They shook hands and Henry pulled out his phone. Vance leaned in for the selfie as the crowd roared. The vice president gave him a quick pat on the back and returned to the microphone.<\/p>\n<p>Vance kept the tone easy for a beat and joked that the next request might be a reporter asking for a photo. He said he was not holding out hope for questions that easy and moved back to policy and press questions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/tone-deaf-protesters-heckle-vance-outside-minneapolis-church-shooting-site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>\u2018TONE-DEAF\u2019 PROTESTERS HECKLE VANCE OUTSIDE MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SHOOTING SITE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rest of Vance&#8217;s remarks focused on law and order and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/crime\/police-and-law-enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support for police<\/a>.
