Overview
- Vice President JD Vance, speaking Tuesday at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia, faced repeated interruptions from attendees who accused him of killing children and of committing genocide in Gaza.
- One heckler shouted that Jesus does not support genocide and pressed Vance on Gaza, prompting the vice president to pause his remarks and promise a response.
- Vance defended the administration’s approach, saying it solved the problem in Gaza, pointing to what he described as more humanitarian aid entering the territory than at any time in the past five years.
- The crowd alternated between cheering Vance and booing the hecklers as he pushed to continue his talk and addressed the criticism from the stage.
- Mediaite and Raw Story reported on the incident using event video attributed to the White House, and both identified the host as Turning Point USA, the conservative youth group founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
