   Gateway pundit never lies that's why they tell you what to think.  Good   
   source.  If they were booing Vance why are they renaming the Olympics and   
   the country of Italy after Trump?   Though Vance has said in the past that   
   he sometimes gets booed because his wife's colored and not a white person   
   or a Christian.   
      
   Trump is truely loved by all mankind, but not women as much.   It's a rapey   
   thing, they make a big deal out of sexual assault these days and Trump's a   
   victim.   
      
   Israel team, JD Vance booed at Olympics opening ceremony   
   By Karolos Grohmann and Rory Carroll Reuters   
      
   U. S. Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance attend the Olympic   
   opening ceremony at the 2026 Winter Olympics, in Milan, Italy, Friday, Feb.   
   6, 2026.   
      
      
      
   Israel's Olympic team walked into the stadium during the Milano Cortina   
   2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday to a smattering of boos,   
   while U. S. Vice President JD Vance received a similar reception at what   
   had otherwise been an upbeat and festive celebration of the global winter   
   sports extravaganza.   
      
   The four-person Israeli delegation, waving the country's flag and smiling,   
   marched into the San Siro stadium during the parade of participating   
   countries with the boos quickly drowned out by the loud soundtrack.   
      
   Cheers for the large U. S. team quickly turned to boos when Vance was shown   
   on the stadium's big screen.   
      
   The chilly reception for Vance was not a surprise as political unrest in   
   the U. S. over federal immigration enforcement has spilled into the Games'   
   host country and fueled protests against the policies of the Trump   
   administration.   
      
      
   The backlash in Italy follows the disclosure that analysts linked to a   
   branch under U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would support   
   the U. S. delegation during the Olympics, as is common at previous Games.

   Hundreds of people took to the streets of Milan earlier on Friday for "ICE   
   OUT" protests.   
      
   In Cortina d'Ampezzo, where a simultaneous parade was held for athletes   
   located in the mountain cluster, the U. S. team were cheered loudly and   
   Israel's athletes also earned some cheers.   
      
   In Predazzo, site of the ski jumping venue, there were some boos for the   
   Israel team.   
      
   Israeli athletes said prior to the opening ceremony they were prepared for   
   a potentially hostile reception following the war in Gaza.   
      
   Since the October start of a truce, Israeli fire has killed nearly 560   
   people, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials.   
   Palestinian militants have killed four Israeli soldiers in the same period,   
   Israeli authorities say.   
      
   "I'm prepared, they can do whatever they want, " Israeli skier Barnabas   
   Szollos said ahead of the opening ceremony. "I just want to have a good   
   race, fun race and do the best I can. "   
      
   Israel has a troubled history at the Olympics with 11 of its athletes   
   killed during an attack by Palestinian militants at the Olympic village   
   during the 1972 Munich Summer Games.   
      
   The International Olympic Committee long refused to pay tribute to them at   
   subsequent Games' opening ceremonies despite continued pressure from   
   relatives and Israel.   
      
   They were finally remembered after 49 years, during the Tokyo Summer   
   Olympics opening ceremony in 2021.
