Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, attended a National Symphony Orchestra concert at the Kennedy Center on Thursday evening.
Someone in the crowd called for JD Vance to be killed as he sat down.
“Kill that Vice!” a leftist shouted as the audience jeered and booed Vance.
At one point, Vance shouted, “You ruined this place!”

“Audience members had undergone a full Secret Service security check as Vance’s motorcade drew up at the US’s national performing arts centre, delaying the start of the concert by 25 minutes,” The Guardian reported.
President Trump took over as the Kennedy Center’s board chairman last month and said he is immediately putting an end to drag shows.
“At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP! Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP. The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” Trump said last month.
