Watching JD Vance’s motorcade get ruthlessly roasted will recharge your soul
Vice President JD Vance may feel like he was the victim of bullying while visiting a sushi restaurant in California, but what he really did was brighten the day for anyone sick of his stances on trans rights and immigration, his denigration of childless women, or his efforts to ram the Trump administration’s massive tax and spending bill through Congress.
After leaving the Michelin-starred Soichi Sushi in San Diego with his wife Usha over the Fourth of July weekend, Vance’s Secret Service motorcade was booed by demonstrators who had gathered outside on the street to voice their dislike of the Republican leader.
Video footage of Vance being heckled and booed was posted on social media, showing people shouting at him to leave the city and calling him out for eating at a fancy restaurant at the same time Texas was being hit with deadly flash floods.
“Hope your Michelin-starred sushi was worth it with 82 people dead in Texas! Thanks for cutting the National Weather Service,” someone is heard shouting in the video.
Another person said, “Get the hell out of San Diego, a******!”
Vance is no stranger to being mocked while in public. His PR stunt of a trip to Greenland had to be rearranged when the entire country said he wasn’t welcome, he has been endlessly mocked with AI memes on social media, and back in March, pro-Ukraine protestors called him a traitor while he was on a sky vacation in Vermont.
Social media users were quick to see the video of Vance being ruthlessly shouted down while hiding in his motorcade and jumped on the chase to mock him. Here are some of our favorite reactions to the comical news.
