J.D. Vance brushed off Laura Loomerā€™s racist comments, despite being married to an Indian American woman.

J.D. Vance would apparently rather protect Donald Trumpā€™s decision to pal around with self-described ā€œproud Islamophobeā€ and 9/11 conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer than stand up for his own wife.

Trump has been seen withĀ Loomer several times over the last couple of weeks, with the pair getting eyebrow-raisingly close (Trumpā€™s hand has been spotted in the small of Loomerā€™s back) while Melania Trump has largely remained out of the limelight. Loomer attended a 9/11 memorial service with Trump and also accompanied him to the presidential debate.

In an interview Sunday with NBC News, Vance was asked directly about his and his wife Usha Vanceā€™s opinions on some of Loomerā€™s overt racism, including her claim that Vice President Kamala Harrisā€™s ascendency to the Oval Office would make the White House ā€œsmell like curry.ā€ But Vance wouldnā€™t take a stand against the alt-right ally.

ā€¦

ā€œDo I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I donā€™t,ā€ Vance continued. ā€œI also donā€™t think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No. Kamala Harris is running for president, and whether youā€™re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.ā€

    Now that weā€™re discussing Laura Lamer and her presumed copulation with Diaper Drumpā€¦.

    What happened to Melanomia, that faded model and speech duplicater that happened to be the official wife? Anyone seen her in the last few months?

      On one hand, Melania is a horrible person in her own right. On the other, I donā€™t think any other single person has done more to humiliate and infuriate Cadet Bonespurs.

      I liked it when she refused to move to Washington and when she made the White House look like a torture chamber for Christmas.

      Melanie is likely doing what she truly loves. Shopping in Manhattan and spending time with Hans the yoga instructor, while Trump is far far away

      More importantly, no more creepy comments about Ivanka. Now we know why: Ivanka is too old for Trump

      She has some sort of book coming out and is set to do dozens of interviews but Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll be extremely controlled publicity interviews where she just says cliches.
