Vice President JD Vance had a message for graduates during his commencement speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado on Thursday, May 28. His comment comes as several speakers have been booed by graduates during their speeches in recent weeks.

“You know, this is the only commencement speech that I’m giving this year and so I’ve watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where this or that corporate leader will discuss artificial intelligence, AI, and be met with literal boos,” Vance said as he wrapped up his remarks.

“Now, you can’t boo me. I’m the vice president of the United States,” he added, drawing laughs.
