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.

And of course, you added the ‘brown’ in there.
Do you know how many ‘brown’ people in the world are Christian?
I DID NOT NOT NOT! USE THE WORD “BROWN” in MY post.
If you read read Cronos’ post to me, you will see that HE added a whole parenthetical phrase into the middle of what I posted. HE used the words “white” and “brown”. I DID NOT. I WOULD NOT.
Obviously, he tried to “set me up”. Apparently, it worked because you fell for it.
You asked, “Do you know how many ‘brown’ people in the world are Christian?”
I absolutely do! Many of my friends from seminary, my cousins, and my cousins’ kids, are missionaries to brown and black people on foreign mission fields. Just yesterday, my cousin and his wife received an award from their mission board for 50 years of faithful service.
You should see my dinner table at holidays. White, black, brown.
I will request an administrator to remove Cronos’ despicable post to me. You don’t quote someone and insert your own nasty editorials.
If this is what happened, I sincerely apologize.
But you are still on the hook for blatant religious prejudice, with which I doubt very much the Founders would agree. Such brilliant and farseeing men could not have failed to envision that the day would come when Americans would be of many different faiths. (For instance, there were Jews in America almost from the beginning, and most of them supported our Revolution.)
“If this is what happened”
No “if” about it. You can go back through the thread an verify. Of course, I did report Abuse on Cronos’ post so it may have been removed by now.
It’s interesting how you avoid the main points of posts to you, or ignore them altogether when you are afraid of the blowback you might receive by answering sincerely.
In the thread entitled “Who Is J. D. Vance’s Wife? All About Usha Chilukuri Vance’ you stated in post 45: “It’s shameful that we easily could have a Hindu FLOTUS in the near future, Shame on Trump”
And in post 121, When I stated that you would object to having a Catholic FLOTUS, you said, “correct’. When I told you that Melania Trump is a Catholic, you didn’t answer.
Maybe you should have those posts removed too.

They are named and quoted in the article, though I would not associate them with "MAGA" - they are nutcases that the MSM likes to claim are mainstream Republicans/conservatives. But Stew Peters, Fuentes, etc. are fringe nutcases, though they do have their followers here, unfortunately.
One poster the other day on a thread here even attacked Vance's wife as a "DEI wife" because of her race...which was no surprise, as this poster has previously stated that the US should be a country only for pure whites 100% European ancestry...."proud" to be racist.
Didn’t mean to leave that post hanging.
Thank you. I wasn’t aware of her at all, so that helped.
Is it your argument that displaying religious bigotry is somehow better than race based bigotry? Surely then you should have no problems with Christians being persecuted in non-christian countries, after all it would only be religious bigotry codified by law.
In any case, it’s a moot point now. And I stopped caring about it a couple days ago. If Trump wants to dilute America’s foundation and make us even weaker, it’s his choice
To which I asked "So no Germans, Irish, Poles, Jews, Italians etc etc?”
You did not specify that it was just the non-Christianity of this that you objected to - as the same argument was used initially against Mennonite and other Germans, then Jews from Eastern Europe, Catholics from Ireland, Poland, Italy etc.
His WIFE is a practicing Hindu -- JD Vance has shown himself to be a practicing Christian and HE is standing for election, not her
You don’t understand.
It does seem that I don't understand your thinking though i doubt i'm the only one. You however have displayed a lack of understanding of how your outrage at the idea that people might think that you are racially bigoted looks to everyone else when you have displayed religious bigotry almost continuously.
Does beg the question whether you think religious bigotry is somehow preferable to bigotry based on race.
He isn't but neither is his wife vegan. Vegetarian, not vegan. All she said was that he got her mom to teach him to cook vegetarian for her.
” JD Vance has shown himself to be a practicing Christian and HE is standing for election, not her”
I never said she was. Unlike Democrats who can’t see beyond the here-and-now, I’m thinking ahead. He CAN become POTUS. Nancy Reagan made RR take actions, and plan his schedule, around her astrologer’s (Quigley, I think) strong input. That’s forbidden in Scripture. We all know about Edith Wilson. Hillary had her filthy fingers in Americans’ lives when Bill wanted her to run our healthcare system. God only knows what Jill is up to.
We’d be stupid to assume that husbands don’t act on career advice from their wives. On that basis, I’d prefer the advice come from someone NOT polytheistic. (Not that Christians don’t have/give terrible advice, because we all know they do.)
Happily for all of us, for those who don’t care whether it’s God or gods setting policy and law, this is America and everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
We can pray she finds salvation in Jesus.
She was at the speech last night.
