JD Vance’s Family Targeted: Is ‘America First’ Putting His Wife and Kids in Danger?

It started as a quiet family getaway a simple ski trip in Vermont meant to give Vice President JD Vance and his young family a moment of peace. But what unfolded was anything but peaceful.

Hundreds of protesters swarmed the resort where Vance and his wife, Usha, were staying with their children, holding up signs reading “Nazi Scum” and “Go Ski in Russia.” The message was loud, angry, and unmistakable: JD Vance’s America First politics aren’t just unpopular they’re making his family a target.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said a staff member at the resort, who asked not to be named. “There were children in that lodge. His wife looked shaken. This wasn’t protest it was intimidation.”

Vance’s wife, Usha, a Yale Law graduate and mother of three, has also become a target of online harassment, especially from extremist circles who attack the couple’s interracial marriage. One far-right figure went as far as calling her an “agent of globalism,” prompting a fiery response from Vance himself.

“Don’t attack my wife,” he posted on X. “She’s smarter, tougher, and more grounded than you’ll ever be.”

It’s a rare glimpse behind the curtain the personal cost of a political life lived at the extremes. While JD Vance continues to champion the America First agenda, calling for less foreign intervention and stronger national identity, the backlash is growing beyond political attacks. It’s now deeply personal.

And that raises the question: In today’s volatile climate, can any political family especially one this polarizing remain untouched?
