Protesters in Vermont targeted US Vice President JD Vance following his heated argument with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Vance and his family were on a ski trip in Warren, Vermont, when they were met by hundreds of protesters holding signs accusing him of being a traitor and supporting Russia.
The demonstrators lined the streets of the town with signs labeling Vance as "Nazi scum" and telling him to "go ski in Russia". The protests were so intense that Vance and his family had to relocate from their planned ski resort to an undisclosed location.
The confrontation in the Oval Office occurred when Vance and President Trump clashed with Zelensky over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Vance criticized Zelensky for not thanking Trump and accused him of disrespecting the American president. The shouting match was broadcasted on TV screens worldwide, drawing widespread attention and criticism.
The protests in Vermont were a direct response to Vance's tough stance on Zelensky and his perceived support for Russia. Some protesters also showed support for Vance by flying MAGA flags.
