Fox News host Brian Kilmeade lost it, calling for President Donald Trump to replace JD Vance as Iran negotiator — blasting his Israel criticism as “ridiculous.”
On Fox & Friends, Kilmeade unloaded on Vice President JD Vance after Vance warned Israeli cabinet members Thursday that Trump is “the only powerful ally” they have “anywhere left in the entire world.” The remarks came as U.S. and Iranian negotiators were deep into a 60-day sprint to flesh out the memorandum of understanding the two countries signed last week.
“The president’s gotta go on the inside,” Kilmeade said, “because then the negotiators are wasting their time. No one’s happy with this document. The president doesn’t seem to be happy.”
“The fact that he hopped on Friday and started ripping Israel and said they have no friends — that is ridiculous!” Kilmeade continued. “Have you heard of the Abraham Accords? Do you understand that the Gulf States are tighter with Israel than ever before?”
He then demanded Trump take over directly — and called Vance out by name.
“I think JD Vance, who’s late to this party, doesn’t understand the depth of the disagreement,” Kilmeade said.
MS NOW reported this week that Vance has compounded his inexperience with a series of false claims — including insisting that the deal’s terms for destroying Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile are “spelled out very clearly,” when the memorandum of understanding includes no such provisions. Vance repeated the claim even after it was discredited.
The vice president arrived Sunday at the Lake Lucerne Summit in Switzerland — where U.S. negotiators sat across from Iran’s foreign minister and parliamentary speaker — but PBS reported Trump threatened to “hit Iran very hard again” on social media while talks were underway.
Fox & Friends contributor Lawrence Jones, who spoke with Trump over the weekend, said the president told him privately the memorandum of understanding “was a starting point” — and that if Iran kept pushing him, “I gotta strike them.”
