At issue is the fact that Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants, which is leading some far-right influencers to be suspicious that he won’t really be as tough on immigration as they hope.

    These fucks must have forgotten that trump has an eastern European mail-order bride as his 3rd wife, who had an anchor baby and then used her citizenship to get her parents brought over.

    It’s like all the shit they bitch about immigrants doing, and their god king facilitates it.

      The same people that called her “classy” compared to Michelle Obama. Yeah, the “classy” woman whipped nude for a magazine and overstayed her visa.

        Far-right propagandists ran hit pieces on the Obama “War on Christmas.” Then we have a sour goblin literally ask, “who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff,” and none of them remark on it.

        They are all disingenuous liars with zero integrity. Truth does not matter in the slightest.

      She’s pretty, so it doesn’t matter.

      I saw someone sharing a picture of her on Facebook the other day gushing about how beautiful she is (identifying her as “First Lady”).

      I almost responded, “The current First Lady has a PhD in English and continued her teaching position while her husband is in office. Why aren’t we sharing her picture and celebrating her accomplishments?”

      But what would be the point?

        Catalog candy? E-receipt Extended Experience Escort? Money Matrimony Model?

        I think Melania is good with any of those, as long as she gets the cash off his corpse. No disrespect to her. A lot of people have let trump ride them for a lot less.

    Out there somewhere some MAGAt thinks she’s Native American when they see the word “Indian.”

    Seriously though, attacking her because she is a POC or child of immigrants is wrong. If she’s this supportive of him, attack her bc she’s a fascist POS.

    Is this kind of stuff still news in 2024? They’ve been doing this for years now. Honestly, the real news would be if one of them said something respectable, otherwise it’s just business as usual.
