JD Vance and Usha Vance just got mercilessly booed in Milan where the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Winter Olympics just took place. Now the crowd seemed to be applauding the American athletes, but when the camera panned to JD Vance and Usha, the crowd erupted in booze. I mean, it was the entire crowd and there were multiple people commenting and reporters just how bad it was. You had Peter Hami, for example, over at Puck, who's I think a good reporter. He goes, "Big booze for JD Vance in Milan from a friend inside the stadium at the opening ceremony. Holy f, the whole stadium just booed JD Vance and his wife. That was so wild." Now, this follows the International Olympic Committee begging fans, please do not boo the US delegation. It would be very much embarrassing to the Olympic Committee into the games. No, it wouldn't. It would be the international community channeling the rage, not just

of the international community, but of the majority of Americans right now who despise this authoritarian regime. And moments ago, Donald Trump was asked on Air Force One if he heard that J. D. Vance was getting booed. Here's what Donald Trump said. Let's play it. Great job.

Did you say that the vice president got booed during the opening ceremony, though? What do you make of that sort of frosty The vice president got booed during the opening ceremony? What do you make of that frosty?

No. Is that true? Is that right? Yeah. It's surprising because people like him. Well, I mean, he is in a foreign country, you know, in all fairness, but uh he doesn't get food in this country.

And so, booze for JD Vans, booze for Marco Rubio when he arrives. And this has been a rude awakening for the Trump regime. It should also be noted that fans were booing the Israeli delegation as well. I want to mention this also. You know, one of the reasons that I can't show you the booing right now is because NBC and the Olympic Committee has been on a copyright strike spree. So, if you post this, they do immediate takedown notices and try to sue you. So, I will just describe for you an entire arena in Milan of people looking at JD Vance. I can show you the photos right there. and JD Vance and Usha almost looking like they were getting upset and they were going to cry as the entire world let them know you are hated, you are despised. Boo! The entire crowd booed him. Now, one of the major issues also is it was unclear if the US delegation was sending ICE to Milan as well. You may be like, why are they

sending ICE? Well, the US State Department initially said that Department of Homeland Security staff, including ICE, could be there to protect the US delegation, the US athletes, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and others. They then clarified, oh, we didn't mean ICE, but we did mean special services affiliated with the DHS, which is in charge of ICE. And so for people in Italy, for people in Milan, they're like, "We don't want ice in our freaking country. Get ice the hell out." And a lot of athletes are making that very clear. You have one individual right here, um, a athlete who was posting on his Instagram, this British American Olympic skier urinated f ice into the snow in Milan. It's Gus Kenworthy. And here was his political message. He he urinated. F ice ice into the snow. He's a 34year-old freestyle skier who's set to compete in the coming games for team Great Britain. He posted the image to

his 1.2 million followers. You see the f ice in piss right there in his urine. And then he posted the following message. You can call your senator uh at and he gives the phone number to speak up against ICE and put pressure on them during the current DHS funding negotiations. Here's a sample script. Hi, my name is your constituent. I'm calling to urge Senator to refuse to support any final Department of Homeland Security funding agreement that fails to meaningfully reign in ICE and Border Patrol. Innocent people have been murdered. Enough is enough. We can't wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our community. Senators still have leverage right now and Senator fill in the name must use it to demand real guard rails and accountability, including ICE and CBP out of our communities, ending blank check funding for brutality and establishing clear limits on warrantless

arrests, profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools and hospitals. Please pass this message along to the senator. Thank you. He then completed the caption with two emojis, a middle finger, and an ice cube. ICE and Border Patrol are Nazis. They are the They are the SS. They are the Gustapo. That's who they are. That's how the world views them because that is how they behave. They go around terrorizing, torturing killing capturing kidnapping, placing people in concentration camps. So, call it out what it is and abolish them, prosecute them. It's that simple. and the international community is making it known. Here's how the Telegraph reported what went down. So protesters also took to the streets of Milan on Friday to demonstrate against the presence of ICE agents at the Winter Olympics. Hold get the hell out of the Winter Olympics.

America is under the Trump regime is such a predatorial state. Get ICE out of there. What are you doing? Holding signs reading ice out. Hundreds of mostly student protesters assembled in the Piaza Leonardo da Vinci hours before the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Meanwhile, a team GB athlete urinated in the on the snow that said FICE. The US department said last week that several federal agencies, including ICE, would help protect the visiting Americans. Although the Italian government has stressed that US personnel will not conduct any policing on Italian streets.

US Vice President J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio will represent the United States at the opening ceremony in Sansiro Stadium on Friday night where Mariah Carey and Andrea Belli will be among the star performers. There will also be pro there will also protest last Saturday in the Piaza Milan, a square named after the date of Italy's liberation from Nazi fascism in 1945. The Telegraph writes, "Protesters have also spoken out against shutting down parts of the city for what they see as an unsustainable Olympics while housing remains unaffordable and social spaces are scarce." Milan's mayor Joseph Salah said that ICE agents are not welcome. Interior Minister Mateo Penosti told Parliament that only operatives from ISIS Homeland Security would be in Milan. The presence of personnel linked to the ICE agency is not a sudden or unilateral attempt to restrict our national sovereignty. It is the implementation of a binding

international agreement, he claims. Let me share with you some of the protesters who I just described who were doing the ICE out protest. Let me play this for you right here. And next I will share with you as well um statements by USA freestyle skier Hunter Hess on the actions of ICE agents. Let's play this clip right here.

I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States when it, you know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that. Uh I think that as a country we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and uh making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect. And uh I hope that when people look at athletes compete in the Olympics, they realize that that's the America that we're trying to represent. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think um it's a little hard. Um there's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't. if it aligns with my moral values, um I feel like I'm representing it. Uh just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US. Um so yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family

and the people that support me getting here. Now, we've been seeing the United States boot in international competitions before. For example, during the uh international hockey championship that was held in Canada, the American national anthem was booed last February once Donald Trump said 51st state we're going to invade Canada. Play this clip.

And now folks, while all of this is going on, Donald Trump's currently on Air Force One. Donald Trump is saying that he's the least ra he's the least racist. He says, "I'm the least racist president ever because he said that when he posted a photo of former President Obama and Michelle Obama with their faces photoshopped on apes that it was, you know, just something that he does." And he wasn't racist. He just posted it and it wasn't the staffer's fault. But he's not sorry. And he's not racist. And stop booing him everywhere. Everybody, stop booing him. Here, play this clip.

Black voters have been great to me. I've been great to them. And I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time, as far as I'm concerned.

By the way, he's even getting booed at NFL games. Just to remind you, when he tried to read the name of veterans and fallen soldiers and others hoping that he wouldn't get booed at an NFL game that took place in Washington with the Commanders, he still got booed. Just to remind you, we can play that clip right here.

support of the United States. Oh, and then Donald Trump, while he was on the plane, said, this is where he goes. He goes, I'm why would I punish the White House staffer for posting that photo of the Obamas with their faces on apes? He goes, "I told them to post it." But okay, are you sorry? Like I You realize that's heinously racist and that's different than what the White House said after they went all in and said it was a funny meme and everybody's snowflakes for getting mad about it. They're just showing that Donald Trump's the king of the jungle is what the White House said he's and that's why they were doing it. Here, play this clip.

Media post that you took down earlier today. Um, the White House says that a a staffer sent it. Who sent it and are you going to fire them?

Looked at it. No, I looked at it. I saw it and I just looked at the first part. It was about voter fraud in some place, Georgia. There was a lot of voter fraud, 2020 voter fraud, and I didn't see the whole thing. I guess during the end of it, there was uh some kind of that people don't like. I wouldn't like it either, but I didn't see it. I just I looked in the first part and it was really about voter fraud in uh and and the machines how crooked it is, how disgusting it is. Uh then I gave it to the people generally they look at the whole thing but I guess somebody didn't and they posted and we took it down and we you know but that was a voter fraud that nobody talks about. They don't like to talk about that uh post. We took it down as soon as we found out about it.

Mr. President, a number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?

No, I didn't make a mistake. I mean, you give I look at a lot of thousands of things. Um, and u I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. They had that one post and I guess it was a takeoff. By the way, a lot of people were covered. If you look at where it came from, a lot of I guess it was a takeoff on the Lion King and uh certainly it was a very strong post in terms of voter fraud. Nobody knew that that was in the end. If they would have looked, they would have seen it and probably they would have had the sense to take it down. But that was a takeoff in the Lion King and a lot of people were covered on different uh in different positions. So uh but I spoke to Tim Scott. He was great. Tim is a great guy. He understood that 100%. Uh, go ahead, Mr. President.
