Extremist figures and members of the Make America Great Again movement have criticized the wife of Ohio Senator JD Vance after former President Donald Trump named him as his running mate in the 2024 election.

In the wake of Trump's vice presidential announcement on Monday, numerous conservative and far-right figures have taken to social media to launch racist attacks against Usha Vance because of her Indian heritage and the assumption that her influence on her husband's political career means the Republican Party will be softer on immigration.
"I'm sure this guy is going to be great on immigration," Jaden McNeil, a far-right activist and the founder of America First Students, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, while sharing a picture of the Vances with their newborn baby.
Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist who visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home along with rapper Kanye West in November 2022, suggested that Vance would not be a "defender of white identity" because of his wife's Indian heritage.
"Who is this guy, really?" Fuentes said on his podcast. "Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?"
Vincent James Foxx, who was present at the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, wrote on X: "JD Vance gets tapped as VP and immediately there's a Hindu prayer at the RNC. Next we'll see Sen. Mike Lee and JD Vance team up to convince Trump to let in 10 million Indian immigrants. Green cards on diplomas!"
Conservative commentator Stew Peters wrote, "There is an obvious Indian coup taking place in the US right before our eyes," while sharing a screenshot of an article about the Vances' three children.

WIKI——Vance on Immigration and border security
Vance has argued that failing to secure the United States’ southern border has fueled the US opioid epidemic by enabling illegal immigration and drug trafficking into the country, “orphaning an entire generation of kids”.
He is a critic of mass immigration, claiming that it drives down working-class Americans’ wages, increases house prices, and increases strain on social security. He opposes granting legal amnesty to illegal immigrants in the United States and argued that corporations use illegal immigration as a source of cheap labor to undercut the domestic American labor market.
Vance once admonished Trump for demonizing immigrants but has repeatedly called the effects of illegal immigration “dirty”. He has supported Trump’s proposal for a wall along the southern border and rejected the idea that advocates for the wall are racist. Vance has proposed spending $3 billion to finish Trump’s wall.
In 2022, Vance told Tucker Carlson that Democrats “have decided that they can’t win reelection in 2022 unless they bring a large number of new voters to replace the voters that are already here.” This led to Representative Tim Ryan’s allegations that Vance was endorsing the far-right, white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, according to which there is an effort to replace white Americans with immigrants. Ryan later lost to Vance in the 2022 U.S. Senate election in Ohio.
During his 2022 campaign, Vance said that President Joe Biden was flooding Ohio with illegal drugs by not enforcing security at the southern border. The New York Times called the claim “blatantly false”, though other sources disagree.
In 2023, Vance introduced a bill that would make English the United States’ official language.
How come I have not heard of any of these so called conservatives?
Right on!
No, I checked. She is Hindu.
Sincerely yall, I’ve been on X. They were. Fuentes, Wslsh & others. No representatives of the party that I know of, just influencers. I don’t really object to it people having racial views personally. It’s a free country. Everybody is guilty of bigotry. It’s human nature. I don’t like right it on public forums like FR or X when you are discussing or representing the conservative/libertarian/populist movement or political parties. I don’t think it needs to be banned. I just think our side shouldn’t take part in it. The only thing it really does is create an electoral problem for our side. That’s why I cringe when I see anybody on FR doing it. So, I’m sure they have are thinking of some militant lefty while they are doing it, but a lot of black & brown people who are leaning toward Trump/R’s in this election. They see it to. Do you really want to chase those vote away just you can say racist dick things? One guy was saying he was embarrased to have a VP married to a dirty, third world brown chick. That was cringe worthy 😳😖😒🫣😑
None of those guys are MAGA no matter how much the media wants them to be. Name the MAGA people who said it
Great article. They look up some users on twitter or facebook who could be leftist trolls posing as Trump supporters and then build an article around culled comments.
Yes, he was born one. I don’t think Jesus ever thought of himself as anything other than a Jew.
People came up with ‘Christian’ after he was gone.
Come on! There are people on FR who do it & most don’t say anything. I’m almost tired of being the one forced to point it out. I saw them doing it on X. It was cringey because I knew this exact thing would occur: dumb righties would say dumb stuff, woke lefties would see it & send it to the media, the media would do reports on it, somebody would post the news report here on FR & half of the people commenting would make excuses & say that the other guy does it too & it’s a double standard & it’s free speech. It may be free speech. But it’s also dumb & only damages our team in an election year. It’s kind of sad to me bc we have met some new neighbors on our street- black folks & incredibly nice. Eventually at dinner, I tiptoed into politics: they are conservatives!!! They were Obama/Biden voters up to 2020. They thought the lockdowns were bs, became really stressed about the economy & inflation, are so ticked off about illegals under Biden that they want a moratorium on all immigration & a branch of the military defending the border with guns. They are also bothered by the insane cultural stuff happening: adolescent gender surgeries, the alphabet mafia. By 2022, they started voting straight Republican ticket & registered with Republicans. So I told them about FR & they loved it for the most part. They didn’t like some of the racial stuff a few members would say. I gotta say, I don’t leave some members attitudes toward all women. I understand why them might be frustrated, but reading some of the comments can feel a little alienating 🙄
People are people no matter what their racial background is. However, President Trump said we're not getting their best and brightest that illegally flood across our border. We're getting too many criminals, drug addicts and lazy people coming across the border with Mexico.
As for legal immigrants, they are much better quality people. I know a lot of Indian immigrants, many are hard working and decent. But not perfect; Indian/American neighbors opposite my back yard are lazy and self-serving (lots of junk, don't maintain their yard, and are cheap when it comes to paying their share of costs for fixing fences). They have IT tech jobs but are cheap, but are friendly otherwise.
She went to Mnt. Miguel High School and comes from the Rancho Panasquito neighborhood here in San Diego
Go back and read what I said. There are names in the article. I didn’t write the article. And read further what I siad. I said THEY WERE NOT MAGA.
Barron is 18, mothering him? Getting him ready for college maybe.
Ray Epps or Patriot Front?
She’s an accomplished woman, and deservedly so since she’s not
a democrat.
When folks report stuff like this on other forums, I just
block their ass so I don’t have to hear their second
offering to the forum.
In any case, the political power of the vice president’s wife is not really a very big story, is it? What about the defense secretary’s dog? A friend the president had in high school?
