Fresh off his contentious confrontation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, Vance took a family ski trip up north to Suarbush Resort in Warren.
Meanwhile, in Vermont, hundreds of protesters gathered sporting pro-Ukraine signs on Saturday, March 1 and shouting at him on his way to his resort.
According to the New York Post, the Vance family was moved to a new location after being accosted by the protesters.
Fox News described the protesters as a "half-mile gauntlet" with signs calling the vice president a "traitor," "Nazi," and demanding he "go ski in Russia."
Prior to Vance's arrival, VT Gov. Phil Scott issued the following statement:
“I welcome the Vice President and his family to Vermont and hope they enjoy their weekend here. It’s no surprise they chose Vermont, we’ve had a lot of snow this winter, which has been good for our economy. And while we’ve all been doing a lot of shoveling and plowing, Vermonters know it’s part of a rugged and adventurous way of life that makes our winters worthwhile.
“I hope Vermonters remember the Vice President is here on a family trip with his young children and, while we may not always agree, we should be respectful. Please join me in welcoming them to Vermont, and hoping they have an opportunity to experience what makes our state, and Vermonters, so special.”
