JD Vance says he was confronted by pro-Ukrainian protesters while walking with toddler daughter

Vice President JD Vance said Saturday he was confronted by pro-Ukrainian protesters while he was out walking with his 3-year-old daughter. 

"Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared," Vance posted Saturday afternoon on X. 

"I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone," he continued. "Nearly all of them agreed." 

Vance said it was a "mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s--- person." 

"Slava Ukraini" is a battle cry for the Ukrainian armed forces, meaning "Glory to Ukraine." 

While the vice president didn’t specify what he talked to the protesters about, the Trump administration has cut off funding in the last week for Ukraine and stopped intelligence sharing with the country after a tense Oval Office exchange between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump and Vance.

“ Slava Ukraini’ protesters” = From-the-river-to-the-sea Palestinian protesters = Antifa protesters.

All ABSOLUTE SCUM!

Maybe we should be joining up with Russia to denazify Ukraine.

Some of those stalkers/harassers might even *be* zeepers.

Exactly, In Florida we would have a different approach. If I was walking my granddaughters and political protesters were upset by my dark MAGA hat, and were scaring the little ones, I would ask them politely to leave us alone, and stop blocking our way. Florida law’s pretty clear on what appropriate actions are allowed if I fear for my or other’s safety.

Maybe some but I’m not so sure, being that most of them posting here aren’t Americans.

If Zelenskyy had signed the agreement on March 1, there’s a good chance there would be a cease fire by now.

And BTW, according to one of the cabinet members, that was the 3rd time he said he would sign but backed out.

Why was this ever allowed to happen, given all the open hatred for Trump and all those supporting him?
I’m wondering if perhaps Vance himself asked for less security at certain times, because it may be frightening to his kids, but I doubt that.
Something similar happened to Vance just the other day, when he tried to take his kids skiing, but was disrupted by Ukraine complainers. It got so bad, the security finally did intervene, and transported the Vance family to an “undisclosed location”. This needs to be straightened out asap!

And like Steve Schirripa (Sopranos and Blue Bloods) on his ad speaking to his dog, Vance can tell his little daughter "If anybody asks say you were at grandma's."
