Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) said he “disavows” far-right white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who criticized Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, for her Indian heritage, while arguing the best response is to “ignore” the attacks.
Fuentes, who dined at Mar-a-Lago with former President Trump in 2022, went after Vance and his family after he joined the former president’s reelection ticket last month.
“Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” Fuentes said of Vance last month.
When asked on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” about the comments, Vance said they “don’t have any room in the MAGA movement.”
“And of course — and of course Donald Trump has criticized this person. Look, I think the guy’s a total loser. Certainly, I disavow him. But if you ask me what I care more about, is it a person attacking me personally, or is it government policy that discriminates based on race? That’s what I really worry about,” Vance continued, “is bad government policy that harms people based on their immutable characteristics. Look, a lot of losers are going to attack me and attack my family.”
“I think the proper response to them is to ignore them. Don’t feed the trolls, and they largely go away,” he added.

Go ask the white women. They’re the ones who’ve turned on their own people. They’re the Dems single largest voting block.
There’s a Vivek who’s Treasurer of Missouri. His signs were all around Branson:
He’s Republican.
Don’t feed the trolls they usually go away, that’s good advice.
I’m sure Nick is happy every time some news source mentions him though so just bringing his name up.
far-right white supremacist are not MAGA in my book.
So do I. I hope JD disavowed that kkk miscreant David Duke as well.
They learn that crap from their college “educations.” To destroy the left, end the stranglehold of the bolshevik-controlled higher “education” cartel.
I used to think Nick Fuentes was a Democrat plant. He still might be. I don’t know.
There is no strife on the right or in MAGA. These David Duke type white power pinheads all 100 or so of them work for the other side and the media.
None of this is about race.
Vivek Ramaswami has nothing to do with this story.
JD Vance named his son Vivek and is taking heat from the Stormfront brain dead brigade. We don’t want or need any of their votes.
🙄
I think Vivek is very attuned to where his bread is buttered. He has a facile mind and can be a good spokesman.
In the biotech world he rose by selling the dream, with much less than full disclosure. Those who bought the dream held the bag when the music stopped and companies were bought, merged, failed etc. That is the way the game is played in that sector, the wild wild west of tech.
I would not trust Vivek with power unless there is sunshine and close oversight. He is a resource and can help advance MAGA but he would need a long track record under stress and with temptations before I would assess him as trustworthy.
Anything celebrating, or even acknowledging a white achievement, like American, is shunned and vilified.
Meanwhile. An entire summer is dedicated to homos pedos and various other degenerates who take “pride” in their filthy lifestyle and what they shove up their rectums for fun.
ALL TO BRING DOWN TRUMP////THE BLACK GUY SHOULD BE BANNED!
KANYE WEST IS NO FRIEND OF TRUMP'S!!! BAN HIM!
I'll be watching you so you don't bring down FREEREPUBLIC's standards! You are close.
It would be nice if Vivek became a congressman, senator or governor. So we could get a valid political history on him.
He's a smart guy with a good understanding of the founding principles of the USA. If he could get into office and put together a solid America first record, he has a good shot at becoming President. I would also like to see that being in high political office doesn't corrupt him.
If we lose people who support Nick Fuentes, I'm OK with that. Sometimes, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy.
They probably make a project plan out of it...
