In case you missed it, Donald Trump Jr. told Jewish Insider that certain anonymous Senate Republicans are "pussies" for privately criticizing Vice President JD Vance over his comments in a leaked Signal group chat between government officials.
The Daily Caller reported: "Some GOP senators have been anonymously expressing [aggrivation] over Vance’s voicing doubt in the group chat that it was in the U.S.’ best interest to attack Houthi targets in Yemen.
The report comes after The Atlantic Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg published a piece on Monday describing how he had accidentally been added into the group chat with cabinet officials, where Vance expressed some reservations about the attacks.
"I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now," Vance wrote in the Signal group chat, according to Goldberg.
"There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. 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."
One anonymous GOP senator told JI that they found it "very disappointing" that Vance did not share their threat assessment with regard to the Houthis.
"A number of Republican senators are very concerned about [his foreign policy views]," another anonymous GOP senator told JI. "They think it’s quite revealing. It reveals a mindset that I’m sure is perplexing to our European allies."
In response, Trump Jr. slammed the anonymous Republican senators as "cowardly" in a statement shared with the outlet.
"These seven cowardly neocons attacking J.D. anonymously are genuine pussies. If they really feel this way, then they should at least be man enough to put their names to these quotes," Trump Jr. told JI. "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."
