The protests follow theMany of the demonstrators held signs in support of Ukraine. Other protestors waved Palestinian flags or signs in support of immigrant rights. Demonstrators were energized following the tense interactions between Vance, Trump and Zelenskyy on Friday when Vance berated Zelenskyy for challenging Trump’s stance that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be trusted in maintaining a ceasefire for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Additionally, Vance attacked Zelenskyy for not thanking the Trump administration and American people for providing aid to Ukraine throughout the war. “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. Vance and his family arrived in Vermont ahead of the weekend with plans to ski at Sugarbush Resort in Warren. “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. Republican Gov. Phil Scott released a statement on Thursday welcoming Vance and his family to the state. Scott requested Vermont residents welcome them as well even if they have political differences with the vice president. “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,” the statement said.
