government to stand up for, and fight for, the interests of the American People and American Business.  Too easily, Globalist intellectual elites have conceded entire industries to foreign competitors without the consideration of the socio-economic consequences and the impact to national security.

If America doesn't manufacture anything, there will be an under-employed, improverished under-class that will resort to crime and revolution.  America will not be able to sustain its military preparedness.

Intellectual Globalist elites have fallen into the Chinese Communist Party's trap to de-fang and de-claw America.  It was America's industrial and economic power that led the World out of two World Wars and the Cold War.  Intellectual Globalist elite 'fair trade' policy has weakened America and strengthened China.  How can there be 'fair' trade with a Totalitarian Communist Regime?  There can't.
