'Gross' Slate piece comes under fire for suggesting Usha Vance pregnancy is political strategy
Fox News
A Slate writer took heat for suggesting Vice President JD Vance and Usha Vance announced her pregnancy this month for politically strategic reasons.
Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"As the highly educated daughter of Indian immigrants, Usha not only doesn’t burnish Vance’s MAGA credentials; she undermines them. When reports of a possible divorce on the horizon began to swirl in November, it wasn’t altogether surprising. Reckoning with all those contradictions was inevitable, right?" Schwedel wrote on Friday. Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
The Vances announced this month they are expecting their fourth child in July, and Schwedel suggested the pregnancy was a way to appeal to the MAGA base.
