Protestors were lining the streets in Vermont yesterday, protesting with anti-Vance and pro-Ukrainian signs. The Vice President was going to the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont for a family trip.

JD and his family quickly moved to an undisclosed location. People spoke out to Fox News yesterday.

“After what he did yesterday, he crossed the line,” Cori Giroux said. “After the meeting yesterday with Zelensky, there, I mean, I feel like all of America should be out here protesting.”

“This is a group of people who have always been supportive of standing with Ukraine,” another protester Judy Daly said. “ However, I think yesterday’s performance at the White House has probably galvanized even more people to come out today.”

Slightly over 1,000 people were in attendance to protest. 

The protesters carried signs calling Vance "Nazi scum," accusing him of being a "traitor" and telling him to "go ski in Russia."

Other signs said "Trump serves Putin," "Theocracy is not freedom" and "Stand with Ukraine." 

Some are angry in the U.S. over the treatment of the Ukrainian President in the White House on Friday.

"Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media," Vance told Zelenskyy. "Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict."

Later, Vance implied that Zelenskyy, who was visiting Washington, D.C., to sign a rare earth minerals deal that has since been dropped, was ungrateful again and asked if he'd "said ‘thank you’ once this entire meeting."

"You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country," the former Ohio senator said.
