JD Vance's visit to Vermont ski resort interrupted by pro-Ukraine demonstrators after Zelenskyy exchange

Vance, who brought his family to Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont, was greeted by a half-mile gauntlet of protesters holding pro-Ukraine signs Saturday. There appeared to be hundreds in the crowd.

The protesters carried signs calling Vance "Nazi scum," accusing him of being a "traitor" and telling him to "go ski in Russia."

Other signs said "Trump serves Putin," "Theocracy is not freedom" and "Stand with Ukraine." 

But not all Green Mountain State skiers were upset with Vance's visit, and one local skier complained about the demonstrations to Fox News Digital.

"Those people protesting Vance are f---ing morons," the skier said.

A source also told Fox News that the Vances initially intended to stay at a four-star inn near the resort, but that they moved to an undisclosed location instead, though that decision preceded the protests.

Protesters also gathered near the slopes the Vance family skied on, the source said, but it is unclear how close they got to the Second Family.

Later, Vance implied that Zelenskyy, who was visiting Washington, D.C., to sign a rare earth minerals deal that has since been dropped, was ungrateful again and asked if he'd "said 'thank you' once this entire meeting."

"You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country," the former Ohio senator said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Sugarbush Resort for comment.
