DeFoor identifies as transgender, with an Instagram profile under “Julia DeFoor” using “she/her” pronouns and a Facebook account liking pages including “Heartland Trans Wellness.”
His father, William R. DeFoor Jr., a surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, has made donations to Democratic causes.
Vice President Vance, a leading advocate for the unborn, responded to the incident in a statement: “I appreciate everyone’s well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I’m grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly. We weren’t even home as we had returned already to DC. One request to the media: we try to protect our kids as much as possible from the realities of this life of public service. In that light, I am skeptical of the news value of plastering images of our home with holes in the windows.”
The residence in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood was unoccupied at the time, with Vance and his family in Washington, D.C.
DeFoor has a prior history of vandalism, including an April guilty plea to two counts causing damage to a business, resulting in mental health treatment and restitution.
The attack on the home of Vance, known for his strong defense of life, underscores concerns over political violence amid national debates on protecting the unborn. The investigation continues.
