Vice President JD Vance faced repeated interruptions from antiwar protesters during a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia on Tuesday night. The protesters shouted criticism of wars in the Middle East and American support for Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.
One heckler interrupted Vance as he criticized Pope Francis, shouting about the war in Iran while Vance told the crowd to "be careful when he talks about matters of theology" regarding the pontiff. Multiple sources described the event as having a small crowd despite being part of a major conservative speaking tour.
Turning Point USA regularly hosts events at college campuses to promote conservative viewpoints to students. The organization has become a major player in Republican politics, particularly among younger voters.
The protests reflect growing campus activism against U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Similar demonstrations have erupted at universities nationwide as students demand changes to American military support abroad.
The protests show growing opposition to U.S. involvement in Middle East conflicts, even at events meant to support the current administration. College campuses have become key battlegrounds for debates over American foreign policy.
More Turning Point USA campus events are scheduled. Watch for continued protests at political events.
