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.

Many legal immigrants that I know and who had to move heaven and earth to get here are PO’d about the ones flooding in without doing the work.
Never heard of Fuentes, but HE’S A MORON AND A LIAR!!
Yup.
Newsweek should not be considered a news source.
I was talking with someone here the other day who didn’t like the idea that there could be a Hindu FLOTUS in our future. There are prejudiced people everywhere, FR isn’t free of them.
Newsleak again writing up trash so MAGA gets are up in arms.. not going to work
Newsweek?
It’s BS.
It’s a nonsense story about a couple of kooky people who they want to associate with the political right. They wouldn’t write such an article about Louis Farrakhan supporting Biden. Indeed they wrote articles about Biden renouncing Farrahkan’s support.
I wonder if they realize his wife was born in the USA 🇺🇸.
Where is Melania anyway? Is she not supporting her husband anymore?
At least give JD a chance to come out and give his position on H1-B /Student visa scammers from India before you attack him. The sudden Silicon Valley support for Trump/Vance is more concerting than Vance’s indian wife.
Hopefully he is against flooding the country with these people but one shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
Trump’s wife is a Catholic. I thought Catholics worship ‘idols’ in your opinion.
I don’t blame them a bit. It’s like someone studying like mad, doing well on a test, and the cheater next to him getting the same mark. Or making a withdrawal from your account at the bank while the guy sticking up the bank is getting the money that he didn’t deposit. It’s just wrong.
Republican Party will be softer on immigration?
Get your head out of your azz.
You have no place in the Republican Party.
No, DT will do immigration the right way for all America
and foreigners while you sleep with America’s real enemies.
Dumb question. Why dont you ask that again after Trumps speech and the closing of the convention tomorrow night?
She looks like a nice lady and has a beautiful smile and JD loves her because his anniversary came before other things.
Good question. I just think she likes to keep a low profile, at least for now, and stay around Baron. I hope she’ll be there tomorrow night. The real political family members are the boys and their wives. Even Tiffany, though there this week, seems to be a little more removed. I don’t blame them.
Desantis is going to smoke JD in the next primary.
Very true. Ther are a few that also criticize Melania because she is from Slovenia.
