That\u2019s because I see him read books to our own kids every day,\u201d a smiling Usha told the audience as she introduced her special guest. \u201cThat\u2019s right. Today\u2019s special reader is my husband, Vice President of the United States, JD Vance. Thanks for joining us today, honey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOf course. Good to see you,\u201d Vance replied, gingerly patting his wife\u2019s knee twice in a supposed show of affection.<\/p>\n<p>A clip of the odd gesture quickly made the rounds online, with several social media users raising their eyebrows at the lack of chemistry between the couple. They have been married for more than a decade and share three young kids, with a fourth on the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never in my entire life of reluctant heterosexuality had a man slap my knee like that. You can\u2019t convince me these people know each other\u2019s coffee orders let alone have been intimate together,\u201d political influencer MamaSissieSays wrote on X, gaining tens of thousands of likes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe face Usha Vance makes when JD touches her knee is a cry for help if I\u2019ve ever seen one,\u201d Democratic strategist Mike Nellis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoly s&#8211;t. This painfully awkward JD Vance moment is going viral,\u201d anti-MAGA influencer Joe Gallina said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen more chemistry during the Iran negotiations. This guy will never be president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing says \u2018happy marriage\u2019 quite like greeting your own wife as if you just met her,\u201d another user chimed in.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2084\">Trump\u2019s Private Health Troubles Are Revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The vice president also used his special appearance to suck up to President Donald Trump as the battle for the MAGA throne heats up ahead of 2028.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m lucky enough to serve under a president who gives me a lot of responsibility. So, there are a lot of things that we do,\u201d he said as he explained his job.<\/p>\n<p>The Swamp, the Daily Beast\u2019s political newsletter, has extensively covered Usha\u2019s Easter eggs throughout her <i>Storytime <\/i>series that appear to be at odds with her husband\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In one episode, for example, Usha\u2019s mother, microbiologist Lakshmi Chilukuri, read <i>How the Camel Got His Hump<\/i>. At one point, Usha asked her mother if she believed the story of how the camel got his hump was accurate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d the microbiologist says, \u201cThere\u2019s a whole science called evolution that tells you how animals develop the way they did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second lady also prominently displays <i>Treasure Island<\/i> on a bookshelf. Its author, 19th-century Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, once told his father he had rejected Christianity and did not believe in God.<\/p>\n<p>Usha\u2019s bookshelf also boasts <i>Rocco Travels with the Presidents!<\/i>, written by child author Rocco Smirne with his mother, Arioth Harrison Smirne, who works at the White House Historical Association. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In the book, a young boy rides in Joe Biden\u2019s Corvette, bicycles with Jimmy Carter, boards Air Force One with Bill Clinton, and walks toward the Beast with Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2082\">Dog Killer ICE Barbie\u2019s Goons Exposed for Heartless Act of Animal Cruelty<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President JD Vance sat down for storytime with his pregnant wife\u2014and promptly got roasted on social media.
