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.

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

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.

You’re understanding is wrong unless upwards of $10mil liquid (and I’m sure climbing rapidly due to the surge in book sales and more post-VP pick) isn’t considered “rich rich.”

Correct, that is not rich rich, that is upper class starter pack. He probably doesn't even have a butler!

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Often true, but not always.

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Don't worry. She's one of the good ones.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 months ago

I read it as:

She is not white, but she is sorry and trying her best.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I like the "obviously" part. Yes, thank you for literally stating the obvious.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Because it's "obviously" the first thing he notices every time.

So gross.
