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.

    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.

      Republicans didn’t seem too concerned when a Democrat was confronted by a guy with a hammer who attempted to kill him, in fact it was a big joke with them.

        Yeah, they proceeded to make it out like it was some gay affair, too, thinking that was really hilarious.

        They don’t give a fuck about decorum and civility and all that. They just take umbrage with their people even being questioned at all. They think the right thing to do is everyone just rolls over because they won in the slimmest of majorities and that this gives them a “mandate” to do whatever wild shit they want. And everyone else should just shut up and make themselves invisible. Fuck that noise.

    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?

      I need to use this on my neighbor. Any time she gets called out on being a piece of shit, she uses her children as a defense and accuses the neighbor who called her out of hating children.

    Despite my… unpopular view regarding 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.

    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

    Vance, in tears, asked his daughter if they could go home to mommy where there weren’t any scary people asking why he is Putin’s bitch

    I’d prefer his version of events, honestly. Why do these fuckers ever get a moment of peace? Life should be made as difficult as possible for them, for every facet that we still have control over.

      You can see the video. It seems like an extremely mild bunch of people asking him questions he was uncomfortable about.

      He’s just whining. I’m remembering how the qons were acting like it was 9/11 2.0 when Huckabee was…checks notes…denied a fucking cheese plate at a restaurant that didn’t want to be seen endorsing these monsters.

      I also remember something in the first little d term where some con was joined on the sidewalk, and people around him walked along with him, asking questions he didn’t like. He acted like he was this close to be abducted by terrorists. I can’t remember if that was Tucker or what, but it was some right wing douche clutching their pearls over a big fucking nothing.

    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.
