J.D. Vance Says His Wife Has Been Subjected to Racist Attacks --- but he stopped short of condemning them.

Almost immediately after Donald Trump announced J.D. Vance as his running mate, white supremacists began attacking J.D.’s wife, Usha Vance, for her Indian heritage and being a practicing Hindu. They disparaged the couple’s interracial children, with one right-wing pundit questioning whether “the guy who has an Indian wife” would “support White identity.”

As the racist comments piled on, Trump and Vance have been mostly silent on the subject. On Friday, Vance finally acknowledged that his wife is being targeted — though he stopped short of condemning white supremacy.

“Look, I love my wife so much,” Vance told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show. “I love her because she’s who she is. Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.” He added that Usha is “such a good mom. She’s such a brilliant lawyer, and I’m so proud of her,” and noted that “her experience has given me some perspective on the way in which it’s really hard for working families in this country.”

This comes at a time when anti-hate organizations like Stop AAPI Hate say they’re “seeing a dangerous pattern of political leaders, conservative commentators, and far-right extremists blatantly targeting South Asians.” In response to the comments about his wife, Vance could have called out white supremacy or educated listeners about multicultural households, which are on the rise in the U.S. Instead, he used his on-air time to double down on his views about how “childless cat ladies” want to ruin everyone’s lives. Sounds about right.

Maybe he wouldn't mind putting a target on her? Just saying, of course.

She's not white but she obeys. White bitches never listen know what I mean?

by Anonymousreply 4July 29, 2024 8:10 PM

She's not white but she makes up for it. She has her good points. And they say romance is dead.

2 year prediction - Vance is caught having an affair with a big blonde Fox News airhead type.

5 year predication - Vance is now a Mormon with a MLM grift.

2- year prediction - Vance is an evangelical on the God channel selling doomsday buckets.

No way is this shady prick done taking on new identities. He will change each time he meets a rich daddy type who will mentor him.

Is it because I'm wearing blackface? MAMMY!

MAGAts are fine with sacrificing their own kids to Trump by not getting them vaxxed. So it's no surprise he's fine with sacrificing his own wife. And don't waste any sympathy on her, she's just as crazy as he is.

Why is nobody asking Vance what religion he’s raising his children in? It’s a legitimate question. He’s chasing the white Christian vote and the Desi vote. So which is it? Catholicism or Hinduism? Jesus or Vishnu?

Craven, Dickless, Asshole. Poor, Usha.

I don't feel sorry for her one bit. You know what they say: if you lie down with dogs... Or, in this case, dolphins.

He doesn't mention that the attacks come from his supporters, does he?

by Anonymousreply 11July 29, 2024 11:10 PM

Vance & Trump won't condemn the racist attacks on Vance's wife because they know that racists form a big part of the GOP base.

Same reason that Trump refused to condemn Kanye and Nick Fuentes for their anti-semitic comments last year after he had dinner with them.

He'll scuttle her and the half brown kids off when he meets his next bleached, botoxed and fillered maga wife. One thing at a time, folks!

Clearly he’s not that emotionally attached to her, or he expected blowback.

He sounded like he was about to say nobody's perfect.

Her nipples look like Hershey’s Kisses!

He converted to Catholicism 4 years ago. Why? His wife isn’t Catholic. Usually men who convert to Catholicism in middle age are British homosexual authors..

by Anonymousreply 17August 1, 2024 10:31 PM

He probably wanted to join Opus Dei.

by Anonymousreply 18August 1, 2024 10:55 PM

He was sad a priest didn't grab his junk when he was a kid. Time to make up for it. Or, maybe it was a request from his paleo-Catholic sugar daddy, Peter Thiel.

He loves his wife so very, very much ... but won't condemn racism.

I got your number, shitbag.

How could this have happened?

This is good news and Trump doesn’t care.

Is the Christian right okay with a second lady who worships animal-headed deities?

Now that we know he likes cock, I assume you mean a big blond – as in male – airhead type.

JD is Peter Thiel’s boy.

There are much younger ones auditioning.

I hope she divorces him and puts out one hell of a tell-all memoir.

He's like Mitch McConnell. Marries a non-White woman whose ethnicity Trump goes after, but who is too chickenshit to defend his wife.

But on the other hand, do these wives even really care? I mean, there's something wrong with them anyway to have married these creeps.

So IMO these assholes all deserve each other. And Vance's kids will probably grow up to be like Trump's.

The way he talks about this, it is almost as though he loves her DESPITE the fact that she is not white. As though her non-whiteness was something that he had to actually overcome in order to grow to love her and marry her.

This is a woman who went to Yale, so she is most likely intelligent enough to read between the lines and discern what her husband is really saying here. Assuming he has not already made it clear in other ways during the conduct of their relationship.

Embarrassing.
