JD Vance humiliated as he’s brutally booed on night out with his wife for insulting The Ul (video)
US Vice President JD Vance faced a hostile reception last night as he and his wife, Usha, arrived at the Kennedy Center for a National Symphony Orchestra concert. The couple was met with a chorus of boos from the audience, with Vance responding to the jeers with a sarcastic wave and a pointed gesture. The incident delayed the start of the concert by 25 minutes, as the Secret Service conducted a full security sweep of the venue before his arrival.
Richard Grenell, the interim director of the Kennedy Center appointed by President Donald Trump, criticized the crowd as “intolerant.” One audience member reportedly shouted, “You ruined this place,” though this was not audible in a 36-second video from the event. In the clip, a man can be heard whispering, “JD Vance,” to which a woman responded, “Oh f***, s***.” Other attendees were seen shaking their heads and recording Vance on their smartphones, while a lone clap could be heard amidst the boos.
The Kennedy Center has been a focal point of controversy since Trump replaced its chairman with himself and removed 13 members of the board of trustees last month. Grenell was appointed as interim leader, with Trump vowing to eliminate “woke” content from the institution. “We took over the Kennedy Center,” Trump said. “We didn’t like what they were showing and various other things. We’re going to make sure that it’s good and it’s not going to be woke. There’s no more woke in this country.”
Vance has faced increasing criticism in recent weeks, particularly for his handling of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. During the meeting, Vance interrupted Zelensky, demanding that he thank the United States for its support, a moment that was later mocked on *Saturday Night Live*. The skit recreated the scene, with the actor playing Vance saying, “Excuse me? I’m sorry, what?” and adding, “I’m going to jump in here, because that’s how we planned this—what happened to thank you? ‘k?'”
The backlash against Vance reflects growing tensions within the US over its foreign policy and domestic cultural issues. As Trump’s administration continues to make controversial changes to institutions like the Kennedy Center, public dissent appears to be on the rise, with figures like Vance becoming lightning rods for criticism.
