JD Vance, the US vice-president, was booed by the audience as he took his seat at a National Symphony Orchestra concert at Washington’s Kennedy Center on Thursday evening.
As the normal pre-concert announcements got under way, the vice-presidential party filed into the box tier. Booing and jeering erupted in the hall, drowning out the announcements, as Vance and his wife, Usha, took their seats.
Such a vocal, impassioned political protest was a highly unusual event in the normally polite and restrained world of classical music.
Vance ironically acknowledged the yelling and shouts of “You ruined this place!” with a smile and a wave.
Why would anyone who’s not a Nazi perform or attend a performance at Trump’s Kennedy Center?
They should have kept booing until he was forced to leave. Nothing gets to proceed in the presence of Nazis. And if that means the show is canceled or ruined, so be it. We’ve already had far worse things ruined this week.
If I ever get the chance to heckle jd vance in person, I’d happily use my defcon 1 voice to make sure he feels uncomfortable, shamed, and involuntarily pees his pants.
I’m really hoping you get to meet him.
Haha, defcon 1 voice is a great way to describe what you’re talking about.
I spent some time in heavy industrial spaces, so i have an “engineering” voice that is like roaring thunder compared to my everyday. When the median decibel level is 110 and everyone is wearing hearing protection, you learn to “shout talk” with your whole body.
I can also be horrifyingly loud. I’ll gladly join your chorus.
I have the drill sergeant bellow. It causes abject horror and pants wetting in the mentally delicate. I’d happily join the chorus.
If I ever go to DC, I’m buying a tomato to hurl at either of those bozos.
Sure, there’s a non-zero chance of being shot at, and a bigger chance of being flat-out arrested, but the news coverage will be legendary.
If you’re cool with being arresled and/or shct, do something that’s worth it. Don’t waste that on a tomato.
Make sure it’s just like them: rotten to the core.
Boo the coup!
Like this bozo even enjoys symphony orchestra’s.
We know he loves show tunes
I bet he’s a big fan of Wagner like most nazis
They had a chance to do the funniest thing ever.
they better get used to it or move the white house to alabama 😂
Ugh as an alabamian please don’t, but I get it, most of my state would probably love that
When MAGA enters the room they tend to stink up the place. I can see why they booed.
