JD Vance Proudly Confirms He Forced Usha to Have Another Kid

Those who have ever been subjected to a friend telling them they’re “trying for a baby” may know the feeling of wanting to pull their ears out on the spot, but I’m not sure anything is quite as unhear-able as the multiple times Vice President JD Vance has bragged about having sex with his wife

On Wednesday, Vance ran his mouth at a robotic systems manufacturer in Michigan to talk about how “good” Trump’s economy is doing when he suddenly assaulted the crowd with some questionable insight into his marriage. “Usha is now 22 weeks pregnant with baby number four, so we’re very excited about that. And I remember when we decided to run for vice president, I said, ‘Honey, I really want to have a fourth kid.’ And she said, ‘Well, you can become vice president, or you can have a fourth baby.’ But, ladies and gentlemen, I am persuasive ‘cause I got both.” What an awful day to have ears.

Calling Usha’s pregnancy a mark of his “persuasiveness” is the 4,2125th red-flag moment for Vance, who seems to think Usha is destined for hell; who’s been using her pregnancy to push MAGA’s pronatalist agenda; and who—heinously— cooked her ranch-smothered piles of dough and vegetables when they were first dating. We’ve said it before, but Usha, are u good!? (The answer is yes, and if she’s not, well, she’s been completely complicit in everything, so that’s her own fault.)

Vance dedicated the other parts of his speech to his newly assigned (and very important) job of leading the “war on fraud,” a role he’s been happy about ever since daddy, er, Trump* assigned it to him during the State of the Union address in February. “Although [it] started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our ‘great’ Vice President JD Vance,” Trump said—a moment that’s likely replayed in Vance’s head ever since it happened, especially since the president’s given him nary an ounce of attention since. (Well, besides getting him some giant shoes.) 

“The biggest dividing line in our politics is not tax policy or regulatory policy or even immigration,” he told the crowd, “the biggest dividing line in our country is that we have in Washington D.C. one political movement that is dedicated to fraud.” Just days before, he also updated Trump with his plans to crack down on Minnesota and halt $260 million in Medicaid funding to the state, later tweeting with the video, “I’m proud to lead the Administration’s task force on fraud and I’m thankful to President Trump for entrusting this task to me.” Anything to get dad’s attention.

But Vance has been out of the loop in more ways than one—and when a reporter asked him to provide some answers on whether Trump would interfere in the elections, Vance responded, “What do you mean by the federal government intervening in the election? That’s the first I ever heard of it.” Womp, womp.
