JD Vance ‘feels bad’ for taking Hindu-raised wife Usha to Mass after he converted: ‘Didn’t sign up to marry a weekly churchgoer'
New York Post ^ | Oct 12 | By Priscilla DeGregory

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance opened up about converting to Catholicism in 2019 Saturday — and revealed he “feels bad” for dragging his Hindu wife to Mass every Sunday.

She “didn’t sign up to marry a weekly churchgoer” but she’s “more than OK with it,” the Ohio senator said of wife, Usha, during an oft-contentious interview with the New York Times.

The “Hillbilly Elegy” author said he started asking himself “big questions” around 2017 to 2019 when he became a father and had achieved career and financial success but found the “values of meritocracy … deeply lacking.”

“And when I started to think about the big things, like, what do I actually care about in my life?,” Vance, 40, said.

“I really want to be a good husband. I really want to be a good father. I really want to be a good member of the community. I wanted to be a virtuous human being, in other words.”

I'm wondering if JD Vance wants to bring in more Hindus and where Freeper immigration hawks stand on this ?

Trump is saying he wants legal migrants again.

Are you concerned?

Vance’s Hindu wife was my one-and-only objection to him as VP. And it was cringeworthy when he said that she, a Hindu, led him to Catholicism. Prescient?

I could be completely off base here but i don’t see his statements as political in nature. Sound to me like musings about life and faith.

Trump is no national savior. He has many faults and poor policies. He’s just significantly better than Harris. Which is a very low bar.

America is built on LEGAL immigration. I’d, personally, like to see more rules like Canada’s and Australia’s about immigrants being able to self support and being of good health. And I’d like to see a reduction in connected immigration to nuclear families. Other than that, I’m completely in favor of Hindus and whatever they are immigration of people of decent enough character. Without financial support.

Only about a million times. Whatever response you are trying to provoke....it’s not working.

The issue is legalizing them is easy. That is my main point
