@genxjamerican.com Vance’s wife has been more observant of her religious traditions a lot longer than he has of Catholicism, so he’s earned the criticism he’s getting. At the same time, Usha Vance is not a casualty here. She’s bought into the conservative movement and its hypocrisies just like her husband.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social Between the lobbying of Uganda’s government by U.S. evangelicals to implement anti-LGBT policy and what you’ve said about Nigerian charismatics, it sounds like a feedback loop that’s bad for all the countries involved.
@genxjamerican.com Neither Kirk nor Vance showed any respect to his marriage in that moment. It’s the latest in a long series of examples of why people in this country don’t take Christians seriously.

@editorialboard.bsky.social Since the coverage is inept and/or actually harmful anyway, maybe more Democrats should go further and actively insult the press for doing their jobs poorly. Why not call out the double standard mainstream media operates under explicitly?
@vikrambath.bsky.social I hate pieces like this. The Boston Globe really decided to waste column inches on Gen Z coffee and fitness membership choices when billionaires are buying mayoral candidates, Supreme Court justices, congressmen, and yachts with their spare cash?
