Demonstrators who questioned the vice president say he fabricated his account of the latest confrontation following a widely condemned Oval Office meeting with Zelensky
Summary
JD Vance claimed pro-Ukraine protesters harassed him and his daughter in Cincinnati, but demonstrators say they merely passed him en route to a protest.
Video shows a civil exchange where Vance defended U.S. withdrawal from Ukraine aid, contradicting Trump’s stance on Russia’s invasion.
Critics accused Vance of using his child to deflect backlash over his role in a heated Oval Office meeting with Zelensky.
Protests against his Ukraine policy continue as Russia escalates attacks, with demonstrations held in Washington, D.C., and Europe.
I'd prefer his version of events, honestly. Why do these fuckers ever get a moment of peace? Life should be made as difficult as possible for them, for every facet that we still have control over.
As a parent this really hits home. I can remember vividly the time I was harassed, 6-month-old in my arms, when I cut off desperately needed funding. I was literally causing death and misery, all because I thought a ruthless foreign dictator was kind of a cool dude. If we were both threatened and harassed for being massive turd nuggets, where does it end? /s
It's like you can't betray your allies and turn your country into a fascist shithole anymore. Well you can, but then some woke mob will calmly tell you that what you're doing is bad and I don't want my children being around that negativity!
What fucking snowflakes these assholes are. I've seen the video. More like "asked pointed questions and I am too much of a gigantic man-baby to deal with consequences like that".
FUCK YOU and every single asshole that voted for you.
This is even lamer than his usual couch theatrics about feigning being "diSrEspeCtEd!!!1!!!". This comes off as Vance being this soft and weak couch potato who feels threatened even by the sight of signs. Considering how little concern he showed about Ukrainian children being "confronted" by russian missiles, he is now eligible for my prayers. He still have to work for my thoughts though.
Pretty sure you can see his security detail in the video. Most of the people seem to be elderly, shuffling around and you hear someone off-camera asking questions.
He's a fucking baby. If any of these grandmas suddenly had a notion of doing something violent, I'm sure "JD" "Vance" would have been just fine...
Good. This administration should continue to be confronted and challenged on their stupidity. They are, and never should be, free from receiving criticism for their stances, and using the child to deflect from the real questions being asked is a cop out and completely on brand.
I bet the three year old has a more objective view on Ukraine anyway. The press should be interviewing them instead of JD.
Children do not make you immune from criticism. If you're afraid of your child hearing that you're a collossal piece of shit, leave it at home or get out of politics.
Despite my… unpopular view on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
I’d like to say that this is nonsense. His street was closed off with massive police presence yet he deliberately took his kid to confront the protesters when he had many other options.
This reminds of the way Klan Mom and her pedo side-kick Gaetz acted when they were followed around and asked questions. The way they think it should work is that they get to call liberals [1] any and all names in the book. Also they get to defend the J6 terrorists that they call "political prisoners", and others should not even be able to be heard in their response to these monsters. And if the opposition IS heard, and they are shouted down, they'll cry endlessly about it and talk about their "free speech". Even when assholes like this can get on the likes of Faux "News" nearly any time with one phone call, while their opposition cannot.
[1] "Liberals", meaning, anyone that doesn't have their lips around the shaft of the mini-mushroom.
Republicans have t thought of government officials like that for decades, they view the politicians they vote for as their boss.
Someone who tells them what to do/think, and they align their values to trump
Neoliberals have spent 30 years trying to get Dems to think the same way, where instead of a politician working for their voters and then being accountable to them, they want voters to work for them and never question their stances. They want us to be like Republicans and take the stances of our politicians instead.
The thing is there are very real and very noticable differences in the brains between conservatives and liberals, what works on Republican voters just won't win enough liberal voters for that strategy to work.
The only reason it worked in 2020 was people gave Biden the benefit of the doubt.
But lots of Dem voters never got over Biden saying that anyone who thought he could accomplish anything with simple House and Senate majorities were ignorant of American politics. After the reason we got the 50/50 split was the entire nation donating in the runoffs so we could get it.
So while I agree, its important to point out neither side has been nominating politicians who view themselves as public servants for a very very long time.
Sucks to suck, maybe you should think about consequences before becoming a nazi.
Oh and he even pulled out the "use my daughter as sympathy bait" card. Classic snowflake!
Wow if that’s how upset he is over a potential minor emotional trauma for his child I wonder how he would feel about her living in Ukraine under bombings?
He hasn't even gotten to the stupid prizes part yet and he's already whining. Being asked questions on the street about awful things you've said and done - seems like the most mild of experiences and a critical part of democracy.
You can see the video. It seems like an extremely mild bunch of people asking him questions he was uncomfortable about.
He's just whining. I'm remembering how the qons were acting like it was 9/11 2.0 when Huckabee was....checks notes....denied a fucking cheese plate at a restaurant that didn't want to be seen endorsing these monsters.
I also remember something in the first little d term where some con was joined on the sidewalk, and people around him walked along with him, asking questions he didn't like. He acted like he was this close to be abducted by terrorists. I can't remember if that was Tucker or what, but it was some right wing douche clutching their pearls over a big fucking nothing.
No, he really does not, not in any way. Or if he does, he doesn't care. He's a soulless, power-mad sociopath, with no more human feeling than a cockroach has.
Wrong. Ukranian parents have to worry about literal bombs falling on them every single day. I cannot suggest what would have to be done to JD Vance and his family for him to feel what Ukranian parents feel every day without getting a visit from the Secret Service myself.
