Although many in the nationalist wing of the Republican Party have cheered the nomination of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as vice president, Newsweek reports that some of former President Donald Trump's white nationalist supporters are unhappy with the choice.

At issue is the fact that Vance's wife, Usha Vance, is the daughter of Indian immigrants, which is leading some far-right influencers to be suspicious that he won't really be as tough on immigration as they hope.

"Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?" asked neo-Nazi podcaster and one-time Trump dinner guest Nick Fuentes recently.

"There is an obvious Indian coup taking place in the US right before our eyes," complained far-right podcaster Stew Peters.

"JD Vance gets tapped as VP and immediately there's a Hindu prayer at the RNC," said Vincent James Foxx, a Trump supporter who attended the "Stop the Steal" rally in January 6th, 2021. "Next we'll see Sen. Mike Lee and JD Vance team up to convince Trump to let in 10 million Indian immigrants. Green cards on diplomas!"

"I'm sure this guy is going to be great on immigration," sarcastically wrote Jaden McNeil, the founder of the right-wing America First Students.
