The Winter Olympic opening ceremony in Italy took place today, and Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha were in attendance.
Quite predictably, the Dems have found a video with commentary that matches what they were hoping for, and they're running with it. "Booed relentlessly"? You be the judge:
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JD Vance was just booed relentlessly at the Olympics. Wow. The Trump-Vance admin is humiliating us on the world stage. pic.twitter.com/06ryMvehDH

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have RUINED America's reputation on the global stage.

We are now BOOED and LAUGHED at by the world!
Total disgrace. https://t.co/TQxio764yW
Doesn't Newsom have a high-speed train project to not start?
Other videos simply don't back that up:
i watched it live and this was just not the case at all the USA and Vance were cheered thunderously

It's possible there were a couple of jeers, but to say Vance was "booed relentlessly" is as ridiculous as, well, every other claim the dishonest Democrats make:

Did you doctor this? An alternate video doesn’t have booing at all. https://t.co/B1z4rVORYn

Another day brings with in another Democrat attempt to spread a failed narrative.
What is stunning Dems is that I listened as many others did live and there were no boos. You are pathetic https://t.co/oAWGGAERoe

It's important to note that the version the Dems are choosing to go with came from a Canadian broadcast:
Funny how CBC is the only version of this you can find on the internet right now https://t.co/9OJwdU8Kft

We're shocked.
Literally sounds like cheers lol

Tomorrow the Dems will be saying that cheering sounds are Italian for booing.
UPDATE:
Even "journalists" got in on the attempted Dem fun, but only briefly:
He deleted it but screenshots are eternal. https://t.co/m8xQbm7LVg pic.twitter.com/CsSpATV8Zo
