‘You Gonna F*** a Couch Buddy!?’ Vance and Hegseth Booed, Heckled By Protestors at DC’s Union Station

Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were greeted with loud boos during their trip to Union Station on Wednesday.

The two men — who were also joined by Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — visited Washington, D.C. amid President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. During this visit, they met with National Guard troops who appeared to be taking a break at the Shake Shack restaurant inside the station. Trump deployed the troops into the city last week in an effort to reduce crime.

Vance gave remarks to the troops in the burger restaurant and thanked them for their service.

As soon as their entourage walked out of the restaurant, however, the vice president and the secretary of defense received a much different reception. In multiple videos posted online, Vance and Hegseth were relentlessly booed the moment they came into view in the station’s main hall.

The crowd turned out to be protestors. In a video posted by Daily Signal reporter Elisa McCue, members of the crowd could be heard shouting various insults in their direction — including “couch f*cker” and “fascist scum.” They also brought a sign that read, “Israel’s lies are crumbling.” One heckler could clearly be heard saying, “You gonna f*ck a couch, buddy.”
