The 50501 movement protesters reached outside JD Vance’s house on Saturday. The 50501 ‘hands off’ protesters who took to the streets to protest against the Donald Trump administration Saturday reached Vice President JD Vance’s house on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory in northwest DC. One poster seen in an image of a protest outside his house mocked Vance’s best-selling book Hillibilly Elegy. “JD’s Nazi Elegy writing a legacy of shame for your children and History.” JD Vance was in Rome on Saturday though he did not meet Pope Francis. A Vatican statement said JD Vance had a conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin and there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.” It was seen as a snub to the Vice President from Pope who has repeatedly rebuked Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort calling it a “disgrace” and “grave sin” — in a double whammy for the vice president home and abroad. The 50501 Movement stands for 50 protests, 50 states and 1 movement. Its first major protest was on April 5 and today it was scaled up with more than 400 protests taking place across the country. Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for 50501, described the group as a “pro-democracy, pro-Constitution, anti-executive overreach, nonviolent grassroots movement.” On what sets today’s protest apart from the April 5 movement, Dunn said today’s protest is more about awareness and less about protest.
