Vance Mocks Flag-Waving Protester at Dallas Convention

Vice President JD Vance was interrupted by a protester waving a Mexican flag during his keynote address at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday night, prompting a pointed exchange that drew cheers from the crowd before security escorted the demonstrator out of the arena. The incident occurred at the American Airlines Center as Vance delivered the convention's second-night keynote to thousands of Republican voters. According to video and photos shared on social media, the protester stood on the steps leading to the stadium seats and waved a Mexican flag, drawing boos and chants of USA from attendees. Photos of the commotion also appeared to show a Palestinian flag, though that detail has not been independently confirmed. The moment was not captured on the convention's official television feed, and Vance described it for viewers at home. What the people at home missed is that we just had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag, Vance said from behind the podium. Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your a** over there. I'll buy you the plane ticket.
