Vice President JD Vance addresses a crowd at the Republican midterm convention and is interrupted by a protester who waves a Mexican flag and shouts from the audience. Multiple outlets report that Vance leaves his prepared remarks and responds directly to the heckler as event security removes the man.
Several sources describe the exchange as Vance telling the protester to leave and, in some accounts, offering to cover travel to Mexico. The Independent, Newsweek, NDTV, and Breitbart all characterize Vance as making a plane-ticket offer or effectively urging the person to go to Mexico. Post similarly reports Vance saying, “If you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there,” while security drags the man away. One outlet emphasizes the boos that accompany the interruption, while others focus on Vance’s specific offer to the protester.
