Vice President J.D. Vance roasted people protesting his event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library on Thursday for speaking in Spanish while waving foreign flags.
The sharp rebuke was captured on video and is quickly going viral.
“We’ve got people waving the Palestinian flag outside, hollering at us in Spanish,” Vance said. “By the way, the Vice President can’t understand what you’re protesting about if you don’t speak the language of everybody else here!”
Vance added, “Not to protestors: if you want the vice president to hear what you’re protesting about, you’ve got to use a language I actually understand.”

Vance’s remarks during the event focused heavily on defending Richard Nixon’s place in history.
The vice president argued that Nixon’s legacy is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance and that the scandal that ended his presidency would barely register in today’s media environment.
“If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy,” Vance said.
“If you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it’s not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump in the first Trump administration.”
Vance also joked that he has a lot in common with the former president.
“Young senator, vice president, writes some bestselling books, is hated by the media,” he said. “It kind of sounds like JD Vance. I’ve always liked Richard Nixon.”
