I was all for representation in politics, until I had to think this much about a white guy’s wife. But here we are, a week and change away from yet another most-important-election-in-American-history, again wondering out loud about J.D. Vance’s wife, Usha Vance.

The latest is a sprawling feature about her, her work history, and her (presumed) politics in the Cut, which tries to untangle the mystery that is Vance. “She has largely kept her own beliefs—political and otherwise—inscrutable even to those close to her,” Irin Carmon writes. The piece includes quotes from former friends and colleagues who remain mystified by her silent cosign of her husband’s radically awful politics. “Initially, I thought, Surely she can’t be okay with this, and she’s going to divorce him in time,” one former friend told the Cut. “Then I saw her at the Republican National Convention and thought, Could she actually be on board?”

Let’s just get to the answer the short way: Yes, she’s on board. It does not matter that her parents are Indian immigrants, or that she was raised Hindu, or that she has remained tight-lipped about her political opinions. There have been plenty of attempts to read the tea leaves, given that she clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh (before he was on the Supreme Court) and Chief Justice John Roberts (when he was), but the truth is largely already in front of us.

What ultimately matters is who she’s married to, and that she remains married to him. Vance here has not said too much about her own politics or how much she agrees with her husband, but we don’t need to know too much about Vance’s personal ideology to know where she lands.

..I was all for representation in politics, until I had to think this much about a white guy’s wife...

...It is perhaps time to say the ugly part out loud: We would not be so mystified by Vance’s loud or quiet cosign of her husband were she white...

Hard to get any more racist than that.

Proud of it, too.

Sounds like Scaachi Koul is a little bitter about something. Those people need to stay in the crapper where they were designated to live and they wouldn’t have to worry about wacism so much.

More hard-core racism from Slate, who retain the mindset of slaveowners.

The SLATE = racist, misogynistic, vicious, devoid of rational analysis and just plain damn stupid.

In 4 years I think she would make a great First Lady for a President Vance.
