Vice President JD Vance was met with hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters while visiting a Vermont ski resort on Saturday, following his public dust up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.

Vance and his family, on a trip to Sugarbush Resort, were greeted by the outraged protesters lining the snow-covered streets of the small Vermont town of Waitsfield.

Protestors displayed signs that labeled Vance a “national disgrace,” accused him of being a “traitor” and encouraged the family to “go ski in Russia.”

    Every time I dare to read those comments, I end up regretting it. Can you please tell me what is wrong with those people? I really don’t like thinking that people are hopeless and the majority is probably not. But i need help dealing with those.

      I wish I knew. All I can think of is that they’ve fallen into the alt-right pipeline and are now living in some alternative fact land, and there are people who lack empathy, who think that having empathy is a weakness.
