US vice-president announces to 10,000 attenders of Turning Point USA that he prefers wife, who is Hindu, to be Christian
JD Vance is doubling down on comments he made about wanting his wife, Usha Vance, to convert to Christianity – remarks that drew political backlash from some quarters.
At an event with Turning Point USA at the University of Mississippi to honor the conservative group’s slain founder Charlie Kirk, an audience member questioned the US vice-president about how he sees the links between American patriotism and Christianity.
“Why are we making Christianity one of the major things that you have to have in common to be one of you guys? To show that I love America just as much as you do?” the audience member asked, after pointing out that Vance’s wife, Usha, is Hindu and they are raising their children in an interfaith marriage.

At first I felt happy for Kirk’s kids, I was clearly wrong on that one. They were screwed either way, I hope they manage to outgrow their upbringing and genetics.

She knew who she was marrying so I feel nothing for her. But I feel so bad for those poor kids, they will grow up in the center of this racist facist shit storm.
madjo@feddit.nl · 29 pts · 304d
Did she? I mean turning from anti-trump to full blown maga is a pretty hard 180 degree turn. If my partner were to do something like that, I wouldn't think I'd know them anymore.
Then again, you might be right, and she knowingly married an opportunist without any morals or principles. And then such a turn is just another wednesday.

This is a good summary of his life so you can know what you're talking about. JD was already attending Yale and buds with peter thiel before she married him (that is, he was already an awful person). And she attended Yale too so she of all people should know how awful people who go to Yale are.

People like this don't suddenly become this way, he's probably always been an opportunist willing to sink to any level to get what he wants and the only thing she might be surprised by is the anti Indian hate that is causing problems for her now, I guess she assumed the hate would remain focused on Mexicans, blacks etc.

Who wants to throw in €5 on a betting pool for what month the divorce/widow marriage happens?
Also, who wants €20 against a quick poligimist marriage to ensure dominave over the browns and the blondes?
I'm good for it, I swear.

This isn't newsworthy. I'm not a fan of Vance at all, but his comments here aren't even bad. If you read the article, the comments boil down to: "I believe this, I wish she did too, it's fine if she never does, I love her regardless." It's honestly pretty healthy to be able to have that in a relationship.
This is practically at the level of criticizing Obama's tan suit, and is just noise and distraction in a news cycle filled with actually bad things (multiple wars, the government shutdown, measles outbreaks, a hurricane, etc). Don't spread this nonsense. It's fodder for the other side to call people out for being focused on ridiculous, unfounded slights, and allows them to not pay attention to real issues. Make noise about things that matter.

his current wife is going along for the ride on this one because I imagine she's already been promised a sort of "golden parachute" so to speak. She knows shes done for thus the reason she's been looking more "rough" lately.
He's probably already slept with Kirks widow, current wife already knows he has also.

If nikki rhawadi haley, and vivek is not liked by MAGA, she will harm vances chance of becoming president.

Vance is (presently) Catholic. It wasn't that long ago that the Catholics were the Scary Bad Guys in the US, immigrating and endangering the views of reasonable, sensible Protestants, and the politicians were off leveraging fears of them.

He’s been fucking Kirk’s wife, the couch and probably Moon Boy for all I know.

I would say how awful for the wife to have to go through that but we know she's big ol' conservative asshole too. Leopards eats faces there lady and nothing else there so I guess we'll see how much more of her soul she's willing to sell for power with old couch fucker.

It’s being Republican that’s the problem, not being conservative. Liberalism is quite conservative.

In her mind, she hit the jackpot.

Its so dumb that not one dumbass reporter has asked "if christianity is so important to these people how come they're only deporting groups of people who are more christian on average than the US population?"
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 304d
Yah, but what does she want? Or doesn't that matter in their version of Christianity?

shes an aethiest apparently, unlikely she would want to convert. unlike ERIKA kirk.

That's a fascinating question.
It's like the core goal is... being part of the 'tribe'? I thought that was more of an implicit feeling, but is that the explicit mindset of the Turning Point audience?

I don't know for sure that Vance is going to fuck Kirk's wife, but if he does he was 100% thinking about it at this point
