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.

Oh, most definitely.

There was an article a while back dispelling the notion that Melania was some kind of pre-nup prisoner we should feel sorry for. She's just as vile as he is, just in a more appealing package.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And yet, she still seems to really hate him.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

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.

I figured. Just felt I should add something more insightful than "lol yeah" lol.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

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

I've always felt that argument was so lame. "Oh maybe she's a victim here!" Okay, why are we assuming she got to know this man and then married him after doing so, but somehow she missed what a huge piece of shit he is? Makes it sound like we need to assume women might be extremely dumb just in case they could also be seen as the victim. 95% of people are smart enough to see what a piece of shit trump is within the span of a minute. It's why most people who like him, like him.
