JD Vance repeats comments he wants wife Usha to convert to Christianity | US vice-president announces to 10,000 attenders of Turning Point USA that he prefers wife, who is Hindu, to be Christian

He’s drooling for Mrs. Kirk – you know it!

She’s going to clean him out in the divorce settlement. You know she’s going to end up with the kids.

A number of points:

>“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.
>
>Vance said that his wife grew up in a Hindu household “but not a particularly religious family” – and noted that when he met his wife they would have both considered themselves agnostic or atheist.
>
>Vance converted to Catholicism in his 30s after being raised in a loosely evangelical family. He was baptized into the church in 2019 just as he started to become a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, who chose Vance as his running mate when he successfully ran for a second presidency in 2024.
>
>“My views on public policy and what the optimal state should look like are pretty aligned with Catholic social teaching,” Vance, a former US senator for Ohio, said at the time of his baptism. “I saw a real overlap between what I would like to see and what the Catholic church would like to see.”
>
>…
>
>Usha Vance has publicly stated that she doesn’t intend to convert to Christianity. In June, she told conservative blogger Meghan McCain that while the family has made church “a family experience … the kids know that I’m not Catholic”.
>
>“They have plenty of access to the Hindu tradition, from books that we give them to things that we show them to visit recently to India, and some religious elements of that visit,” Usha Vance said.
>
>The executive director of the Hindu American Foundation was critical of Vance’s remarks, telling the New York Times that the vice-president was “basically saying that … this aspect of [Usha] is just not enough”.
>
>“That’s a lot of uncertainty in the community,” Suhag Shukla said to the outlet. “This just added kind of fuel to those fears.”

This is, if anything, performative pap by the vice president for his extremist base. It is highly unlikely to help his relationship with his family, and is clearly pushing his christian nationalist agenda further. The likely next step here is either for them to divorce, or for her to convert. Regardless, the likelihood that his policy views align with “catholic social teaching” is demonstrably false especially given recent statements by the pope.

I’m not sure why Vance can just respect his wife’s differences and focus on shared value. Why does he need her to convert?

He is a racist pos that much he is making crystal clear. Those poor kids deserved to be born to better people.

Tim Walz was so right, these people are so weird. 

Another use of religion for politicians to act awful. 😣

Soon he will announce his divorce, and new engagement to Mrs Kirk

He’s only saying that to score brownie points with MAGA. I guarantee you this guy doesn’t actually give a shit about religion at all. Everything about him is incredibly fake.

Why doesn’t he convert to Hinduism?

Why does he even ask his wife to convert? If she’s subservient to him, why doesn’t he just tell her “hey, you’re Christian now.”

Shouldn’t this have been discussed prior to marriage?

She married the guy. She ain’t no saint, neither.

She set herself up for this. She’s just as bad as he is.

JD isn’t even Catholic. This new brand of newly converted Catholics are more like evangelicals. Unless you have a mean old Catholic grandma or went to 12 years of Catholic school and can no longer stand going to church – you’re not a real Catholic. Everyone knows this. 

Seems like a conversation he should have with his wife in private. Seems like she should really leave him quick before some freak accident happens to her and the kids. He so obviously stayed with her just to get through law school. Now she’s expendable. Good ol’ American family values strike again.

Yup, there’s either a divorce or a “tragic accident” in his poor wife’s future. And then the power couple of Charlie Kirk’s succubus and jd Vance will be free to consummate the ultimate evil under the dark lord mammon.

What a shitshow

Throwing his own wife under the bus is such a creepy desperate-for-approval move. 

Does anyone like this guy?

JD would prefer his wife to covert to Christianity and become Caucasian, preferably by 2028.

I wonder how much of this they have privately discussed and agreed upon to set a narrative because I know for damn sure if my husband did that to me TWICE in one week, I’d divorce his ass. She may be in bed with the devil but she doesn’t strike me as stupid

I’d bet they’ve agreed to divorce, she’ll get a nice payout in it and he can start painting a happily ever after with the “grieving” widow.

Why did you marry a Hindu if you didn’t want to be married to a Hindu??

Isn’t it a thing that Christians aren’t supposed to marry non Christians or something?

Kinda makes you question how he is not obey church things…

I see a divorce in their future… I also think his wife might have a great future ahead of her… once she drops the dead weight…
