JD Vance says he spoke with pro-Ukrainian protesters who ‘scared’ 3-year-old daughter

Vice President JD Vance had a harrowing encounter with pro-Ukrainian protesters while out for a walk with his 3-year-old daughter recently. In a post on X, Vance described how the protesters followed him and his daughter, shouting the battle cry “Slava Ukraini” which translates to “Glory to Ukraine.” The situation escalated as Vance’s daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared.
In an attempt to protect his daughter, Vance engaged in a conversation with the protesters, hoping to persuade them to leave them alone. Despite the tense situation, Vance noted that most of the protesters agreed to end the confrontation after their conversation. However, he condemned their actions, stating, “if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s— person.”
The incident comes in the aftermath of a heated Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Tensions arose over a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, with accusations flying from all sides. The Trump administration recently cut off funding for Ukraine and halted intelligence sharing with the country following the meeting.
Following the encounter with the protesters, Vance faced criticism from liberal commentator Tim Miller, who called him out for his actions. The situation has sparked debate and controversy, with calls for accountability and resolution on both sides.
As the situation continues to unfold, Vance and his family have found themselves at the center of a political storm. The Vice President’s efforts to protect his daughter from the chaos of the protesters highlight the challenges faced by public figures in navigating volatile political landscapes. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the impact of political tensions on individuals and families, urging for compassion and understanding in the face of adversity.
