Pro-Ukraine protesters dispute JD Vance’s account of confrontation
www.independent.co.uk
Demonstrators who questioned the vice president say he fabricated his account of the latest confrontation following a widely condemned Oval Office meeting with Zelensky

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.

    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.
