U.S. Vice President JD Vance was interrupted by a heckler accusing the administration of committing genocide in Gaza during a Turning Point USA event on Tuesday. Before the protester was removed, Vance defended the current administration’s record, crediting President Donald Trump with brokering regional peace and blaming former President Joe Biden for the initial humanitarian crisis. During his wide-ranging address, Vance also discussed ongoing negotiations with Iran, noting that a fragile ceasefire is holding while the U.S. pursues a comprehensive “big deal.” Additionally, the Vice President pushed back against recent anti-war remarks from Pope Leo XIV, arguing that God has historically supported righteous military action.
