MSNBC's Alex Wagner Calls JD Vance's Wish to Be Buried in Family Plot an ‘Easter Egg of White Nationalism’
Indian Patriarchal Nationalism is okay, though.
From Mediaite:
MSNBC’s Alex Wagner accused Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance of dropping multiple “Easter eggs of white nationalism.”
Wagner:
“[T]here were some sort of Easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech…he went on a long sort of paragraph at least about this plot in eastern Kentucky, where his 7 or 6 generations of his family are buried, and his hope is that his wife and he are eventually laid to rest there and their kids follow them.”
Wagner specifically complained that JD believes HIS history “should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vances and not the Vances from San Diego, which is where his wife is from and where her Indian parents are from.”
“In America,” Wagner huffed, “it doesn’t always have to be the white male lineage that trumps that, that defines the family history.”
Instead, Wagner demands that the Vance family story be based on Indian patriarchy. Usha’s maiden name (Chilukuri), is, of course, the last name of her father, which is the last name of his father, which was the last name of his father, etc.
It’s got to be tough going through life looking for stuff to bitch about all the time. Must be a fun hanging out with “guys” like Alex.
No matter how deranged certain MSNBC types are in our estimation (see also Joy Reid), it's not enough.
