Onlookers alarmed as conservative sets up JD Vance for 'stab in the back' on Fox News
Narrative Analysis: Name Calling
The memorandum of understanding President Donald Trump brokered to negotiate an end to the Iran war is already being harshly panned by many on the right — and some are beginning to set up Vice President JD Vance to take the fall.This pivot was demonstrated clearly on Fox News Wednesday, as GOP personality Ben Shapiro unloaded on the vice president.This MOU appears to be a disaster that does not achieve any of the actual goals set by the administration at the beginning, he said. The Vice President, the chief negotiator on this project, has not well served the president.Shapiro's reaction got noticed by many observers on social media — many of whom noted that Vance wasn't even responsible for negotiating the deal, and he opposed the war with Iran from the beginning, but that none of that seems to matter in MAGA world.There it is, said Missouri Democratic congressional candidate Fred Wellman. Vance didn't negotiate this, but he is the designated bus target because it was actually Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff who Trump will never turn on. This is the setup they always wanted. I love this for Vance because he thought he would be the one who survives.Stab-in-the-back 2026: The process begins on the right of blaming @VP, not Trump nor the original Trump/Netanyahu conviction that war could break Iran to their demands, for the failure of the war to achieve what Trump allies promised it would (actually had promised for years), said Bloomberg Opinion writer Ronald Brownstein.Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) had a blunt message: Shame on you @benshapiro. This isn’t on Vance. This humiliating foreign policy debacle/disaster is on Trump. This is Trump’s [expletive] up, and only Trump’s [expletive] up. Have the guts to say that.
