John Gregory Vincent
Nothing verified has Vincent taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. Statements attributed to him turned out to be other politicians’ own posts, none mentioning him. His campaign site does not address these questions.
Vincent, a retired Navy command master chief, is the Democratic nominee in South Carolina’s 7th District, challenging Rep. Russell Fry.
Our research turned up strong-sounding material: Gaza described as an "unspeakable genocide", the U.S. providing "bombs and political cover", criticism of America becoming "an explicit military partner of Israel". But every source for those quotes is a different politician’s Facebook page: Rep. Melanie Stansbury’s, Rep. Mike Thompson’s, and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez’s own posts, none mentioning Vincent. None of it is his, and none of it is used here. The one item from his own account is a post about a campaign stop.
What remains verified is an absence: no statement of his on aid to Israel, aid to Palestinians, the conflict, or antisemitism was located. His campaign site’s about page and county-party profile carry his biography without tracked-topic content. If he has said these things in his own posts, send them in: they go on this page in his own words.
