Vice President Vance Responds to Controversy While Skiing
During a recent family vacation at Vermont’s Sugarbush Resort, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance faced public criticism amidst escalating tensions over U.S. foreign policy. While skiing, an individual confronted Vance, asking, “How does it feel to be Putin’s puppet?” Vance responded by simply acknowledging the person and continued on his way.
This incident occurred against a backdrop of significant public dissent. Hundreds of protesters gathered near the resort, expressing opposition to Vance’s recent interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Demonstrators displayed signs supporting Ukraine and criticizing Vance, with some suggesting he “go ski in Russia.”
The protests were sparked by a contentious Oval Office meeting where Vance criticized Zelenskyy for questioning President Donald Trump’s trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin. This exchange led to heightened emotions among those supporting Ukraine.
Despite the confrontations and demonstrations, the protests remained largely peaceful. Vermont Governor Phil Scott urged residents to respect Vance and his family during their stay, emphasizing the importance of civility despite political differences.
