JD Vance Reveals Charlie Kirk’s Death Was a Driving Force for Getting Usha Pregnant

For the sheer amount of times we’ve been subject to hearing JD Vance boast about having sex with his wife, Usha, I’d appreciate from the government a set of earplugs—or a lobotomy. But seeing as the vice president seems to deny (or blatantly refuse!) our cries of anti-TMI protest, Vance has, once again, shed some nauseating details of Usha’s fourth and latest pregnancy. And, uh, the memorialization of Charlie Kirk is somehow involved. 

The Wall Street Journal on Friday published an excerpt from Vance’s new book, called “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith”—the latest of the veep’s feminist-copying book memoirs that no one really asked for—which focuses on his conversion to Catholicism, a denomination that appears less-than-happy with the association. In the WSJ excerpt, titled “What I Learned About Faith and Fatherhood from Charlie Kirk,” Vance focuses specifically on the late, far-right provocateur—and introduces a fresh new circle of why-he-got-Usha-pregnant hell.

“As my wife held Charlie Kirk’s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow,” Vance writes, referring to the fatal shooting of Kirk in September, “Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie.” 

“For years I had asked Usha to have another baby, and for years she had told me she was done—especially now that public service had elevated us into the national spotlight. But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy.” 

Yeugh. And if that horrible slab of text hadn’t already cast from you, dear reader, an expulsion of whatever you last ate, here’s what came next: “One life was stolen from us, but another was given.” 

Now, Vance has already made clear Usha never wanted a fourth child—and speaking to a crowd in Michigan in March, recounted something she’d said to him while he was running on the Trump ticket in 2024: “You can become vice president, or you can have a fourth baby.” He continued with a questionable brag, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am persuasive ’cause I got both.” 

Vance’s saccharine tribute to Kirk is decorated with some ecclesiastical undertones, and the veep adds, “I don’t know why God does things like this. But I am grateful to Him that there will soon be another source of joy in our lives.” 

Annoyingly, all this comes as yet another heavy-handed effort aligning with the administration’s creepily pro-natalist agenda—which has been devoid of any subtlety, rife with unsettling recommendations, and way too decorated with Vance’s apparently active sex life. And I can’t believe I’m saying this… but damn, I miss the couch scandal.
