Vice President JD Vance is facing backlash once again, this time after a disturbing encounter with pro-Ukrainian protesters.
While out for a walk with his three-year-old daughter in Cincinnati, protesters got dangerously close, shouting at the family.
Vance didn’t hold back on X, delivering a sharp two-word rebuke to those who threaten children.
Verbal confrontation
Vice President JD Vance has been in the spotlight in recent weeks, with his stance on the war in Ukraine sparking strong reactions. The most notable moment came when Vice President JD Vance confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, alongside Donald Trump.
His criticism towards Zelenskyy hasn’t gone unnoticed, and pro-Ukrainian voices have been quick to express their displeasure, leading to verbal confrontation.
One of these incidents unfolded on Saturday when Vance was strolling through his residential neighborhood, pushing his daughter Mirabel in a stroller, accompanied by Secret Service agents. Cell phone footage showed Vice President JD Vance being confronted by pro-Ukrainian protesters.
”My daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared,” JD Vance shared.
The protesters, part of a group shouting “Slava Ukraini” (Glory to Ukraine), aggressively followed the family and screamed at Vance.
In a post on X, Vance shared that he politely asked the protesters to “leave my toddler alone,” and nearly all of them agreed, realizing how inappropriate it was to target a child.
