Vice President JD Vance faced backlash after a confrontation with pro-Ukrainian protesters while walking with his three-year-old daughter in Cincinnati. The protesters, shouting “Slava Ukraini,” followed the family and screamed at Vance about his stance on Ukraine. Vance calmly responded, disagreeing with their views, but emphasized that targeting a toddler in a political protest was inappropriate. He later called the protesters “s*** people” for involving his child in their demonstration.

The incident raised questions about whether it’s acceptable to confront public figures in front of their families. Some critics argued that Vance used his daughter as a shield, while others supported his defense of his child. This wasn’t the first time Vance faced protests, as he was also moved to a hotel for safety during a family trip to Vermont due to demonstrators.
