US vice-president announces to 10,000 attenders of Turning Point USA that he prefers wife, who is Hindu, to be Christian
JD Vance is doubling down on comments he made about wanting his wife, Usha Vance, to convert to Christianity – remarks that drew political backlash from some quarters.
At an event with Turning Point USA at the University of Mississippi to honor the conservative group’s slain founder Charlie Kirk, an audience member questioned the US vice-president about how he sees the links between American patriotism and Christianity.
“Why are we making Christianity one of the major things that you have to have in common to be one of you guys? To show that I love America just as much as you do?” the audience member asked, after pointing out that Vance’s wife, Usha, is Hindu and they are raising their children in an interfaith marriage.

She knew who she was marrying so I feel nothing for her. But I feel so bad for those poor kids, they will grow up in the center of this racist facist shit storm.
Did she? I mean turning from anti-trump to full blown maga is a pretty hard 180 degree turn. If my partner were to do something like that, I wouldn’t think I’d know them anymore.
Then again, you might be right, and she knowingly married an opportunist without any morals or principles. And then such a turn is just another wednesday.

This is a good summary of his life so you can know what you’re talking about. JD was already attending Yale and buds with peter thiel before she married him (that is, he was already an awful person). And she attended Yale too so she of all people should know how awful people who go to Yale are.
People like this don’t suddenly become this way, he’s probably always been an opportunist willing to sink to any level to get what he wants and the only thing she might be surprised by is the anti Indian hate that is causing problems for her now, I guess she assumed the hate would remain focused on Mexicans, blacks etc.
This isn’t newsworthy. I’m not a fan of Vance at all, but his comments here aren’t even bad. If you read the article, the comments boil down to: “I believe this, I wish she did too, it’s fine if she never does, I love her regardless.” It’s honestly pretty healthy to be able to have that in a relationship.
This is practically at the level of criticizing Obama’s tan suit, and is just noise and distraction in a news cycle filled with actually bad things (multiple wars, the government shutdown, measles outbreaks, a hurricane, etc). Don’t spread this nonsense. It’s fodder for the other side to call people out for being focused on ridiculous, unfounded slights, and allows them to not pay attention to real issues. Make noise about things that matter.
He’s been fucking Kirk’s wife, the couch and probably Moon Boy for all I know.
I keep seeing people claiming he fucked a couch, what did I miss?
Link seems to be broken
Sorry, fixed it now
Thanks 👍
She’ll refuse. Hell divorce her. He’ll marry EK.
Its so dumb that not one dumbass reporter has asked “if christianity is so important to these people how come they’re only deporting groups of people who are more christian on average than the US population?”
Damn he’s threading her publicly? Or is this a fake setup to say “she saw the light?”
Why didn’t he marry a white Christian fascist baby making machine
thats why erika kirk was there. shes a widow, looking for her new grift daddy, and vance is that white grift daddy.
Honestly, he probably couldn’t land an attractive one.
In her mind, she hit the jackpot.
I see that Government by Pro-Wrestling theatrics has given way to Government by Soap Opera theatrics…
Yah, but what does she want? Or doesn’t that matter in their version of Christianity?
shes an aethiest apparently, unlikely she would want to convert. unlike ERIKA kirk.
She wants to be the wife of President Vance, it would seem.
I don’t know for sure that Vance is going to fuck Kirk’s wife, but if he does he was 100% thinking about it at this point
I really hope Usha has a lot of dirt on him.
Sadly the same people covering up the Epstein files would cover up the Vance files with even more effort
I’d say he’s sleeping on the couch, but I think he’d enjoy that. :)
Makes me wonder if this is planned. Oh look how a good christian man can bring a wayward woman to the lord.
Don’t worry, it’s just white nationalism.
