JD Vance Tells U.S. Air Force Grads They Can't Boo His Commencement Speech Because 'I'm the Vice President of the United States'
Vice President JD Vance had a message for graduates at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado during his commencement speech on Thursday, May 28.
In a moment that has since gone Viral, Vance told graduates that they weren’t allowed to boo him because “I'm the vice president of the United States.”
Vance's quip comes as several commencement speakers were met with boos at the mention of artificial intelligence: including real estate executive Gloria Caulfield during her speech at the University of Central Florida, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt who was booed at the University of Arizona graduation ceremony during remarks about AI and the world his company helped build, and Scott Borchetta, who told booing audience members — including graduates from Middle Tennessee State University's media and entertainment school that bears his name — to “deal with it” as he discussed the integration of AI into his industry.
On Thursday, Vance headed boos off at the pass, though he was not as laudatory about AI as other graduation speakers.
