'Your wife is Indian': J.D. Vance mocked for defending 'racist' anti-Indian DOGE staffer

Raw Story  

Vance was hit with immediate mockery on Friday after he defended Marko Elez, the recently fired Department of Government Efficiency staffer who was exposed for making racist comments earlier this week. Writing on X, Vance argued that "I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life." Among Elez's "foolish" past social media posts were declarations to "normalize Indian hate," which in theory should be of particular interest to Vance given that his wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants. "Elez wanted to normalize Indian hate, you’re standing up for him, and your wife is Indian," commented another of Vance's followers. Other followers took issue with Vance describing the 25-year-old Enez as a "kid," particularly when the Trump administration gave him access to some of the most sensitive data collected by the United States federal government.
