JD Vance thought he was going to have a quiet and fun vacation in Vermont skiing with his family on Saturday. He found out the citizens of Waitsfield, Vermont didn't believe he belonged there. JD didn't deserve to have fun after his disgraceful actions in the Oval Office with Trump and Zelensky.
They were lining both sides of the street, actually Route 100, in the hundreds. Protesters held signs that said Vance was a "national disgrace," and a "traitor," and told him to "go ski in Russia!"
The protests were planned last week when Vance's travel plans became known. Organized by the Mad River Valley chapter of Indivisible, a grassroots organizing group, additional protesters joined after the Oval Office debaucle. There were protests in other areas as well. Many held Ukrainian flags. People were livid about Vance's performance on Friday.
Vance was forced out of the Sugarbush Resort, in nearby Warren, by the protests, threw away plans to stay at a four-star inn (unnamed) and left to an "undisclosed location." Hopefully it's back to Ohio or Washington D.C., because most of the people of Vermont didn't want him even in the state.
There were some MAGA counter protesters who go into shouting matches with the anti-Vance people outside the Sugarbush Resort.
While skiing, Vance was almost crashed into by another skier and another one yelled "Putin's puppet" at him.

"Ski Russia because JD Vance has no friends in Vermont, but he's got lots of friends in Russia, so he should go there for vacation," said Takla Van Hoven to WCAX-TV, from South Burlington, Vermont.
Republican Governor Phil Scott tried to defuse the situation with a statement on Thursday, "I hope Vermonters remember that the vice president is on a family trip with his young children and, while we may not always agree, we should be respectful."
Sorry. Respect is something that MAGA idiots never have taken a liking to. Maybe if Vance's children get upset, they may find something about their father they didn't know. Like he's a traitor. Maybe he'll think twice before spouting Russian propaganda.
Still other protest signs read "International embarrassment" and "Vermont stands with Ukraine."
Fox aired video of the protesters, but blurred out signs against Vance and in favor of Ukraine. Figures.
Protest organizers had a different headcount, estimating between 1,000 and 3,000 protesters.
For any Republicans out there who twist into pretzels about being courteous and quiet about Vance's visit, remember that protest is what made America. Bowing down to tyrants is not in our genes. Wannabe dictators need not apply
