'F*** JD AND HIS COUCH': Dozens of 'Hands Off' Protesters Demonstrate at JD Vance Official D.C. Residence

Far-left demonstrators converged on the official residence of Vice President JD Vance at the Naval Observatory in D.C. on Saturday while he was in Europe with his family for Easter.

Myles Morell, a video reporter for the conservative news outlet The Daily Caller, was among those who captured video of the so-called “Hands Off” protestors outside the Vance home. Other videos were shared on X from different angles. One woman held a handmade sign that read “FUCK JD AND HIS COUCH.” In one clip he posted on X, Morell said he observed several dozen people outside. The clip showed DC police officers standing by.

According to CNN, organizers of the Hands Off movement demand: “An end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities.”

Vance, his wife, and their children visited Rome and the Vatican this weekend. The vice president met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who visited the US earlier in the week. Vance, a practicing Catholic, also met with officials in the Vatican, where some of the Trump administration’s immigration policies were discussed.

ROME and LONDON -- Pope Francis appeared on Sunday in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for an Easter Sunday blessing, after a brief earlier meeting with Vice President JD Vance.

Vance arrived at Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican shortly after 11:30 a.m. local time, the Vatican's Holy See Press Office said in a statement.

"The meeting, which lasted a few minutes, gave them the opportunity to exchange Easter greetings," the office said.

Seated in his wheelchair, he blessed the crowd and said, "Buona Pasqua!" or "Happy Easter!" The pope's Easter message included a call for an end to conflicts in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
