Imagine you're a stupid hillbilly from Appalachia. You have political ambitions. You yourself were a DEI-admitted student at Yale, since the prestigious university needed Appalachian imbeciles to parade itself as a people's university and not a snotty elitist place.
Starting out as a conservative bum from Appalachia, Vance called Trump "America's Hitler" during the 2016 elections, in the thought that Trump would never succeed because of his radical and vulgar views. Like many pre-Trump republican you saw your political ambition within the hardline republican mainstream, but you knew you had to distinguish yourself by "appearing" as a moderate to independents and perhaps even Democrats.
You may have thought: "I am a Christian conservative, and like Charlie Kirk I'll camouflage my radical racist xenophobic views under a veneer of acceptability. Kirk did it by hiding his racism behind a mantra of civility, soft conversation and politeness. But if I marry a dark-skinned woman born in the US to conservative Hindu immigrant parents, I'd be well perceived by all the moderates in the center and also on the left."
Thus, Vance chose Usha because she fulfilled this political marketing mission. It is hard to imagine a conservative Christian marrying and having children with a polytehist Hindu who gives a sh - - about Jesus, JD's savior. Should we imagine their house with portraits of Jesus and Vishnu-Krishna side by side? Do they pray together or each one goes to his/her corner to pray for their respective gods? How about the children? How are they raised? As Christians? Or as Hindus?
Usha: You have no idea what snakepit you have placed your life in. Fundamentalist Christians are a clone of all religious conservative movements, inclusing fundamentalist Muslims and fundamentalist hindus. Just like they expect Jews to convert to Christianity when (and if) Jesus ever beams his divine self back to earth, to occupied and raped Palestine specifically, at the End of Times, JD will expect you one day to convert from your polytheist indifel Hindu religion to his brand of Christian religious fundamentalism.
Bottom line: I think JD married Usha for as a lever for his political ambitions, not out of love. She's a matrimonial DEI. Hindus are strict practitioners of "arranged marriages", and if Usha was raised a conservative Hindu, she might as well have married JD without love at first, in the hope that she could grow to love him. For him it was a marriage of political convenience, and for her it was like an arranged marriage with which her culture conditioned her to deal.

JD Vance Slammed After Telling Right-Wing Crowd He Hopes Wife Will Be 'Moved' By His Christian Faith

Vice President JD Vance received major backlash after telling a crowd of young conservative college students Thursday he hopes “eventually” his Hindu wife, second lady Usha Vance, is “moved” by the same thing that drew him to his Christian faith.
“As I’ve told her and I’ve said publicly and I’ll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, do I hope eventually that she [Usha] is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church? Yeah,” Vance admitted at a Turning Point USA-sponsored event at the University of Mississippi. [Iznogood: Turning Point USA is a.k.a. Turning Stomach USA]
“I honestly, I do wish that, because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way, but if she doesn’t, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn’t cause a problem for me,” he continued.
The vice president’s remarks were in response to a multi-part question about immigration raised by a guest, asking, in part, “How are you teaching your kids not to keep your religion ahead of their mother’s religion?”
The guest also raised concerns over the relationship between MAGA conservatism 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 guest asked. “Why is that still a question? Why do I have to be a Christian?”
The vice president told the guest that while his wife grew up in a Hindu family, it was “not a particularly religious one” and that they would have both considered themselves agnostic or atheist when they first met.
Vance told the crowd his wife is now coming to church with him most Sundays and that they decided to raise their children under his faith.
Vance’s comments about his marriage and family drew some backlash online.
Nirmalya Dutta, an editorial consultant at The Times of India, called the vice president a “hypocrite.” He posted a clip from Fox News where the second lady said she “grew up in a religious household” and noted that her faith inspired Vance to explore his own.

“I’m sorry, they have been married for 11 years and he is somehow still hoping she will change religions? And saying it in public?” Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “If I’m her, I’m PISSED.”
“It’s weird to throw your wife’s religion under the bus, in public, for a moment’s acceptance by groypers,” Canadian media personality Ezra Levant said in a post that now appears to have been deleted.
Vance called Levant’s post a “disgusting comment” and also responded to the criticism he’s received as a whole.
He called his wife the “most amazing blessing I have in my life” and clarified that she encouraged him “to reengage” with his faith many years ago.
“She is not a Christian and has no plans to convert, but like many people in an interfaith marriage―or any interfaith relationship―I hope she may one day see things as I do,” Vance wrote. “Regardless, I’ll continue to love and support her and talk to her about faith and life and everything else, because she’s my wife.”
What a disgusting comment, and it's hardly been the only one along these lines.
First off, the question was from a person seemingly to my left, about my interfaith marriage. I'm a public figure, and people are curious, and I wasn't going to avoid the question. Second, my… https://t.co/JOzN7WAg3A — JD Vance (@JDVance) Oct 31, 2025

JD Vance slammed for saying he hopes his Hindu wife Usha will ‘join Christianity’ at Charlie Kirk event
Vice President JD Vance is facing sharp criticism after he told a group of college students in Mississippi that he hopes his Hindu wife, second lady Usha Vance, will give up her own faith and become a Christian.
The vice president was speaking at the University of Mississippi at an event sponsored by Turning Point USA, the group founded by slain Christian conservative activist Charlie Kirk, when a questioner invoked his wife’s religious background.
Vance replied that his wife grew up in what was “not a particularly religious” Hindu family and said they had always had an open dialogue on religious matters when it comes to how they are raising their three children — two of whom attend a Christian school with all three being raised in the Christian faith.
After noting that Usha often attends church with him, he said he hopes she will someday be “moved” by the same things that brought him to convert to Catholicism as an adult.
“I honestly do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually, my wife comes to see it the same way,” he said.

“If she doesn’t, then God says, everybody has free will, so that doesn’t cause a problem for me. That’s something you work out.”
Vance’s comments, which were broadcast on Fox News and online by Turning Point, struck a nerve with some users on X.
An Indian-American commentator named Deep Barot also weighed in, mocking Vance’s suggestion that his wife was once “agnostic” when she has admitted having been raised in the Hindu tradition.
Lol 😂 Usha Vance is Hindu not agnostic this is not very hard for you to follow. They even had a Vedic Hindu wedding and one of his kids name is Vivek. The biggest hypocrite of them all is JD Vance, which is why he isn’t going for if nominated in 2028. pic.twitter.com/0rEoibWttv — Deep Barot (@deepbarot) October 30, 2025
“Usha Vance is Hindu not agnostic this is not very hard for you to follow. They even had a Vedic Hindu wedding and one of his kids name [sic] is Vivek,” he said.
Barot added that Vance was “the biggest hypocrite” for downplaying his wife’s background and would face problems in a potential 2028 presidential run as a result.
Another Indian commentator, Nirmalya Dutta, called Vance “a class A hypocrite” for the same reason and noted that the vice president had credited his wife’s faith with reinvigorating his interest in his own.

Transgender activist Ari Drennen, suggested that his remarks could lead to the end of his marriage.
“He’s going to be the first Vice President to get Divorced while in office,” she said.For her part, Usha Vance has stated that she has no intention to abandon her family’s faith in favor of her husband’s.

In an interview with conservative commentator Meghan McCain in June, Vance said she and the vice president had “a lot of conversations” about faith when he was considering whether to convert to Catholicism and noted that his decision came with “several important obligations, like to raise your child in the faith and all that.”
She said at the time that she was “not intending to convert or anything like that” and told McCain that she and her husband have given her children “each the choice” of experiencing both of their respective religious traditions.
“The kids know that I’m not Catholic, and they have plenty of access to the Hindu tradition from books that we give them, to things that we show them, to the recent trip to India, and some of the religious elements of that visit,” she said.
