Far-right commentator Nick Fuentes has come under heavy criticism for insulting the Indian community after a spat involving US Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance. Fuentes openly called Usha Vance a “jeet,” a racial slur directed at people of Indian heritage, sparking widespread backlash. JD Vance, vocal in defending his wife, responded strongly to the attack. Speaking to UnHerd, he said, “Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s**t. That’s my official policy as Vice President of the United States.” Vance stressed that hatred and ethnic discrimination have no place in American conservatism.

Racism And Discrimination

Vance condemned all forms of racial and ethnic attacks, saying, “Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white or because they’re black or because they’re Jewish, I think it’s disgusting.” He also criticised political double standards, pointing out normalisation of discrimination against whites in areas like college admissions and employment.

‘Traditional Indian Dinner’

Despite his antagonistic behaviour, Fuentes claimed he was “touched” by JD Vance’s invitation to a “traditional Indian dinner” with his family. However, he added a racially insensitive remark suggesting Indians “eat s**t,” widely condemned for its blatant bigotry. 

Former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki also came under scrutiny. Psaki had speculated on Usha Vance’s role in JD Vance’s ambitions, suggesting the Second Lady might need to be “saved.” Vance rejected these comments, placing Psaki in the same category as Fuentes regarding attacks on his wife.

Vance Advocates For Civility In Conservatism

Speaking on the state of the conservative movement, Vance cautioned against ideological purity tests and extreme gatekeeping. He acknowledged Fuentes as a podcaster with a disruptive following but emphasised judging people by their deeds rather than their ethnicity. His remarks followed debates at a Turning Point USA gathering featuring voices like Vivek Ramaswamy and Ben Shapiro.
