US Vice President JD Vance faced intense criticism from fans during the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan on Friday. He was seen receiving a mix of whistling, jeering, and applause from the crowd while watching with his wife Usha. This reaction is similar to the backlash he experienced earlier at the US women’s hockey victory over Czechia on Thursday.
Vance has faced online backlash for his comments on journalists being “fake” and press institutions being one of the least trusted. The negative reception at the Olympics contrasts with a mostly warm welcome for the US team despite fears of booing from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
