Jewish radio host says he 'charmed' JD Vance after previous criticism for wavering Israel support
The highly publicized meeting occurred amid Vance’s attempt to make overtures to the Jewish community following a series of controversial remarks about Israel.
Jewish radio host Sid Rosenberg expressed surprise and optimism after meeting with Vice President JD Vance, despite previously criticizing Vance's stance on Israel. Rosenberg stated that he had low expectations for the meeting, but left feeling charmed by Vance and optimistic about working together. The meeting came after Vance's remarks about Trump potentially opposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which led to controversy.
Vance had also previously met with Republican Jewish Coalition members and spoke at a technology conference, where he affirmed his commitment to Israel's security. Despite initial criticism from Rosenberg, the revised meeting left Rosenberg feeling positive about the potential for collaboration between Vance and the Jewish community.
