Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha looked completely unfazed after being booed by some fellow attendees Thursday evening at the Kennedy Center.
The viral video shared by The Guardian’s Andrew Roth captured the overwhelmingly negative reaction as Vance and Usha took their seats at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for a symphony performance. Boos and jeers erupted the moment the vice-presidential party entered the box tier. Apparently undaunted by the uproar, Vance responded with an ironic smile and a casual wave as he sipped his wine.

Shouts from the audience included, “You ruined this place!” and “Yeah, January 6th!”
At one point, someone yelled out, “kill that light!”
Vance and his wife carried on their conversation as if the uproar never happened and seemed indifferent to the crowd’s reaction to their presence.
The loud booing subsided when the performance began and they both remained for the entire concert.

Thursday’s featured artist was the National Symphony Orchestra, which performed pieces by Igor Stravinsky and Dmitri Shostakovich. Violinist Leonidas Kavakos performed Shostakovich’s “Violin Concerto no. 2.”
Trump fired all 31 trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts shortly after taking office in an attempt to eliminate leftist agendas from the entertainment center.
Trump continues to execute on promises made publicly on Truth Social dating back to Feb. 7 after sharing his scathing review of the programming at the facility. (RELATED: Trump Taps Conservative Firebrand Richard Grenell To Shake Up Kennedy Center)
