Sports commentator Sarah Spain used her podcast to launch a vitriolic attack on Vice President JD Vance after spotting him at a U.S. womens hockey game during the Winter Olympics, declaring that his presence made her feel physically sick and likening him to a demon.
During an episode of Good Game with Sarah Spain, the ESPN personality recounted her day at the Games, noting that she had gone on a tour of the athlete village, and that one of the highlights included seeing the torch relay, as reported by Breitbart. She also described covering the U.S. Womens Hockey team matchup between the United States and Czechia, where Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived twelve minutes into the first period.
Heres what wasnt so great, Spain explained. We had barely sat down, we were just a few minutes into the first period of the game, when all of a sudden theres tons of commotion a few rows below us. She said the disruption began in the media section, where there were a couple rows of long tables for media, and where staff had computers, and monitors that have replays, and things like that.
Spain added that there were also a couple rows, mostly vertically, with a couple seats apiece that the rest of the media are sitting in. According to her account, that quiet work area was suddenly overrun by security and staff accompanying the Vice President and Rubio.
Twelve minutes into the first period, that area suddenly is awash with large men in suits, with earpieces, and here comes JD Vance carrying a child, Spain continued. And a bunch of the security, and eventually Marco Rubio, and I presume his wife.
Spain then shifted from describing the scene to attacking Vance personally, saying, When I see JD Vances eyeliner face, I literally feel ill. She added that she felt like she just looked at a demon.
My body felt like when you have been spooked, and you have a little tingle that feels like, Ooh, somethings not right,' Spain explained. Or like when you get in a situation, and you feel likeoh, the energys bad, something could go wrong here, or maybe I should get out of here, or something dangerous, or this doesnt feel right thats what my body felt like.
After unleashing those remarks, Spain took to the leftist social media platform Bluesky to preemptively defend herself from backlash. She told followers that if they saw some weird comments on her Instagram that she had not yet removed, it was because she was called out for criticizing a pedophile-protecting, American-who-was-executed-by-ICE-slandering person, according to Outkick, underscoring how casually some in sports media now demonize conservative leaders like President Donald Trumps vice president and his allies.
