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.

    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.
