People jeered Vice President  at the Kennedy Center on Thursday night.

"Boos for JD Vance as he enters tonight’s concert at the Kennedy Center," Global Affairs correspondent for The Guardian Andrew Roth tweeted when sharing a video of the episode on Thursday evening.

Vance, seated next to his wife Usha, waved from a balcony amid the cacophony.



Presidential Envoy for Special Missions , who is serving in a leadership post with the Kennedy Center, suggested that people on the political left are "intolerant."

"The intolerant Left are radicals who can’t even sit in the same room with people that don’t vote like they do. What has happened to today’s Democrats? They are so intolerant," he declared when commenting on the episode.

Fox News Digital reached out to Vance's team to request comment on Friday, but no comment was provided.

The event was a National Symphony Orchestra concert, reports indicate.

Vance, the author of the book "Hillbilly Elegy," previously noted that he was shocked to find out that people listen to classical music for enjoyment.

"Elites use different words, eat different foods, listen to different music — I was astonished when I learned that people listened to classical music for pleasure — and generally occupy different worlds from America’s poor," Vance said, according to The New York Times.

The press release stated, "the Board elected President of the United States Donald J. Trump as Kennedy Center Board Chair, replacing former Chair David M. Rubenstein," and "terminated Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter’s contract and announced Richard Grenell as interim Kennedy Center President."

A Kennedy Center press release also noted that more than a dozen new Kennedy Center Board of Trustee members were announced, including Usha Vance, Trump, and others.
