If Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife expected a nice evening at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, they were mistaken.
What they got instead was a chorus of boos Thursday night, per People.
The Vances were there to watch National Symphony Orchestra and Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos perform Stravinsky’s “Petrushka” from a balcony seat.
“The Guardian” global affairs correspondent Andrew Roth posted a video on X of the incident:
One man was heard yelling, “Boo;” another said, “Oh f—.”
The boos grew was more audience members saw Vance, who apparently seemed unphased as the boos lasted roughly 30 seconds, per The New York Times.
The audience’s reaction comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s announcement on Feb. 7 that he was taking over the performing arts and cultural center.
