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.
Using his own kids as a political prop, of course.
I hope they were armed to the teeth and you piss your bed from nightmares for the rest of your pathetic life.
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.
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?
Never before have I wished I were back in Cincinnati.
LOL, “confronted”.
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.
They always need to be the victim in every interaction even if they weren’t.
Republicans didn’t seem too concerned when a Democrat was confronted by a guy with a hammer who attempted to kill him, in fact it was a big joke with them.
Yeah, they proceeded to make it out like it was some gay affair, too, thinking that was really hilarious.
They don’t give a fuck about decorum and civility and all that. They just take umbrage with their people even being questioned at all. They think the right thing to do is everyone just rolls over because they won in the slimmest of majorities and that this gives them a “mandate” to do whatever wild shit they want. And everyone else should just shut up and make themselves invisible. Fuck that noise.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
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.
It’s not like he’s facing prison or anything.
Confronted. lol. He needs to actually be confronted, in a deposition.
Not the ideal version of “depose” but okay
Oh, it is…
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!
If I was this guy I would have moved my family like they were in witness protection. The chance of them being collateral damage is just too high.
Though he referred to walking his daughter like walking a dog. So he probably doesn’t care much.
I could be wrong but I don’t think that they are as unhinged as MAGA storming the capitol.
Nut up you fucking pussy.
Vance is a verified unabashed fucking liar.
Where’s the proof this happened? Where was his secret service detail?
Remember his fabricated story about Haitians in Ohio? I call Bullshit 💩
Yeah he wasn’t in any danger, otherwise this would be bigger news.
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…
JD Vance is a little colicky piss baby
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.
No he knows just a little how ukrainian parents feel every day
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.
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.
So Vance just so happened to be “walking his daughter” near a group of Ukrainian protestors? The secret service didn’t have the capability to look down the street he wanted to walk down and say “maybe we should take another route”?
Or did he purposely take his young daughter near a polite-looking group of protestors just so he could have a low-risk confrontation as fuel to demonize his detractors online?
I hope to God she was wearing a leash for everyone’s safety.
I hope it was attached to someone more competent than her father. Like a roomba.
