'Disgusting': JD Vance shuts down 'Hinduphobia' allegations, says he knows Usha has no plans to convert to Christianity but...

Vice President JD Vance broke his silence after relentless attacks on social media over his comment on how he wishes his wife Usha Vance, a born Hindu, would embrace his religion, Christianity. As the attacks bordered on speculations that their marriage is crumbling down because of the difference in their religion, Vance clarified that nothing like that is happening.

Vance chose to comment on a post that criticized how JD Vance threw his wife's religion, Hinduism, under the bus, "for a moment's acceptance by groypers".




"What a disgusting comment, and it's hardly been the only one along these lines," Vance said.

"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," the Vice President said.

Vance confirms Hindu wife Usha encouraged him to re-engage with his faith

After calling Usha Vance an agnostic, for which JD Vance was called a liar, the Vice President clarified that Usha has no plans to convert. "...my Christian faith tells me the Gospel is true and is good for human beings. My wife--as I said at the TPUSA--is the most amazing blessing I have in my life. She herself encouraged me to reengage with my 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. 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," he asserted.

'Completely normal to spread Christian beliefs'

JD Vance said it is completely normal for Christians to want to share their beliefs with others. "Yes, Christians have beliefs. And yes, those beliefs have many consequences, one of which is that we want to share them with other people. That is a completely normal thing, and anyone who's telling you otherwise has an agenda," Vance said.
