Sounds like Usha (her daughter) made a bad choice for a husband (Vance). Must make for some very tense dinnertable conversations.
- I mean, there is a significant population of Indians that have very conservative values on the same level of MAGA republicans.
- I don't think marrying someone like Vance is akin to a bad choice. Hard to believe Usha doesn't know exactly what she's doing. She had two university professors as parents and went to Yale. She's not stupid.
