She doesn’t eat meat
-- an admission she gave in her RNC speech that reportedly drew gasps from the crowd

and perhaps most importantly, her political views, what was known of them, do not seem particularly MAGA.

Since her recent elevation to the national scene, many publications have tried to pick apart what #Usha #Vance's political leanings are,
and when they might have changed.

She most recently worked for a law firm that is known for its commitment to DEI;

she told her friends she was outraged by Jan. 6, 2021;

and in her youth, those around her seemed to assume she was a left-of-center thinker.

There’s a specific kind of #cognitive #dissonance that comes from watching a woman of color
who seemed to have been intellectually reared in progressive circles
endear herself to this iteration of the Republican Party,

so it’s no surprise that the main question being asked of Usha Vance has ended up:

Is she actually a Republican, or what?
