Members of Vice President J.D. Vance's family gained national attention this past summer when they appeared alongside him at the Republican National Convention (RNC).

Yet according to Fox News, Vance complained that his 3-year-old daughter was left frightened this weekend after getting attention from protestors.

Vance's daughter was made "anxious and scared" by shouting crowd

"Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared," Fox News quoted the vice president as saying in a social media post on Saturday.

"I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone," he continued before adding that "[n]early all of them agreed."

Vance's family was previously confronted by pro-Ukraine protesters on a ski trip

Vance concluded by remarking, "It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a s--- person."

Fox News noted that "Slava Ukraini" is a Ukrainian phrase which means "Glory to Ukraine" and is used by the country's military forces.

What's more, the network pointed out how this is not the first time that Vance has been confronted by pro-Ukraine demonstrators.

The vice president and his family had a similar experience while on a ski trip in Vermont earlier this month, with protestors accusing him of being a "traitor" and telling Vance to "go ski in Russia."

Trump administration official believes Zelenskyy will sign mineral deal

Both protests came following a tense Oval Office meeting which Vance and President Donald Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Much of the discord concerned  Zelenskyy's refusal to sign an agreement which would allow the United States to help develop his country's mineral deposits.

However, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff recently suggested that the situation is about to change.

"I think Zelenskyy has offered to sign it, and we'll see if he follows through," Fox Business quoted Witkoff as saying of the agreement on Thursday.
