The Trump White House lashed out at MAGA loyalist Batya Ungar-Sargon after she called the deal stuck between the administration and Iran “humiliating.”

Ungar-Sargon, a NewsNation host, referred to the deal as “utter humiliation of the United States” and criticized Vice President JD Vance, who has been defending the deal in several interviews.

“JD Vance is out there criticizing Israel, making up fantasies about how it is Israel’s fault,” she said. “It is the complete Tucker Carlsonification of the Vice President of the United States, and it is utterly deplorable.”

Ungar-Sargon posted a clip of her remarks on Twitter, writing, “VP JD Vance just brought the US to its knees with a humiliating deal weeks before our 250th birthday and he has the audacity to blame … Israel!”

The White House’s official rapid-response account fired back with a nasty attack on the MAGA loyalist who regularly makes appearances on CNN NewsNight to humiliate herself with cultlike praises and defense of the administration or Trump himself.

“The only humiliation here is Batya desperately begging for an additional brain cell because her failing TV show is even more irrelevant than the likes of Kaitlan Collins and Fake Tapper,” wrote Rapid Response 47. “Only a moron of her caliber could still doubt President Trump’s leadership.”

Trump’s deal with Iran was met with bipartisan criticism, with some critics going as far as to say it was a surrender to Iran.

Among the provisions in Trump’s deal that were harshly criticized was the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran’s sale of oil and the plan for a $300 billion fund to rebuild Iran and its economy. In return, Iran promised to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which had already been open before the war, and to charge tolls for use of the critical waterway.
