At issue is the fact that Vance's wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants, which is leading some far-right influencers to be suspicious that he won't really be as tough on immigration as they hope.

These fucks must have forgotten that trump has an eastern European mail-order bride as his 3rd wife, who had an anchor baby and then used her citizenship to get her parents brought over.

It's like all the shit they bitch about immigrants doing, and their god king facilitates it.

Jeez, I wonder what’s the difference between them? /s

MAGA stopped reading after the word "trump".

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They stopped when they were stumped by the first 5 letter word.

If they could read they'd be very upset with your comment

The same people that called her “classy” compared to Michelle Obama. Yeah, the “classy” woman whipped nude for a magazine and overstayed her visa.

Far-right propagandists ran hit pieces on the Obama "War on Christmas." Then we have a sour goblin literally ask, "who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff," and none of them remark on it.

They are all disingenuous liars with zero integrity. Truth does not matter in the slightest.

But she's rich and pretty, so not the same at all!

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She's pretty, so it doesn't matter.

I saw someone sharing a picture of her on Facebook the other day gushing about how beautiful she is (identifying her as "First Lady").

I almost responded, "The current First Lady has a PhD in English and continued her teaching position while her husband is in office. Why aren't we sharing her picture and celebrating her accomplishments?"

But what would be the point?

She's ~~pretty~~ white, so it doesn't matter.

Let's be honest here

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 89 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they should just withhold their vote.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 38 points 3 months ago

That would really send a message!

But the leopard would surely never eat my face.

Edit: Oops. Didn't realize which community I was in.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

Ah, see how the leopards tables... turn?

Please, please destroy each other...

Out there somewhere some MAGAt thinks she's Native American when they see the word "Indian."

Seriously though, attacking her because she is a POC or child of immigrants is wrong. If she's this supportive of him, attack her bc she's a fascist POS.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

It's the fascist POS's who are attacking her. They like that she's a fascist POS.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's the magas attacking her though.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

If only the maga racists knew some Indians are also racist as fuck and want to kill everyone they want.to kill, they'd all be happy.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

You gotta love Americans, most of them the actual immigrants on the continent, bitch about immigrants...

I wish I could have been in the room with Nikki Haley when this news broke

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

But that's how you know he isn't racist, his wife is dark!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

I wonder what bigoted attacks were lobbed at her

Is this kind of stuff still news in 2024? They've been doing this for years now. Honestly, the real news would be if one of them said something respectable, otherwise it's just business as usual.

Do you know who peter thiel is? If you don't, you're missing a big piece of this puzzle

[–] dipshit@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 3 months ago
