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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 💩

      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…

    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.

    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?

    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.

        See the video. All I see are some elderly people shuffling around him asking questions. With what looks like security at the ready…

    Despite my… unpopular view on 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.
