Vice President J.D. Vance called out pro-Ukrainian protesters Saturday for screaming as they chased him down on a walk with his 3-year-old daughter, Mirabel.
“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 wrote on X.
Vance confronted the protesters in an interaction that was captured on video by WCPO 9. As Ukrainian flag-waving activists complained to the vice president that “people are dying,” he calmly and collectively spoke to their concerns about Russia and a hopeful end to the war.

“Russia certainly invaded Ukraine in 2022, but there needs to be a settlement,” Vance told the protesters as one woman began to shout over him. More protesters joined in as Vance explained that he was trying to be respectful, shouting that the vice president has “no integrity.”
“Ma’am, I am with my 3-year-old daughter now, and I told you, I would talk to you for five minutes,” Vance said in the video, adding that he did not take his child out “have people run around and yell at her.”
Vance went on to explain in his X post that he engaged with the protesters in hopes that they would leave him and his daughter alone.
“It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person,” Vance added.
Vance’s unpleasant encounter with pro-Ukraine activists came more than one week after he and President Donald Trump argued with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in front of the American media on Feb. 28.
During the exchange, Vance criticized Zelenskyy’s apparent lack of gratitude for U.S. support in its war against Russia. After Trump slammed Zelenskyy for “disrespecting” the U.S., Vance pointedly asked, “Have you said thank you once?”
The left is unhinged. We cannot coexist with them, they will not allow it. The left behaves like muslims in that respect, submit to their will or be punished, (killed).
Vance is a heartbeat away from the presidency. The SS should have intervened, unless Vance had told them to stand down.
Vance seems to like the attention and amplifies it at every opportunity. He’s building his political career on it.
They’re traitors, the leftists, plain and simple.
If he doesn’t already get it I’d like to see JD Vance.and his family.get the same SS protection that DJT gets.
Terrorists. Treat them as such.
He is far nicer than I would have been. Respect earned.
They do.............
They would KILL both of them if they could get by with it!! DEMOCRATS ARE PURE EVIL!!
True Believers are immune to communication. You can talk to them but they won’t even hear you. And they can give a speech but they don’t know how to converse.
It is interesting that yesterday the woman shouting was named and today she is unnamed.
Any protesting should be viewed as paid actors for the most part, when are we going to defund soros and his web of infections
The entire event has been scrubbed from X since yesterday. I guess doxing liberals hurts
The DemocRATS are not our friends. Hakeem Skyhook has turned them into enemies of America. We are closer to a civil war in this country than people think. Once AMERICANS start pushing back on Hakeems killers and murderers, all hell is going to break loose.
The left loves to attack children. They hate families. The cat women protestors.
Secret Service?????
Civil Service indeed!
Vance is a brilliant politician—the next president, warming up in the bull pen.
He may be at greater risk than Trump.
BTTT
He’s too polite. There has to be a standard protection response that protects Vance and his family while announcing when he is available for a dialog with protestors, and then the protestors need to be moved AWAY. FAR away. Make the protestors defend why they are irrational when there’s a standardized way to talk on a protest topic. And they need to be moved out of earshot of noncombatants.
