    This is the first time I’m learning about the USA’s second lady and I did NOT expect her to be what Trump would refer to as a DEI hire

      Even more interesting is that her mother (VP Vance’s mother-in-law) was instrumental in advancing DEI at the university she works at (UCSD).

      I would pay a lot of money to see a journalist ask JD Vance if he approves of his mother-in-law’s work in promoting DEI. Just knowing how awkward that next family gathering would be would make it worth it.

        Why do we care what Randi’s think about their mother in law’s? It’s not like this Vance guy is important or anything.

      DEI is just something they’re using as a dog whistle. It’s always about class first.

      She’s rich, so he’s an honourary white

      Though, really shows what an absolute wanker JD Vance is, since under his administration is certainly going to be way worse be to of indian decent in his country.

      What a shit husband and father.

      Don’t forget, his own wife is a dei import, dude can’t find himself a good American woman so he’s got to outsource. Irony is dead.

      I am having such a hard time squaring that with how he talks and acts; unless he is bideing(bidding?) his time till the orange idiot is gone and is planning on an uno reverso, but it sure doesn’t seem that way.

        It’s the same as good ol’ Mitch. He can hate others and not in one specific case. Being racist doesnt mean you have to be all the time.

        What I don’t get is how she could marry him. Who signs up or stays with someone who promotes hate for every aspect of yourself?

          Right? How can she wake up and think “This is all okay, I’m good with this.” I mean, I have the same question for Melania too, but I assume that was all for money and what not.

            Then again you have female Republican voters and minority Republican voters, and farmer Republican voters… all who voted for their own destruction so I guess I shouldn’t be too astonished.
