JD Vance says he and his daughter, 3, were confronted by pro-Ukraine protesters
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.
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.
I agree. Make them uncomfortable. Make them see how reviled they are.
Oh boohoo - somebody maybe said mean things to him while he was using his daughter as a human shield (or maybe they didn't and he's lying).
And meanwhile, parents in Ukraine are digging their children's corpses out from under rubble.
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.
Or stop being a huge piece of shit.
"Today while walking my 3 year old daughter"
Was that a typo? Or does "JD" "Vance" talk about walking his daughter like he would talk about his dog?
I need to use this on my neighbor. Any time she gets called out on being a piece of shit, she uses her children as a defense and accuses the neighbor who called her out of hating children.
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.
JD: "Hmmm ... Elon uses his kid as a human shield ..."
The nation could benefit from some childhood trauma right about now.
Using your child as a shield for bad policy decisions? That’s a new low, JD.
🐱
But not using them as a literal shield yet, so he needs to work harder.
He still doesn't want to stoop to musk's level there
What new low? The Dipship already did that.
It's starting to sound like he's aiming for Ted Cruz's level of dipshittery.
Must be nice not having a foreign invader taking your kids away from you huh?
Must be nice not having your kids separated from you and put into cages huh?
You don't get to be a morally bankrupt Putin puppet and then appeal to actual morals.
Despite my… unpopular view regarding 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.
He's not going to miss an opportunity to play the victim.
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
Much better than families and their toddlers being faced with pro Russian missiles.
Cry me a river you petulant fuck.
Never too young to learn how much your dad is a piece of human garbage that non braindead people hate
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.
I don't think you should get a job in public service if you don't want to deal with members of the public.
JD: "Stay back! I have a child." Raises their child up as if they were shield
Vice cuck learning self defense tactics from the president.
If Vancey-pants went on home and self-immolated, the kid would be better off in the long run.
Confronted. lol. He needs to actually be confronted, in a deposition.
Not the ideal version of "depose" but okay
Oh, it is…
Vance, in tears, asked his daughter if they could go home to mommy where there weren't any scary people asking why he is Putin's bitch
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!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.
He should stop whining and think about thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped and brainwashed in Russia. That is much more stressful than one child and their couch-fucking creepy daddy, to face some protesters.
What a douchebag.
I'm confronted by this fucker's stupid fucking face every goddamn day
Deal with it you fucking child
Nut up you fucking pussy.
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?
Imagine you and your family being confronted by a Russian conscript who shoots anything that moves.
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.
I hope we see that
Using his own kids as a political prop, of course.
Sucks to suck
are these the same people who ate cats and dogs?
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.
Serious question: when does he start having a decoy child lookalike so he can always have a child with him 24/7 so he can continually say he's being harassed with his daughter.
douches gonna douche. douche. douche. and cocksuckers gonna suck. suck. suck.
Not as catchy as Taylor Swift's version.
JD joins the Elon club of using his children as human shields.
Like anyone can get within 300 feet of Vance without permission. Ridiculous.
Exactly, like the US Secret fucking Service would just let anyone "chase" the sitting Vice President around lmfao.
What a stupid lie for him to tell, but most of the conservative base will still eat it up because they're too politically uninformed to realize the premise of what he's saying is impossible.
I really don't need to know how old his couch cushion is tbh...
Boys' night out at the local strip club, he turns up at Ikea wondering where everyone is.
Glad someone's confronting republicans on Ukraine. No one we elected will.
Aw poor baby. You cannot convince me that this chubby man child doesn’t wear eyeliner
Sucks to suck
Someone who chose to go into politics, chose to be confrontational, chose to exploit people …. Surprised that people are unhappy with his choices? (Where’s that shocked pikachu face meme when you need it?)
Good.
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.
See the video. All I see are some elderly people shuffling around him asking questions. With what looks like security at the ready....
This is the price of being a politician and being a complete P.O.S. one at that.
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.
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.
not a good enough protest if he can talk about it
Who the hell is that guy in the thumbnail? That's certainly not JD "say thank you plwease" Vance.
Yeah, get used to it maybe
Never before have I wished I were back in Cincinnati.
"Don't hit him he got kids with him my apologies"
Just Fucking Dumb should think about the 3-year old Ukrainian children dealing with the shit from Russia.
he is such a try hard. What a douchy loser.
Hey does anybody know whose kid is in the stroller and how old they are? Guessing between maybe 2-4 years old, and prob with a father who wasn’t exactly leading his best life as protestors impugned his integrity (not simply debated genuine views), but who knows
I’ll watch again and try to use context clues to figure this out… maybe someone mentions the age
