The following is a transcript of an interview with Sen. J.D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, that aired on Oct. 29, 2023.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face The Nation. Ohio Republican senator J.D. Vance joins us now, in-studio. Good morning, and good to have you here face to face.SENATOR J.D.
McCONNELL, MINORITY LEADER OF THE U.S. Stepping up, but I think there's still a lot of evidence with a lot of these international organizations that when we send aid into Gaza, a lot of it goes into the wrong hands. And that's what those of us who are critical of the President's posture are really worrying about. We don't want to basically fund two sides of the exact same conflict. Fund Hamas, fund Israel. It seems like a really bad deal for American taxpayers. Most of all, it's just stupid.
I don't trust Hamas on the ground. And I certainly think the international organizations, look, some of them are good people, some of them actually have some compromised positions. We can't assume that just because it flows to international organization, it's gonna go to the kids and not to the fighters. MARGARET BRENNAN: You've been very critical of President Biden's response to Iran and its proxy forces and the threats they pose to our troops.
Sure. MARGARET BRENNAN: Doesn't that trouble you? Because there are people who would say maybe there should be strings attached to some of this aid. Do you have an open checkbook for Israel?SEN. Well, nothing is objectionable in the sense that if I could wave a magic wand and throw Putin out of Ukraine, I would, but what we have to accept is there's a difference between what should happen and what can happen. America has limited capacity. Just in the Israeli conflict, for example, there are 300,000 artillery shells, the Israelis would love to have access to. They don't have access to them. Why? Because we sent them to Ukraine.
