Critics question JD Vance’s ‘weird’ defense of wife Usha after white supremacist attacks
Trump's running mate went to bat for his wife Usha Vance, a child of Indian immigrants.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) acknowledged — but did not condemn — white supremacist attacks aimed at his wife, Usha Vance, over her Indian descent on Friday.
“Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is,” former President Donald Trump’s running mate told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM show.
He continued, “Obviously, she’s not a white person and we’ve been accused — attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. She’s such a good mom, she’s such a brilliant lawyer and I’m so proud of her.”
Trump’s vice presidential pick, who has faced backlash for going after “childless” Democrats in 2021 with a comment he recently called “sarcastic,” added that his wife’s experience has helped give him the perspective that it’s “very hard” for working families in America.

and talked about her like a male porn performer talks to a female performer "He is so proud of her and her performance."
That's too respectful for porn
There is some variability to white supremacists. My cousins (lifelong Floridians, naturally) are white supremacists despite being half-Thai. They probably don't have any problem with Usha - for them, white supremacy is about hating people of African descent specifically.
