Critics question JD Vance’s ‘weird’ defense of wife Usha after white supremacist attacks

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.

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.”

PlasticExistence ,

That’s too respectful for porn

“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.

worldwidewave ,

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.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Yeah but Usha didn’t get the Einstein visa did she. tsk tsk. Maybe if she had applied herself a little harder.

homesweethomeMrL ,

“couchwife”. Brilliant.

When they fight, do you think she’s conformable sending him to sleep at the coach?

qarbone ,

He ain’t gon be doin much “sleepin”, na’m’sayin?

BossDj ,

Because he fucks couches!

But not to completion.

What’s Vance’s favorite part of a Simpsons episode?

I’m not sure here… Are you implying that the couch doesn’t consent or that the couch is kinky?

Nougat ,

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."

thedridge ,

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.

TrickDacy ,

Telling, but not surprising

LEDZeppelin ,

She is one of the good ones

curbstickle ,

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?

solsangraal ,

rich people don’t get married for the same reasons non rich people do

curbstickle ,

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.

misterundercoat ,

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.

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.

Kiernian ,

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

Taako_Tuesday ,

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?

todd_bonzalez ,

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.

what, like howard and bernadette?!

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.

Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

AFKBRBChocolate ,

The couch things was funny, but it’s not the reason to hate Vance, and posting this comment in every single thread about him is annoying. We can do better.

LNRDrone ,

Yeah there are legitimate reasons to not like this guy, focusing on the silly coach joke is just a distraction really

todd_bonzalez ,

This is the 26th time you’ve spammed this.

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

Interesting. I count 18 in my comment history, and usually if a comment is removed it would still be in my comment history as removed. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

jprice ,

JD Vance is a bitchass cunt and won’t defend anyone because of that fact.

ericatty ,

Did you really say "removed"ass? Because if you did not, I do not understand the censorship filter on here. If you did, it’s funny.

JaymesRS ,

Must be your filter. This is what I see.

They said btchass, you’re on the .ml instance so btch gets censored for sexism or whatever.

Poor doggies.

solsangraal ,

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

TwoBeeSan ,

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

solsangraal ,

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

JESUS CHRIST

Zetta ,

What an unfortunate life that man lives.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

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

Reminds me of this Steve Huges joke
