JD Vance, along with Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller, distributed burgers to National Guard troops deployed in Washington D.C. Their action was met with protests and chants of "Free DC!" Vance justified the troop deployment, citing concerns about safety and homelessness, while dismissing protesters as out of touch. Miller echoed Vance's sentiments, calling protesters "crazy communists." The deployment, ordered by President Trump, involves approximately 1,900 troops from predominantly Republican states, despite a recent drop in D.C.'s crime rate.
