VP Vance’s motorcade takes last-second, surprise route to avoid angry protesters

Anti-Trump leftist protesters love to pick on Vice President J.D. Vance, especially as Vance is usually out and about doing events and in areas where protests are possible.

However, the latest attempt by the seething liberals who lose sleep at night over Vance got a little extra exercise last week after Vance’s motorcade made a surprise route change that forced protesters to sprint across a field to have a chance at wailing and waving their signs at him. 

The situation unfolded in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday, with protesters lined up to shout at the vice president on Copeland Avenue.

Local media outlets captured the maneuver, which involved Vance’s motorcade making a last-second route change that completely ruined the day of the crybaby protesters lined up to scream.

What happened?

Local outlet The Chippewa Herald first captured the surprise route change, noting that Vance’s motorcade raced across to Rose Street, which is typically a one-way northbound street.

Protesters who had gathered on Copeland noticed the route change at the last minute, forcing many of them to literally sprint across a field to get to the street lining the surprise route.

Some of the protesters were especially mad, speaking as if they were somehow wronged by the vice president’s security detail veering away from them.

The Daily Caller noted:

“I knew I couldn’t run fast enough, so I didn’t try,” Carol Nelson of Caledonia, Minnesota, told the outlet. “It was a dirty trick on their part.”

Of the few protesters that actually made it to Rose Street in time to briefly wave their signs, one of them, Marina Dvorak, called the route change a “bait and switch.”

The DC added:

Protesters can be seen standing on either side of a roadway with signs and flags while sirens can be heard, according to footage posted to X by Wisconsin Democrats. Protesters then begin rushing across a grassy field to another street running parallel to the first as vehicles begin driving by. They cheer and hold up their signs as the motorcade continues along the street. An apparent temporary barrier can be seen across the street.

Big feelings

Wisconsin Democrats, the official X account of the state’s wing of the Democratic Party, described Vance’s route change as “disgraceful.”

One can only imagine the delight from Vance’s point of view.

The leftist protesters at least provided a chuckle for everyone that day.
