JD Vance says Trump clashed with former officials for refusing to engage in 'ridiculous war'
Fox News
Sen. JD Vance made assertions about why John Kelly and other former officials are now opposing former President Trump after serving in his administration.
Vance charged that Kelly and other critics like former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney disagree with Trump on policy and are "conservative in the sense that they want America to get involved in a ton of ridiculous military conflicts – they wanted America to police the world, and Donald Trump wasn't."

Tapper pushed back on this, noting that Kelly's son died in the war in Afghanistan. Vance, a Marine veteran, defended his position, saying, "I know John Kelly's worldview," and stating that while he honors Kelly's son and his family's sacrifice, "that doesn't mean he wasn't wrong about policy."
