JD Vance wiederholt Kommentare, er möchte, dass Frau Usha zum Christentum konvertiert | US-Vizepräsident verkündet vor 10.000 Besuchern von Turning Point USA, dass er eine Hindu-Frau einer Christin vorzieht

Is it only me having a feeling that Vance will ditch Usha before 2028 and marry someone white and christian so that he can get elected in 2028?

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

Would be really funny to see the first divorce of a vice president while in office. That’d be really hilarious.

But also would be a suicide mission for his wife as I’m sure they’d all absolutely ruin her life.

Why the fuck did he marry her then? And in a Hindu ceremony…

These people are so fucking pathetic. He clearly didn’t care when he married her. He probably even loved her. I wouldn’t be surprised if neither of them are true believers, they were just going with tradition.

But then his political career took off and he realized that to appeal to the MAGAt base, he actually needs to be a worse person than he really is. So he’s going just that.

Think about that for a second. The base demands their leaders be vile, hateful people. Anything less is woke. This ain’t gonna end well folks.

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

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.

>“I saw a real overlap between what I would like to see and what the Catholic church would like to see.”

Dude two popes called what the administration you are part of out for the intentional cruelty of multiple policy decisions.

„I’d like my wife to be Christian, preferably blond, and ideally the widow of a far-right influencer.“
