One audience member yelled at Vance that, \u201cJesus Christ does not support genocide!\u201d This was later followed by, \u201cYou\u2019re killing children! You\u2019re bombing children!\u201d The person also appeared to reference Israel\u2019s war with Hamas in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI recognize that young voters do not love the policy we have in the Middle East, OK,\u201d the vice president said. \u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vance mapped out the administration\u2019s successes \u2014 from Trump\u2019s immigration agenda to economic policies \u2014 before adding, \u201cI\u2019m not saying you have to agree with me on every issue. What I\u2019m saying is don\u2019t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGet more involved. Make your voice heard even more,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s how we ultimately take the country back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vice president said he agreed that \u201cJesus Christ does not support genocide\u201d and said the audience should be grateful for the temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. He added the administration has \u201ctried as much as we can to solve the problems, not just complain about them like the guy who just ran away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vance also took questions from the audience about the tensions between Trump and Pope Leo XIV. The pope has been outspoken against military aggression abroad and has condemned the U.S.-Israeli conflict in Iran. Trump has pushed back, accusing Leo of being \u201cweak\u201d on crime and claiming he would not have been chosen by last year\u2019s papal conclave had Trump not been president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vance, the second Catholic vice president in U.S. history, told Fox News on Monday the pope should \u201cstick to matters of morality, to stick to matters of what\u2019s going on in the Catholic Church and let the president of the United States stick to dictating American public policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Georgia, Vance said he welcomed Leo\u2019s dialogue and that \u201cat the very least, they invite conversation,\u201d The Associated Press reported. The vice president referred to the pope\u2019s criticisms of the war with Iran, saying there is \u201cmore than a thousand-year tradition of just-war theory, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, we can of course have disagreements about whether this or that conflict is just,\u201d he added. \u201cBut I think that it\u2019s important, in the same way that it\u2019s important for the Vice President of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it\u2019s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Vance on Tuesday defended President Trump\u2019s Middle East policy toward Iran and Gaza, saying young voters \u201cdo not love\u201d the president\u2019s actions in the region, during an event with Turning Point USA in Athens, Ga.
