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.
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.
