High-ranking government officials in the "Houthi PC small group chat" each had a clear group text personality type, BI's Katie Notopoulos says. There's JD Vance's derailing. Pete Hegseth's organizing. And Steve Witkoff's emoji-ing.

I'm a JD Vance

JD Vance, vice president: The derailer. Stumbles in half-aware of what's going on, makes an excuse for why they can't really be involved in the planning, and then — once the plan is nearly set — chimes in with some last-minute objection.

I'm a John Ratcliffe

John Ratcliffe, director of the CIA: The credit-seeker. This is the person who didn't read the book for the group project but is trying to make sure they chime in to get credit for it.
