Protesters gathered in Vermont to voice their opposition to Vice President JD Vance's recent comments about Ukraine during an Oval Office exchange. Many held signs supporting Ukraine, while others expressed solidarity with Palestinian rights and immigrant issues. The protests were intensified by Vance's contentious remarks to President Zelenskyy. Despite a large crowd at Route 100 and Sugarbush Resort, officials confirmed that the demonstrations remained peaceful. Vermont's Republican Governor Phil Scott urged residents to welcome Vance during his family trip, emphasizing the importance of civil discourse despite political disagreements.
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," Tekla Van Hoven of Waterbury told WCAX-TV.
There were a handful of protestors at the resort throughout the day, but all were peaceful and none were disruptive," resort spokesman John Bleh said in an email Sunday.
