Second Lady Usha Vance, who was a high-powered lawyer before becoming a high-profile public figure, has not made many solo public appearances leaving a lot of room for speculation about her views on things, which many people believe, are different from her husband Vice President JD Vance. Usha Vance has been mercilessly trolled for her Indian origin, for her religion and also for her husband’s various objectionable comments.
Amid all-round attacks as the Second Lady is emerging in her public role, social media users sided with her on a rare occasion after JD Vance made some comments about Usha. Meant to be humorous, the comments did not go down well with many who found it creepy, though befitting the person who made the ‘childless cat lady’ remark about Democrat politicians.
At an event in Michigan, as Usha was seen standing behind JD, the Vice President said Usha has been doing a great job as the Second Lady and how proud he’s to have her by his side. “Here’s the thing. The cameras are all on; anything I say, no matter how crazy, she has to smile, laugh, and celebrate it,” JD Vance said as Usha Vance actually smiled and laughed.
Social media went berserk at the comment and started advising Usha to run from her marriage with JD.
“His attempt at humor is always tasteles…or is that just me?” one wrote.
“That sounds like a threat. She should consult a lawyer and ensure the long-term safety and security of herself and the children. I know how this goes over time in a marriage. The threats get real,” another wrote.
“She looks miserable,” a third user wrote.
“Making fun of your wife is not the flex you think it is,” one wrote.
“So Vance is a trad husband influencer now?” one comment read.
“JD Vance saying his wife has to “smile, laugh, and celebrate” whatever he says—no matter how crazy—is straight-up creepy. Political spouses who just sit there grinning like puppets aren’t admirable. They’re useless. And it’s 2025. Women aren’t props,” one read.
