Vermont protesters demonstrate against JD Vance during ski trip
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Vermont on Saturday to voice their opposition to Vice President JD Vance’s visit to a local ski resort, following his heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Vance, accompanied by his family, arrived at Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont, only to be met with a half-mile line of protesters holding pro-Ukraine signs. The crowd, estimated to be in the hundreds, carried signs denouncing Vance as “Nazi scum,” a “traitor,” and urged him to “go ski in Russia.”
Among the other signs displayed were messages such as “Trump serves Putin,” “Theocracy is not freedom,” and “Stand with Ukraine.” While the protesters made their voices heard, not all skiers in Vermont shared the same sentiment. One local skier expressed their frustration with the demonstrations to Fox News Digital, calling the protesters “morons.”
Despite plans to stay at a nearby four-star inn, Vance and his family opted to relocate to an undisclosed location after the commotion. The protesters followed Vance to the slopes, prompting the family to ski on a less crowded side of the mountain. The demonstrations unfolded shortly after Vance’s contentious encounter with Zelenskyy in the White House.
During the altercation, which stemmed from a disagreement over a mineral rights deal proposed by President Trump, Vance accused Zelenskyy of disrespect and ungratefulness. The Ukrainian leader, in turn, defended his position, leading to a tense exchange that involved President Trump intervening in support of Vance. The fallout from the meeting spilled over to Vance’s visit to Vermont, where tensions remained high among the protesters.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Sugarbush Resort for comment on the events. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the ripple effects that reach even small, peaceful communities like Warren, Vermont.
