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.
He should stop whining and think about thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped and brainwashed in Russia. That is much more stressful than one child and their couch-fucking creepy daddy, to face some protesters.
What a douchebag.
are these the same people who ate cats and dogs?
We need more Luigis.

If there aren’t feds watching fediverse/lemmy already, somebody is not doing their job.
There’s definitely some honeypot instances.
The funny thing is you don’t even need users, just to federate.
The consensus is that the next Luigi has to be a white heterosexual man and a veteran or active military, hopefully even conservative

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
Like anyone can get within 300 feet of Vance without permission. Ridiculous.
Exactly, like the US Secret fucking Service would just let anyone “chase” the sitting Vice President around lmfao.
What a stupid lie for him to tell, but most of the conservative base will still eat it up because they’re too politically uninformed to realize the premise of what he’s saying is impossible.
Serious question: when does he start having a decoy child lookalike so he can always have a child with him 24/7 so he can continually say he’s being harassed with his daughter.
The kid should know that daddy is making other little boys and girls die because he can’t steal from their country.
Glad someone’s confronting republicans on Ukraine. No one we elected will.
Using your child as a shield for bad policy decisions? That’s a new low, JD.
🐱
What new low? The Dipship already did that.
It’s starting to sound like he’s aiming for Ted Cruz’s level of dipshittery.
But not using them as a literal shield yet, so he needs to work harder.
He still doesn’t want to stoop to musk’s level there
Sucks to suck
So Vance just so happened to be “walking his daughter” near a group of Ukrainian protestors? The secret service didn’t have the capability to look down the street he wanted to walk down and say “maybe we should take another route”?
Or did he purposely take his young daughter near a polite-looking group of protestors just so he could have a low-risk confrontation as fuel to demonize his detractors online?
I hope to God she was wearing a leash for everyone’s safety.
I hope it was attached to someone more competent than her father. Like a roomba.
Much better than families and their toddlers being faced with pro Russian missiles.
Cry me a river you petulant fuck.
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.
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
It’s like you can’t betray your allies and turn your country into a fascist shithole anymore. Well you can, but then some woke mob will calmly tell you that what you’re doing is bad and I don’t want my children being around that negativity!
Good. This administration should continue to be confronted and challenged on their stupidity. They are, and never should be, free from receiving criticism for their stances, and using the child to deflect from the real questions being asked is a cop out and completely on brand.
I bet the three year old has a more objective view on Ukraine anyway. The press should be interviewing them instead of JD.
I agree. Make them uncomfortable. Make them see how reviled they are.
