US Vice President JD Vance rebuffed an accusation that Israel is perpetrating a genocide in Gaza, but lamented the lack of humanity from some on his side of the aisle who don’t recognize the ongoing suffering of Palestinians in the war-torn enclave.

“I see these videos, I see the pictures, and it’s very heartbreaking,” Vance says after comedian Theo Von raises what he describes as “horrific” footage coming out of Gaza while interviewing the vice president for his podcast last week.
