JD Vance Nearly Caused U.S. Figure Skater To Be Late For Milan Cortina Debut
This hasn’t been JD Vance’s Olympics.
The vice president got booed at the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony. He got scorched on social media for cheering the U.S. women’s hockey team the day before that. Meanwhile, Milanese people have gathered to protest Trump and Vance’s immigration policies, pushing back at ICE’s presence at the Games even though it’s not searching for immigrants.

So what else could the vice president possibly do to stir resentment?
His motorcade blocked American figure skating star Alysa Liu from arriving at the Milano Ice Skating Arena on Friday while she was already running late, The Washington Post reported. Liu was making her Milan Cortina debut in the women’s short program of the team event, and time was running short.
“We almost didn’t make it,” Liu’s coach, Phillip DiGuglielmo, said, per the Post.
Liu finally glided onto the ice on time and kept her composure to finish second behind Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto. When the day was over, the U.S. squad led Japan by two points and Italy by three points.
