JD Vance Forced Protesting ‘Geriatric, Obese, Diabetic Libs’ to Get Some Exercise [WATCH]

Vice President J.D. Vance traveled to La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday to highlight the administration’s recently signed economic package known as “The Big, Beautiful Bill.”

His visit drew both supporters and a crowd of approximately 150 protesters who gathered outside the event, according to local reporting from WEAU.

The legislation, signed into law last month, marks one of the largest tax cut packages in U.S. history.

It eliminates federal taxes on tips and overtime pay, provides tax relief for working families, and establishes incentives designed to encourage investment in American-based manufacturing.

Vance delivered remarks at Mid-Steel in La Crosse, where he underscored the goals of the law and emphasized the administration’s commitment to boosting wages and expanding domestic industries.

“What the working families tax cuts did is simple, ladies and gentlemen. It let you keep more money in your pocket,” Vance told the audience.

“It rewarded you for building a business or working at a business right here in the United States of America. It makes it easy for you to take home more of your hard-earned pay, and it makes it easier if you’re an American manufacturer or an American business … to build your facility or expand your facility right here in the United States of America.”

While Vance focused his remarks on the bill’s economic impact, demonstrators organized along a nearby street in anticipation of his motorcade.

The group carried signs and positioned themselves on the route they expected him to take.

According to reports, Vance’s team chose to bypass the demonstrators by traveling along an adjacent roadway.

The Wisconsin Democratic Party later claimed that the alternate route was a one-way street, though authorities did not indicate that traffic laws had been violated.

The protests coincided with Vance’s continued tour across the Midwest promoting the economic package.

The administration has argued that the legislation represents a major shift in federal tax policy, one intended to prioritize American workers, reduce burdens on small businesses, and encourage companies to invest in U.S. operations.

The vice president’s appearance in Wisconsin followed other stops in manufacturing hubs across the region.

Administration officials have said the bill’s long-term aim is to keep more income in the hands of working families while ensuring that industries critical to the U.S. economy remain competitive in the global marketplace.

The Secret Service and local law enforcement managed crowd control during the demonstration, and no major incidents were reported.

Officials confirmed that protesters were able to assemble peacefully outside the event while Vance addressed workers inside the facility.

The visit in La Crosse underscored the White House’s effort to keep attention on the economic legislation, which is expected to have wide-reaching effects on household budgets and business planning over the coming years.

Supporters have pointed to its potential to reduce tax burdens on hourly workers and increase opportunities for domestic manufacturing, while opponents have questioned the scale of the cuts and the broader fiscal implications.

Vance’s message in Wisconsin remained focused on the administration’s position that American families and businesses stand to benefit directly from the law.

“It let you keep more money in your pocket,” he repeated, stressing that the policy reflects a commitment to both the workforce and to strengthening American industry.

The event at Mid-Steel marked one of several stops Vice President Vance is scheduled to make as part of a broader campaign to explain the provisions of “The Big, Beautiful Bill” and its intended economic impact nationwide.
