MILAN (AP) — American athletes received an enthusiastic welcome at the opening ceremony for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, but the mood shifted when cameras briefly turned to Vice President JD Vance.
Led by speedskater and flag bearer Erin Jackson, Team USA was among the last delegations to enter Milan’s San Siro stadium in the parade of nations on Friday.
The crowd cheered for the Americans but jeers and whistles could be heard as Vance and his wife, second lady Usha Vance, were shown on the stadium screens, waving American flags from the tribune.
Support for the U.S. among its allies has been eroding as the Trump administration has taken an aggressive posture on foreign policy, including punishing tariffs, military action in Venezuela and threats to invade Greenland.
Jeers also rang out when Israel’s delegation entered the stadium.

Screw them.
Without the Russians there, the medals are tainted anyway.
The joke is on them.
Vance likely will wear jeers from Europeans as a Badge of Honor.
Those aholes have no idea what’s about to/or has happened to them as a result of liberalism. Screw em
Associated Press. Nuff said.
The Olympics are just a big globalist circle jerk now.
It was better when The Cold War was still going on.
The ‘booing’ was probably from all of the ‘refugees’ they’ve allowed in. Who are no doubt able to afford to attend due to the generosity of their virtuous and empathetic European hosts.
How many American soldiers’ lives were lost defending Europe from Hitler? And this is how they repay us? I have many extended family members still living in England, but at this point IDGAF what happens in Europe.
ringing jeers for the Jews too
the Nazis finally get their winter olympics
Good toughing up experience for Vance.
Russians are top talent in winter sports. They allow Chinese, but not Russians.
The Europeans are pissed that someone has finally told them to pay their own damn way for once
There were plenty of cheers also. The media just wants people to believe it was all boos.

If you ever needed another reason to despise Euroweenies, look no further than the way our beloved Vice President was treated.
That’s exactly what I said. AP. Always Propaganda.
