- Protesters displayed poster-sized meme photos of Vance, set up inflatable couches, and wore cat paraphernalia, referencing his childless cat lady comment and a fictitious rumor.
- As Vance's motorcade drove by, crowds yelled “fascist” and held signs with phrases such as “fascists not welcome.”
- Vance's brief time on the island was for a Republican National Committee fundraiser, which reportedly raised $3 million.
