0:52Now PlayingAs President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., continued Wednesday, protesters booed Vice President JD Vance during a photo op with the troops stationed in the city.
The protesters jeered Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as they visited Union Station, blocks from the U.S. Capitol, to thank the troops.
The chants drowned out much of what Vance, Hegseth and Miller said as they tried to speak to reporters.
