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.
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
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.
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?
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.
Much better than families and their toddlers being faced with pro Russian missiles.
Cry me a river you petulant fuck.
JD: “Hmmm … Elon uses his kid as a human shield …”
The nation could benefit from some childhood trauma right about now.
Confronted. lol. He needs to actually be confronted, in a deposition.
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.
He’s not going to miss an opportunity to play the victim.
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 💩
Yeah he wasn’t in any danger, otherwise this would be bigger news.
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…
Nut up you fucking pussy.
I’m confronted by this fucker’s stupid fucking face every goddamn day
Deal with it you fucking child
Never too young to learn how much your dad is a piece of human garbage that non braindead people hate
I don’t think you should get a job in public service if you don’t want to deal with members of the public.
public service
Republicans have t thought of government officials like that for decades, they view the politicians they vote for as their boss.
Someone who tells them what to do/think, and they align their values to trump
Neoliberals have spent 30 years trying to get Dems to think the same way, where instead of a politician working for their voters and then being accountable to them, they want voters to work for them and never question their stances. They want us to be like Republicans and take the stances of our politicians instead.
The thing is there are very real and very noticable differences in the brains between conservatives and liberals, what works on Republican voters just won’t win enough liberal voters for that strategy to work.
The only reason it worked in 2020 was people gave Biden the benefit of the doubt.
But lots of Dem voters never got over Biden saying that anyone who thought he could accomplish anything with simple House and Senate majorities were ignorant of American politics. After the reason we got the 50/50 split was the entire nation donating in the runoffs so we could get it.
So while I agree, its important to point out neither side has been nominating politicians who view themselves as public servants for a very very long time.
