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.

for erika kirk, he was feeling up erika in TIGHT LEATHER PANTS recently. erika in a speech said"she sees KIRK in jd vance" all saying with those dead eyes of hers.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 82 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Obviously a very healthy and stable relationship

Don't believe in your imaginary friend, my imaginary friend is much more real

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Vance

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.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 46 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

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.

"The American River Ganges", a 1871 political cartoon by Thomas Nast from Harper's Weekly, depicting Catholic bishops as foreign crocodiles preying on U.S. children, illustrating the fear behind the proposed Blaine Amendment

The Blaine Amendment was a failed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would have prohibited direct government aid to educational institutions that have a religious affiliation. Most state constitutions already had such provisions, and thirty-eight of the fifty states have clauses that prohibit taxpayer funding of religious entities in their state constitutions.

The measures were designed to deny government aid to parochial schools, especially those operated by the Catholic Church in locations with large immigrant populations.[1] They emerged from a growing consensus among 19th-century U.S. Protestants that public education must be free from "sectarian' or "denominational' control, while it also reflected nativist tendencies hostile to immigrants.[2]

https://www.oursundayvisitor.com/catholicism-and-the-revisited-history-of-the-ku-klux-klan/

When most of us think of the Klan, we are thinking of it as an organization with a thru-line all the way back to 1865, but the truth is that the first iteration of the KKK was short-lived. Historian David Chalmers explains that it began as group of former Confederate soldiers who amused themselves by pretending to be ghosts with silly titles before evolving into something far more terrible when they realized their antics scared recently freed Blacks. It ultimately became a terrorist group intended to restore white supremacy in the South before being put down by President Ulysses S. Grant’s administration and the military in 1872.

On Thanksgiving Day 1915, William J. Simmons founded the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan at Stone Mountain, Georgia. This former preacher turned salesman resurrected the ideals and methodology of the first Klan and combined them with made-up imagery from D.W. Griffith’s recent blockbuster film, “The Birth of a Nation,” which valorized them. When Simmons observed the nationwide tension over the question of immigration, he saw an opportunity for his organization ripe for the taking.

Americans’ concerns about immigration had grown as two massive waves of Catholic immigrants arrived in the United States over a period of 80 years, beginning in the 1840s. As Josh Zietz writes, “Until the 1920s, America’s doors were open to European immigrants, as long as they qualified under a statute passed in 1790 that reserved naturalized citizenship for ‘free white persons.'” The first wave consisted of Irish and German immigrants who swelled the ranks of Catholics in the United States by the millions prior to the Civil War. The second wave came between 1890 and 1924 and was even bigger, with most of the new arrivals coming from southern and eastern Europe and settling in eastern and midwestern cities.

Immigrants did not necessarily come to America with the aim of changing American culture (they came for simpler reasons), but change it they did. Most Americans believed their country was a white, English-speaking, Protestant country whose way of life was rooted in agrarian rhythms. This new wave of immigrants was mostly Catholic and Jewish, the majority did not speak English, had customs and loyalties that seemed odd, and made cities politically powerful at the expense of rural areas. Consequently, religious, ethnic and political tensions were combined into anti-Catholic sentiment. Senator Ira Hersey of Maine was hardly unique in complaining in 1924 that “we have thrown open wide our gates and through them have come other alien races, of alien blood, from Asia and southern Europe … with their strange and pagan rites, their babble of tongues.” His implication was clear: These people, including Catholics, could not be good Americans.

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

[–] FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I keep seeing people claiming he fucked a couch, what did I miss?

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.

[–] ronigami@lemmy.world -4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Never trust a man with grey beard and completely brown hair. Especially one that always looks like he's staring into the sun.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

She’ll refuse. Hell divorce her. He’ll marry EK.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

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?"

[–] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why didn't he marry a white Christian fascist baby making machine

[–] beella@lemmings.world 5 points 1 day ago

Honestly, he probably couldn't land an attractive one.

In her mind, she hit the jackpot.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

thats why erika kirk was there. shes a widow, looking for her new grift daddy, and vance is that white grift daddy.

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago
[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yah, but what does she want? Or doesn't that matter in their version of Christianity?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Curmuffin@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

She wants to be the wife of President Vance, it would seem.

Damn he’s threading her publicly? Or is this a fake setup to say “she saw the light?”

[–] j_elgato@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago

I see that Government by Pro-Wrestling theatrics has given way to Government by Soap Opera theatrics..

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Why are we making X one of the major things that you have to have in common to be one of you guys?

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?

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I'd say he's sleeping on the couch, but I think he'd enjoy that. :)

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really hope Usha has a lot of dirt on him.

[–] FEIN@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Sadly the same people covering up the Epstein files would cover up the Vance files with even more effort

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, it's just white nationalism.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Makes me wonder if this is planned. Oh look how a good christian man can bring a wayward woman to the lord.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 3 points 1 day ago

She wants him to disavow racism from his base. Marriage is about compromise.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
