JD Vance and backlash go hand in hand; anything he does or talks about, people go after him. This time, he was criticized for bringing his kids to President Donald Trump’s birthday parade in Washington DC, flaunting US troops’ wares. Vance showed up along with his wife, Usha Vance, and their three children, Ewan, Vivek, and Maribel, whom viewers call ‘uncontrollable.’
The pair joined the President and the first lady, Melania Trump, who celebrated his 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the army with huge grandeur.
The Vance family also reportedly gathered in Washington, D.C., for the celebration, which took place along the National Mall with a whopping 7,000 uniformed soldiers, dozens of tanks and military vehicles, several marching bands, and a fireworks show.
Helicopters and World War II-era planes also joined the party, out of which army troops came out with their parachutes down to the White House‘s ellipse, where Vance and his family were enjoying the parade. However, fans were forced to shift their focus to the Vice President’s children concerning their behavior. A fan even shared on social media saying –
“Oh good, J.D. Vance brought his uncontrollable kids.”
“His kids are bad,” another observed.
A third posted, “Troops in the parade looking slovenly, completely out of step. But the most embarrassing lack of discipline is on the stage.”

“JD Vance’s kids can’t sit still for 5 minutes! They’re out of control. Generals are stepping in and trying to distract them,” they finished. A few people had a different reaction as they praised JD Vance for bringing his kids to attendance.
“Love to see the Vance kids,” one gushed.
Another person said, “I love that VP Vance is normalizing bringing their families, even little kids, to important events. I love seeing this.”

“I love our VP and his family. Usha looks great, and the kids are adorable. I would love Vance to be 48,” one said, recommending JD Vance as the next President.
“Watching VP Vance show up with the kids harkened back to JFK and John-John. Having a family in the WH sets a great example,” yet another said.

This reflects how happy JD Vance is with his family, reflecting on his family man trait and how well he brings up his children alongside his wife. Vance married Usha back in 2014. Since then, they have been together with three children. Digging deep into his kids, Ewan is 8 years old, Vivek is 5 years old, and Mirabel is 2 years old. The kids of the Vice President came to the limelight during Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
