Vance & Usha

 

JEFFREY ST, CLAIR

+ Vance’s wife, Usha Chilukuri, clerked for both Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts. Usha was born in San Diego to parents who’d recently moved to the states from the Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Usha is a practicing Hindu. Her interfaith marriage to JD was blessed by a Hindu priest. All this came as bracing news to many hardcore MAGA-trons, including the execrable Nick Fuentes who said on his white nationalist podcast: “Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?”

+ Here’s JD Vance (Yale Law grad) ranting about the corrupting influence of higher education: “When I think of this movement of national conservatism, what we need more than inspiration is wisdom and there is a wisdom to what Richard Nixon said approximately 40 or 50 years ago, he said, and I quote, ‘The professors are the enemy.'” Professor diss aside, Nixon would be seen as both a cultural and economic Marxist by this group of fascist clowns.

+ Re: Vance’s assertion (quoting Nixon, approvingly) that “professors are the enemy.” Vance’s wife, Usha, has two degrees from Yale and one from Cambridge. Both of her parents are college professors. As a lawyer, she represented the Regents of the University of California and Usha herself taught American history at Sun Yat-Sen University in…wait for it…Guangzhou, China.

+ Vance on what he would’ve done on January 6: “If I had been VP, I would’ve told the states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and so many others that we needed to have multiple slates of electors, and I think the US Congress should’ve fought over it from there.”

+ Vance on retaliating against the Left (meaning anyone to the Left of Joe Manich, I presume): “We should seize the institutions of the Left. And turn them against the left. We need like a de-Baathification program … And when the courts stop you, stand before the country, and say, ‘the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

+ Fox News’ Brit Hume on J.D. Vance: “Did [Vance] get it because he was really the best qualified to be president or did he get it because he sucked up effectively to the nominee?”
