"It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s**t person," he added.

The incident comes just days after Vance and his family were mobbed by Ukrainian protestors while they were on a family trip in Vermont on March 2.

People were seen booing him and holding posters that read - "Vance is a traitor. Go ski in Russia," and "JD Vance, Zelensky is 10X the man you are".

Some were even seen alleging via posters that the US President Donald Trump "serves" Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

The series of anti-Vance protests erupted after the disastorous White House meeting of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the US President Donald Trump - in presence of Vance.
