Protesters dispute Vance's description of clash on street over Ukraine: 'No one was chasing him'

The protesters who confronted Vice President Vance disputed his version of what happened, claiming that “no one was chasing him.” Video shared with WCPO in Cincinnati from one of the protesters, Ann Henry, showed the incident with Vance. Henry disputed Vance’s retelling of the story, saying they were not looking for the vice president, but rather bumped into him, she said. “No one was chasing him,” she told the outlet.

In a post on the social platform X, Vance said he was confronted by pro-Ukraine protesters while he was with his 3-year-old daughter on Saturday.

“I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.),” Vance said on X. He said it was a mostly respectful conversation but said “if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s— person.”

The video shared with the outlet showed the protesters asking questions regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. “We think it’s in the best interest of our [own people] and frankly in the best interest of the Ukrainians for the war to stop,” Vance said. He said Russia “certainly” invaded Ukraine, which contradicts President Trump’s refusal to admit it.

slick, double talking liar. His version of the encounter with protesters is just another example of his dishonesty.

The un-American arrogance of this little fellow is precious.

if he were planning to really take his kid out for a walk the Secret Service would have told him about the protestors and probably suggested another route. At any rate he made a conscious choice to to put himself in that situation all the while knowing he was in absolutely zero danger because his SS details would be with him. It was all about him and if there were any danger there isn’t a snowball chance in hell that he would have left the house.

He thinks carrying his kid around on his shoulders makes an assassination attempt less likely.
