US Vice President JD Vance rejects calls for him to sever his relationship with right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson as the latter is increasingly accused of antisemitism.
“Tucker is a friend, despite the fact that we disagree on a number of things, and I’m not going to play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements with them,” Vance says in response to a question on the matter during a White House press briefing.
