JD Vance was notable in his absence from Donald Trump’s triumphant appearances in the Middle East on Monday.

However, on home soil, the vice president took the time to troll one of the commander-in-chief’s oldest political foes on social media.

His taunting comments came after Senator Elizabeth Warren shared her relief at the release of the Israeli hostages kidnapped on October 7, 2023, by Hamas.

“For two excruciating years, I have called for the return of the hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza,” Warren wrote. “Today is a good day.

“Surviving Israeli hostages are finally home and reuniting with loved ones.

“I’m thinking of them and their families on this joyful day and praying for their full recovery.”

She also added that "humanitarian aid” needs to be supported in flowing into Gaza.

However, Vance hit back at Warren with a barb on X.

“The president told me he did this on Indigenous Peoples Day in honor of you,” he said, in reference to Trump calling Warren "Pocahontas."

Elon Musk posted two laughing emojis underneath a screenshot of Vance’s post, which has been shared by an X user who said they “will be voting for JD Vance when he runs.”

The "Pocahontas" nickname originated during a feud between Warren and Trump about the senator’s heritage. Warren had claimed to have Native American ancestry dating back six to 10 generations.

After releasing a DNA test to prove her heritage, Warren later apologized to the Cherokee Nation, who said it is “inappropriate” to use genetic tests to lay claim to a tribal nation.

In a press release, a Cherokee Nation spokesperson said that they hoped that the incident would lead to an “end” to “slurs and mockery” being targeted at Native Americans.

Despite this, Trump has continued to jab Warren by calling her "Pocahontas."

Vance’s comments came during his conspicuous absence from the historic day unfolding in the Middle East, which saw the release of all the Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas.

Trump was warmly received after landing at Ben Gurion International Airport, with delegates from around the world praising him for landing a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

Vance was last seen Sunday, when he clashed with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos over a scandal that has hit Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar.

Stephanopoulos referenced a video in which Homan allegedly accepts $50,000 from an FBI agent while offering to help connect interested parties with lucrative federal contracts related to law enforcement.

“I'm asking you, did he accept the $50,000 that was caught on the surveillance tape?” Stephanopoulos asked Vance. “Did he accept that $50,000 or not?”

“George, I don't know what you're talking about. Did he accept $50,000 for what?” Vance responded.

Stephanopoulos went on to explain the video and asked whether Homan kept the money, which he was allegedly given.

“Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? The FBI has not prosecuted him,” Vance replied.

Homan has denied the allegations, telling a reporter from NewsNation that they were “b******t.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has also said that, “The president stands by Tom Homan 100 percent because he did absolutely nothing wrong.”
