Gateway pundit never lies that's why they tell you what to think. Good source. If they were booing Vance why are they renaming the Olympics and
the country of Italy after Trump? Though Vance has said in the past that
he sometimes gets booed because his wife's colored and not a white person
or a Christian.

Trump is truely loved by all mankind, but not women as much. It's a rapey thing, they make a big deal out of sexual assault these days and Trump's a victim.

Israel team, JD Vance booed at Olympics opening ceremony
By Karolos Grohmann and Rory Carroll Reuters

U. S. Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance attend the Olympic opening ceremony at the 2026 Winter Olympics, in Milan, Italy, Friday, Feb.
6, 2026.



Israel's Olympic team walked into the stadium during the Milano Cortina
2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday to a smattering of boos,
while U. S. Vice President JD Vance received a similar reception at what
had otherwise been an upbeat and festive celebration of the global winter sports extravaganza.

The four-person Israeli delegation, waving the country's flag and smiling, marched into the San Siro stadium during the parade of participating
countries with the boos quickly drowned out by the loud soundtrack.

Cheers for the large U. S. team quickly turned to boos when Vance was shown
on the stadium's big screen.

The chilly reception for Vance was not a surprise as political unrest in
the U. S. over federal immigration enforcement has spilled into the Games' host country and fueled protests against the policies of the Trump administration.


The backlash in Italy follows the disclosure that analysts linked to a
branch under U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would support
the U. S. delegation during the Olympics, as is common at previous Games.

Hundreds of people took to the streets of Milan earlier on Friday for "ICE OUT" protests.

In Cortina d'Ampezzo, where a simultaneous parade was held for athletes located in the mountain cluster, the U. S. team were cheered loudly and Israel's athletes also earned some cheers.

In Predazzo, site of the ski jumping venue, there were some boos for the Israel team.

Israeli athletes said prior to the opening ceremony they were prepared for
a potentially hostile reception following the war in Gaza.

Since the October start of a truce, Israeli fire has killed nearly 560
people, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials. Palestinian militants have killed four Israeli soldiers in the same period, Israeli authorities say.

"I'm prepared, they can do whatever they want, " Israeli skier Barnabas Szollos said ahead of the opening ceremony. "I just want to have a good
race, fun race and do the best I can. "

Israel has a troubled history at the Olympics with 11 of its athletes
killed during an attack by Palestinian militants at the Olympic village
during the 1972 Munich Summer Games.

The International Olympic Committee long refused to pay tribute to them at subsequent Games' opening ceremonies despite continued pressure from
relatives and Israel.

They were finally remembered after 49 years, during the Tokyo Summer
Olympics opening ceremony in 2021.
