'A growing cancer': The right's growing acknowledgment of its own antisemitism

(CNN) Vice President JD Vance last week presented the Republican Party and the conservative movement with a fork in the road. They could either denounce the increasing examples of racist, antisemitic and extremist rhetoric in their ranks, or they could whatabout them away.

Vance suggested the latter course. Responding to newly published vile text messages from Republican officials and staff, he pointed to violent texts from Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones.

“I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence,” Vance said.
