VP JD Vance Laughs Off Protesters at Washington Union Station

Vice President JD Vance exchanged words with a small group of demonstrators while leaving Union Station in Washington, D.C., on 20 Aug 2025. Walking alongside Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Vance pointed at one protester and said, “This is the guy who thinks people don’t deserve law and order in their own community,” before the pair departed the station laughing. Footage of the brief encounter circulated on social media on Wednesday afternoon, drawing contrasting reactions from supporters of the administration and critics of its stance on public safety. Neither Vance’s office nor the protesters immediately issued further statements about the incident.
