US Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) publicly rebuked Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday, saying Vance's claim that the US founded Israel is "simply not true" and that the remarks were "extraordinarily disrespectful." Fine suggested Vance needs to study history.
US Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) escalated his criticism of Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday morning, directly attacking Vance's assertion that the United States founded Israel. 'He said Israel was established by the United States. That's simply not true. In my opinion, what he said was extraordinarily disrespectful,' Fine stated. He added: 'I think JD Vance should go study history.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (09:37 Jerusalem), Fine had previously called Vance's wording and tone toward Israel 'hostile' and said the Vice President sometimes seemed to forget 'who the bad guys and who the good guys are.' The new remarks widen the rift between a prominent Jewish Republican congressman and the sitting Vice President, amid a broader debate over the US-Iran deal and Vance's public skepticism of Israel as a partner.
