“Making fun of your wife is not the flex you think it is @JDVance,” an internet user said.

Another said, “She looks miserable.”

One said, “That sounds like a threat. She should consult a lawyer and ensure the long-term safety and security of herself and the children. I know how this goes over time in a marriage. The threats get real.”

“How does Usha sleep at night???”

“I am sorry for Usha.”

“Usha, blink twice if you need help.”

A user said, “the classic “just smile and nod” routine! Because what better way to celebrate Women’s Month than by reminding women their role is to grin through whatever comes their way? Maybe someone should suggest that, this Women’s Month, he try something radical like actually letting her express what she thinks, even if it’s just through gestures.”

“Congratulations to Usha Vance, a supposedly accomplished attorney who is now a merely decorative cheerleader,” came from another.
