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.

    And yet, she still seems to really hate him.

      Lol, yeah. Hating him and being just as vile aren’t mutually exclusive.

        I know, I just think it’s funny that she hates him despite basically politically being on his side.

          Have you looked at him? He isn’t handsome. And we all know what his personality is like. What about him is there to not hate except the emphemeral mirage of money?

            If you read the article I think Admiral Patrick is talking about, she really did fall for him. His dad and Trump were buddies and she, for whatever reason, was into the guy and everything he stood for. That’s probably why she has no problem showing her contempt for him now.

      She probably hates him, but loves the lifestyle she can live on his grift.
