JD Vance Booed by Spectators During Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony
US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha were booed by spectators on Friday during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, Italy.
The moment occurred as cameras showed the Vances standing and applauding the U.S. team during their walkout.
NBC anchors were quick to point out the disapproving reception, even saying that whistling could be heard in the crowd. The boos were relatively short-lived and not as loud as the typically thunderous boos that greet politicians at American sporting events.
American athletes, on the other hand, were well received, as was American artist Mariah Carey, who sang in English and Italian.
Vance, accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is leading the U.S. delegation to this year’s Winter Olympics.
