Vice President J.D. Vance's recent family vacation to Vermont was met with significant public demonstrations. Following a contentious Oval Office meeting involving Vance, President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, hundreds of protesters gathered near Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont, where the Vice President was staying. The demonstrators expressed support for Ukraine and displayed signs addressing various political issues.
Despite the protests, which remained peaceful, the resort reported no disruptions to its operations. Vermont's Republican Governor, Phil Scott, urged residents to be respectful of Vance's family visit, emphasizing the importance of civility despite political differences.
The Vice President's presence also drew direct confrontations. While skiing, Vance was approached by individuals questioning his political stance, including being called "Putin's puppet." Additionally, a near-collision occurred on the slopes involving Vance and another skier.
In response to the escalating demonstrations, Vance and his family were relocated to an undisclosed location. The protests were intensified by Vance's recent public disagreement with President Zelenskyy over a mineral rights deal, leading some demonstrators to label him a "national disgrace" and suggest he "go ski in Russia."
The situation underscores the heightened public sensitivity to international relations and domestic political actions, reflecting deep-seated opinions among citizens regarding U.S. foreign policy and leadership conduct.
