Vice President JD Vance was heckled by protesters as his motorcade left a restaurant in California on Sunday.

The Context
Vance was in San Diego over the Fourth of July weekend to attend events as part of his role as the finance chair of the Republican Party.
He also attended the Claremont Institute’s 2025 Statesmanship Award dinner that was held in his honor in the city on Saturday night.
What To Know
Video posted on social media showed people gathered on the street booing Vance’s Secret Service motorcade as it left the restaurant.
Some called out Vance for dining at an exclusive restaurant while flash floods were hitting Texas. The death toll from the floods has now climbed to more than 100 people.
One man said: “Hope your Michelin-starred sushi was worth it with 82 people dead in Texas! Thanks for cutting the National Weather Service.”
Another protester shouted: “Get the hell out of San Diego, a******!”
