Vice President JD Vance's Vermont family vacation was cut short due to massive pro-Ukraine protests sparked by a White House clash with Zelensky.
Vice President JD Vance's family ski trip to Vermont's Sugarbush Resort took an unexpected turn when hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters swarmed the resort. The protests, fueled by a recent heated exchange between Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, forced the Vance family to cut their trip short and relocate to an undisclosed location. Protesters, carrying signs calling Vance a "traitor" and a "national disgrace," lined the streets for half a mile. While counter-protesters also appeared, the intensity of the demonstration led to the Vances abandoning their plans and leaving the resort. The protests, initially planned to address broader concerns about the Trump administration's policies, intensified after the White House dispute, where Vance criticized Zelensky for not expressing sufficient gratitude for US aid. Vermont Governor Phil Scott had earlier urged protesters to be respectful of the Vance family's vacation.
