"My grandfather fought in World War II, He went over on Omaha Beach. He saw the despicable things that the Nazis did to not just the Jewish people, but to other countries and other races along the way. He went into a concentration camp. He was a gentleman that you never ate Hershey's chocolate around because of the story that he tells about going inside a concentration camp."
"Responding to the controversy on X, Vance provided screenshots of Jones's text messages and wrote, This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl-clutching when powerful people call for political violence. He later doubled down on his defense of the chat during an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show."
Senator Markwayne Mullin criticized Vice President JD Vance for defending a leaked Young Republicans group chat containing racist and offensive comments. Mullin said he would never let his children joke in that manner and called such remarks a hard stop, citing his grandfather's World War II service, Omaha Beach landing, and imprisonment in a concentration camp as reasons the subject is not joking matter. Mullin noted that those who made the remarks had been fired and denounced, and contrasted conservative responses with Democrats' failure to disavow Jay Jones. Vance posted screenshots of Jones's messages, called them worse than a college group chat, and refused to join "pearl-clutching," later reiterating his defense on The Charlie Kirk Show.
