As Vice President JD Vance paid his respects to the victims of last week’s deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, protesters standing by a “progress pride” flag with transgender colors heckled him from across the street.

Vance, who is Catholic, paid a visit to the site of the shooting and visited with victims and their families on Wednesday.

The vice president and second lady Usha Vance were seen pausing for a moment in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary outside the church before he entered. As he entered, protesters could be heard shouting various slogans, including “protect our kids,” “you’re a coward” and “do better.”

Behind the protesters were signs reading “protect kids not guns” beside a pride flag.
