Vice President J.D. Vance criticized pro-Ukrainian protesters on Saturday after they followed him during a walk with his 3-year-old daughter, Mirabel.
The protesters, waving Ukrainian flags, expressed concerns about the ongoing conflict, shouting that “people are dying.” Vance calmly addressed them, saying that while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was clear, a resolution was needed.
As one protester shouted over him, Vance respectfully told the group he was with his daughter and did not want her to be scared. He later addressed the incident on social media, calling those who chased a child during a protest “a shit person.” Vance’s exchange with protesters followed a recent confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy over U.S. support in the war.
