Video has surfaced of Vice President J.D. Vance speaking with protesters supporting Ukraine who Vance said harassed him and his three-year-old daughter while they were out for a walk on Saturday near his Cincinnati home.
The video shows Vance and the protesters having a civil, but contentious discussion about the Trump administration’s push for a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
Vance’s little three-year-old daughter Mirabel stood next to Vance during the debate while he kept a protective arm around her, but was obstructed from the camera’s view by a Secret Service agent.

The video was posted by WCPO-TV with this caption, “WCPO has obtained a video showing protesters speaking with Vice President JD Vance near his Cincinnati residence. Vance claimed on X that the protesters were following him and his daughter before he decided to confront them. The protester who shared this video with us says that’s a fabrication. (Video courtesy of Ann Henry)”
Vance’s side of the conversation is hard to hear at times, but he can heard telling the protesters the Trump administration is trying to reach a diplomatic settlement, that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, that the U.S. does not have the resources to support Ukraine indefinitely and that President Trump is trying to force both Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.
Vance closed by reminding the protesters he agreed to talk with them for five minutes if they would leave his daughter alone.
Vance posted on X about the confrontation before the video was published, “Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.)
It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person.”

Ukraine supporters have gathered at the entrance to Vance’s home in the Cincinnati suburbs for a three day protest running Friday through Sunday. Several dozen were seen on video posted on Saturday. The confrontation appears to have taken place in a different part of the neighborhood.
