He thought his family was safe.<\/p>\n
Then, just after midnight, a hammer smashed through the quiet outside JD Vance\u2019s Cincinnati home.<\/p>\n
Secret Service agents sprinted toward the sound, finding a man allegedly breaking windows,<\/p>\n
vandalizing a government vehicle, and trying to force his way inside. An upscale neighborhood.<\/p>\n
A vice president away in Washington.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the unidentified suspect was quickly tackled and detained by<\/p>\n
Secret Service agents before he could get inside the Walnut Hills residence,<\/p>\n
then handed over to Cincinnati police on suspicion of property damage.<\/p>\n
Vice President Vance and his family were not home, having left for Washington the previous afternoon,<\/p>\n
but the incident shattered any illusion of distance between national politics and personal safety.<\/p>\n
The house has long been a flashpoint, drawing protesters over Vance\u2019s positions on Ukraine and<\/p>\n
other issues, including a tense episode in which demonstrators allegedly confronted him while he walked with his young daughter.<\/p>\n
Vance has publicly railed against those who bring political rage to his front door.<\/p>\n
Now, with a hammer-wielding intruder targeting his home, the line between political dissent and dangerous escalation looks thinner\u2014and more fragile\u2014than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
