00:00J.D. Vance slams critics for disgusting comments about his wife's religion.

00:06Vice President J.D. Vance fired back at those criticizing him for declaring his hopes

00:10that his wife, Usha Vance, will eventually convert from Hinduism to Christianity

00:15at a Turning Point event in Mississippi on Wednesday, October 29th.

00:20He replied on Friday, October 31st, to a now-deleted ex-post by Ezra Levant of Far-Right Rebel News.

00:28It's weird to throw your wife's religion under the bus in public for a moment's acceptance by Groypers.

00:33Groypers refers to followers of white Christian nationalist Nick Fuentes.

00:38After calling Ezra's comment disgusting, he clarified on X.

00:42She is not a Christian and has no plans to convert.

00:44But like many people in an interfaith marriage or any interfaith relationship,

00:49I hope she may one day see things as I do.

00:52He said he was answering an audience question at an event held in honor of Charlie Kirk.

00:57When they met in 2013, both identified as agnostic or atheist,

01:01and they wed in an interfaith ceremony in Kentucky in 2014,

01:05many found J.D. Vance's statements offensive.

01:08One user wrote on X,

01:10You publicly downplayed your wife's Hindu identity to appease a political base uncomfortable with it.

01:15Another user defended him, writing,

01:17There is nothing wrong with what he said.

01:20He and his wife have different beliefs.

01:22He respects her beliefs but hopes that one day she'll see things the way he does.

01:26What is wrong with this?

01:27Sounds like a healthy marriage to me.

01:30J.D. Vance, who married Usha in 2014 and converted to Christianity in 2019,

01:36wrote that he was simply responding to a question, as people are curious.

01:39Posts like this reek of anti-Christian bigotry, he added.

01:43He concluded,

01:44Yes, Christians have beliefs.

01:46And yes, those beliefs have many consequences,

01:49one of which is that we want to share them with other people.

01:52That is a completely normal thing,

01:54and anyone who's telling you otherwise has an agenda.

01:57That is a completely normal thing,

02:13So,

02:16Amen.
