J.D. Vance Fires Back at Hecklers During Heated Rally Exchange After Being Interrupted Twice

Vice President J.D. Vance lashed out at two hecklers during a campaign rally in Kansas, using profanity to dismiss the demonstrators as they were escorted out.

According to reports and footage from the event, Vance was discussing economic and leadership challenges when the first interruption occurred.

“I suspect that, just like I felt when I was growing up, a lot of people around here — in places like Kansas — harbored many of the same doubts about our country’s failed leadership,” Vance mused.

“You’re a war criminal!” the first heckler screamed.

After that protester was removed amidst "USA!" chants from the crowd, Vance responded.

“The thing I’ve realized, having done these rallies for the last couple of weeks, is that the only chance the Democrats have is to interrupt and shut down the debate because when we have a free and open debate, the American people will realize that all the Democrats are selling is a fat load of bull----,” Vance insisted.

Minutes later, a second protester began screaming, forcing Vance to step away from his prepared remarks again.

Vance pointed at the second demonstrator and snapped, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have another bull---- artist.”

He quickly added, "Excuse my language, for the kids," before declaring in a raised voice, "He's outta here!”

The heated exchange in Kansas comes amid a string of consecutive disruptions at Vance's and President Donald Trump's rallies ahead of the midterms.

Earlier that same day, Vance had three hecklers ejected from a campaign event in Belgrade, Mont., where he dismissed them as "yahoos."

He has increasingly woven these confrontations into his campaign messaging, telling crowds his opponents have no choice but to try to disrupt his events.

As Vance’s popularity and polls plummet to historic lows, reports of sparse crowds at his rallies have become viral.

Critical social media accounts circulated viral photos showing rows of empty white chairs just minutes before an October 13 Texas rally.

In September, a local North Carolina NPR affiliate reported that an arena with a 3,000-person capacity drew only about 300 attendees.

CNN Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten reported that Vance's national net favorability has dropped to a historically low -15 points, making him the least popular modern Republican vice president at this point in his term.

“So J.D. Vance, by far the least popular Republican vice president at this point in a vice presidency,” Enten said. "When you think about GOP vice presidents that the American people don't like, you think of Dan Quayle. But the minus 15 points, J.D. Vance even beats Dan Quayle."
