Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) acknowledged — but did not condemn — white supremacist attacks aimed at his wife, Usha Vance, over her Indian descent on Friday.
“Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is,” former President Donald Trump’s running mate told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show.
He continued, “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. She’s such a good mom, she’s such a brilliant lawyer and I’m so proud of her.”
Trump’s vice presidential pick, who has faced backlash for going after “childless” Democrats in 2021 with a comment he recently called “sarcastic,” added that his wife’s experience has helped give him the perspective that it’s “very hard” for working families in America.
added that his wife’s experience has helped give him the perspective that it’s “very hard” for working families in America.
She’s a lawyer who went to Yale. Her father was a mechanical engineer and her mother was a molecular biologist. They are a working family, but not the type of working family that should give you a new perspective on how hard it is for working families in America. This is the opposite of a working family that struggles for financial security.
Yes, but they have to keep associating “person of color” with “poor” and therefore “crime”. If they don’t keep lumping all non-white people in with other “undesirable” things, some of their followers might look around and realize that non-white people can achieve things on their own too, and that makes non-white folks start to resemble actual human beings a bit too much for their liking. If she was single, he wouldn’t be lauding any of her achievements. The unspoken belief is that women are as incapable as non-whites when there’s no husband involved. The dehumanizing and belittling narrative has to be constant with them or some of their followers might start thinking for themselves.
We interrupt this thread to point out that Peter Thiel is an Enormous Bag of Shit
Especially for someone whose whole identity is based on growing up as a good ol’ Appalachian boy, it’s pretty weird to say he’s learned much of anything about the struggles of working families from his wife’s experiences. Unless --gasp-- perhaps he’s exaggerated the experiences of his childhood?
If he can find difficulty in his upper-class life, why did he join the party that wants to crush people orders of magnitude poorer than him?
Answer: He’s a malicious sociopath and in it entirely for his own enrichment.
Her father was a mechanical engineer and her mother was a molecular biologist.
what, like howard and bernadette?!
Mechanical engineer is surely some good money. But from experience there’s a big spectrum of pay depending on what her mother specifically did as a molecular biologist. Sounds really intense but biology pays pretty shit sometimes haha. I know molecular biologists with PhDs working for 16 an hour at a nonprofit near me.
“She’s cool, she’s with me”
She’s a DEI wife. Some poor white woman was looked over for the very appealing task of being JD Vance’s
couchwife.Just following in Trump’s footsteps, with Melanie taking a job that no American was willing to do.
Vance really is the Diet Mountain Dew to Trump’s original, piss-colored drink.
Yeah but Usha didn’t get the Einstein visa did she. tsk tsk. Maybe if she had applied herself a little harder.
“couchwife”. Brilliant.
She’s not white, but…
Sweet milky cheeses what a horrible sentence!
I am fully aware she is garbage too for marrying that d-bag, but how can she possibly be ok with someone who would even utter this sentence?
rich people don’t get married for the same reasons non rich people do
Still though.
So, per my understanding she (they) are not rich rich, they’re upper class and aiming to be nouveau riche.
The rich rich are actually quite principled on a lot of things, mainly self-preservation. It’s mostly the upper class or nouveau riche, like Trumps etc, who cause a lot of ruckus and lack principles because they have a social ladder to climb.

Correct, that is not rich rich, that is upper class starter pack. He probably doesn’t even have a butler!
Often true, but not always.
Don’t worry. She’s one of the good ones.
I read it as:
She is not white, but she is sorry and trying her best.
I like the “obviously” part. Yes, thank you for literally stating the obvious.
Because it’s “obviously” the first thing he notices every time.
So gross.
LOL the article mentions nick fuentes, whose name i’ve seen, but don’t know much about, so i looked him up. my favorite:
He has described himself as the “straightest guy” and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that “the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel”, as “having sex with women is gay … What’s gayer than being like, ‘I need cuddles. I need kisses … I need to spend time with a woman.’”[30][31][32]
LOL what the chicken fried fuck
4 Chan jokes personified.
Bro I’m so straight I won’t even touch a door nob that a woman touched. Because a man has had his dick on her hand duh. Ain’t no queer
it’s weird how infrequently i say “no way someone’s that fucking dumb” these days. because i always end up being wrong. i wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if i learned he refuses to sit on a public shitter for fear that he’s potentially touching asses with a gay man
Isn’t that why they put those paper things above the toilets? To make sure you don’t have to touch assess with shit for brains incels?
i’m sure he thinks toilet seat covers are gay too. i mean if straight fucking is gay, then doesn’t that make pretty much everything gay?
Imagine deliberately refusing cuddles
i’d guess he’s been deprived of it his entire life, so he inwardly turned it into a “bad” thing to make it make sense to himself. he’ll say EEEeEeEEeWWwwWwW when he sees a couple holding hands while actually wishing someone would even touch him
Oh Yeah definitely. I’m aware that incels are mostly the way they are because they need to cope.
That’s how you get cooties ewh
Also, worth adding, a literal neo-nazi. Also, was part of the InfoWars meeting with Kanye when he said that we shouldn’t be dissing on Hitler all the time.
So yeah, he’s a piece of shit. And that’s the nicest thing you can say about him.
fellas, is it gay to have sex with a woman?
it’s a classic.
JESUS CHRIST
Reminds me of this Steve Huges joke
What an unfortunate life that man lives.
Dude, you fuck girls? Gay
It’s cult-like conditioning perhaps? You can’t control people like mindless drones if they care about others. So yeah, I get why some types of orgs would prefer asexual incels, and why they’d try to make it seem like some desirable, or “alpha” position. What a bunch of losers
That type of cult would be self-limiting though wouldn’t it?
It’s working out so far in practice, see for example https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-30/what-is-opus-dei-secretive-catholic-church-group-prelature/101905802
When they fight, do you think she’s conformable sending him to sleep at the coach?
He ain’t gon be doin much “sleepin”, na’m’sayin?
Because he fucks couches!
But not to completion.
It’s telling that he jumped to defend how much he loves her, and in a way that seemed to be saying “It’s okay, she’s one of the GOOD ones!”, rather than condemning or decrying the racist, hateful acts themselves.
Telling, but not surprising
Every photo of the Vances make me think we’re living in a sitcom. She’s objectivity gorgeous and he looks like a lump of mashed potatoes that rolled into a pile of barber hair.
I assume she’s ugly on the inside since she consented to marry him.
Oh, most definitely.
There was an article a while back dispelling the notion that Melania was some kind of pre-nup prisoner we should feel sorry for. She’s just as vile as he is, just in a more appealing package.
And yet, she still seems to really hate him.
Lol, yeah. Hating him and being just as vile aren’t mutually exclusive.
I know, I just think it’s funny that she hates him despite basically politically being on his side.
Have you looked at him? He isn’t handsome. And we all know what his personality is like. What about him is there to not hate except the emphemeral mirage of money?
If you read the article I think Admiral Patrick is talking about, she really did fall for him. His dad and Trump were buddies and she, for whatever reason, was into the guy and everything he stood for. That’s probably why she has no problem showing her contempt for him now.
I figured. Just felt I should add something more insightful than “lol yeah” lol.
She probably hates him, but loves the lifestyle she can live on his grift.
I’ve always felt that argument was so lame. “Oh maybe she’s a victim here!” Okay, why are we assuming she got to know this man and then married him after doing so, but somehow she missed what a huge piece of shit he is? Makes it sound like we need to assume women might be extremely dumb just in case they could also be seen as the victim. 95% of people are smart enough to see what a piece of shit trump is within the span of a minute. It’s why most people who like him, like him.
With 100% certainty she is utterly despicable.
See, he can’t actually go after these attacks for being the racist epithets that they are, because that would offend the Republican base. He’s got to thread that needle of “defending his wife” and “still being racist.”
What a man. Loves his wife despite her not being white. So touching.
He continued, “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. She’s such a good mom, she’s such a brilliant lawyer and I’m so proud of her.”
Jesus… Unwilling to condemn even when they’re attacking the so-called love of your life. I sure hope rapists don’t get some part of their platform too. His wife might be subject to so much worse…but he loves her…such a good mom.
Talk to Rafael, it’s part of the program
I was watching a Meidas Touch video and they were showing some conservative influencer trying to defend Shady Vance and basically said the same thing - that he’s such a good dad and husband.
Conservatives only care about roles, not people, and your role is determined by the color of your skin and your wealth.
I had to make sure there was a photo of them in the same room
attacked by some white supremacists over that
That sort of implies that there are other white supremacists he doesn’t have a problem with, right?
and he said like her skin color was an affliction that they would cure if they were able to
and talked about her like a male porn performer talks to a female performer “He is so proud of her and her performance.”
That’s too respectful for porn
There is some variability to white supremacists. My cousins (lifelong Floridians, naturally) are white supremacists despite being half-Thai. They probably don’t have any problem with Usha - for them, white supremacy is about hating people of African descent specifically.
"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. "
Shortens to:
“…she’s not a white person… But I just love Usha”
With implied reasoning:
“…she’s not a white person… But I just love Usha (anyway)”Man, to be that into the whole “If I just act whiter, I’ll be accepted” that she must go through in her head every, single, day of her life just to be white adjacent is just mind blowing to me.
She’s so emotionally damaged from believing in the whole model minority myth that she’s okay with being shit on by her husband and his party every single day of her life just makes me so utterly sad that she’s so broken that way.
and up until recently she hated trump https://www.thedailybeast.com/usha-vance-was-appalled-by-jan-6-and-trump-friends-spill
Until recently HE hated trump, so no surprise here.
The dude had a Hindu wedding ceremony and is mostly vegetarian at home. He doesn’t strike me as particularly bigoted against his wife. If she’s got an inferiority complex, it likely comes from comparing herself to upholstery.
She may not be white, or have throw cushions, but god damnit he tolerates her regardless!
Hey, anyone willing to wear a bottlenose in bed is good enough for Vance.
