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.

Wasn’t Trump’s mother an immigrant?
Also some black democrat said the assassin should have taken more target practice or something like that ... can everyone in the black community be condemned for that remark.
I remember when Newsweek wasn’t garbage. (Tells how old I am)
Wish folks, here, would stop posting NewsWEAK Bea Ess.
meanwhile the left likes to allow the fringes to become the mainstream of their party. And Newsweek says nothing.
Look, I thought she was the most gracious and classy First Lady we have ever had. She’s been very noticeably absent for quite awhile.
I fully support her right to worship as she believes. I’m willing to bet that she even supports YOUR right to worship as you please.
How do you know?
Stormfront types who are parasites on the conservative movement. What credible conservative uses the term “white identity”?
Right on, Jamestown! Up-arrow if I could.
In Usha's case, J.D. Vance's wife is was born in San Diego, California. Her parents, who are of Indian descent, were in the United States legally when she was born.
JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy were college roommates. They both attended Yale University together.
What I am curious about is that JD and Usha named their son after Vivek Ramaswamy. It is reported that this was a testament to the significant impact that Ramaswamy had on JD.
I will be curious to also hear what JD's views are on H1B. ChatGPT summarizes this as "J.D. Vance has expressed critical views on the H-1B visa program, arguing that it can be exploited by companies to hire cheaper labor at the expense of American workers. He has called for reforms to the program to ensure it prioritizes American workers and prevents abuse. Vance has emphasized the need to protect domestic workers from being undercut by foreign labor brought in through the H-1B program."
I want to see it ended, all H1B deported.
But JD is VP and his opinions are now muted, he is there to mirror, defend, and promote President Trump. I'll be curious to hear what they say on the topic as President Trump has maybe flipped from being opposed and wanting to end to saying he'll sustain it and increase the numbers.
Anyway, Usha is in the background and should be left alone.
This is probably true. Very few VP’s go on to become elected presidents themselves. I don’t even know if JD has aspirations to be president anyways, DeSantis has my vote for next time around.
You’d prefer she be in front of a camera every day so the paparazzi can taunt her? She probably enjoys having an actual private life. I know I would.
I kind of agree with you. I am hoping Melania will become more visible after this convention. I would not expect her to be at rallies though.
Mainly because people love to see Melania because they like her.
My wife of different ethnicity puts me to shame in patriotism and fighting for her family, now and for future generation.
Understand - I'm extremely conservative - which tells you a little about her...
JD Vances wife just quit her job to support her husband and her family. By all indications, she's the real deal thus far.
More libturd BS
There were plenty of these douchebags right here on FR on the day of announcement.
Pretty sure Jim gave them the ban hammer.
I think they were Russian (or perhaps Ukrainian or whatever) trolls. But trolls, regardless.
Desantis is the better MAGA candidate. But it will a good race, win - win regardless the outcome. Iwonder who Trump will endorse. JD I guess. Desantis wil still win.
Just because she has an Indian name does not make her a practicing Hindu. Does anyone know for a fact what religion she practices?
Vance’s wife was born in San Diego.
Her family was here legally, if not already citizens (I don’t know the answer to that).
She’s not an immigrant.
Not going to work, Newsweek. Do you learn these tactics in Journalism school?
Libtardia at it’s finest.
