[quote=Anonymous]Vance is saying he didn’t know about the river being altered…he does seem to have a knack of getting into trouble on every vacation he takes.  Unlike his trip to see Pope Francis, at least no one died this time.

Military engineers raised the levels of a river in Ohio so the Secret Service could provide security to Vice President JD Vance during a family boating trip, agency officials said Thursday.

Taylor Van Kirk, a spokeswoman for Mr. Vance, said the vice president had not been aware the request had been made to alter the water flow into the Little Miami River on Aug. 2. The Vances took the boat excursion on the vice president’s 41st birthday.

“The Secret Service often employs protective measures without the knowledge of the vice president or his staff, as was the case last weekend,” Ms. Van Kirk said.

Ohio Democrats and others criticized the trip after The Guardian reported that river levels were raised for it.
