Allies of JD Vance are scrambling to assure voters that any MAGA revolt against the vice president is entirely fake and coordinated by his enemies.

Vance, 41, has spent seven days under fire from the online right, where his detractors are rallying behind a “Never Vance” banner, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/07/24/knives-are-out-vance-gop-his-allies-say-its-coordinated-op/" rel="">the Washington Post reports.

They’re calling him “unfit” for the job over his push for an Iran peace deal.

Some even compare him to former President Barack Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

One close ally told the newspaper it was “obvious to anyone with an IQ above 70” that the pile-on has been “totally inauthentic and probably coordinated to a certain extent.” That person and two others familiar with Vance’s strategy discussed internal thinking with the newspaper only on condition their names weren’t revealed.
