'So deranged!' JD Vance lashes out at critics sickened by anti-migrant rant

Vice President JD Vance doubled down Monday on his past remarks about how it was “totally reasonable” for Americans to want their neighbors to speak the same language, lashing out at critics as being “so deranged.”

Vance sat down with New York Post’s Miranda Devine in late October for a lengthy interview on the outlet’s “Pod Force One” podcast, during which he defended Americans that didn’t want non-English speakers as neighbors.

Clips of his remarks resurfaced and went viral on Sunday, leading to many critics condemning Vance’s remarks, and mocking him for unintentionally signaling he wouldn’t want to live next to his own in-laws, many of whom are from Andhra Pradesh in India and likely speak Telugu.

“What's reasonable is to want to share a language with your neighbor. How do you borrow a cup of sugar? Resolve disagreements? Have a nice conversation?” Vance wrote Monday in a social media post on X.

“You need a common language, and in America, that language is English. The far left became so deranged on immigration that they're attacking people for wanting to be able to speak to their neighbors.”

Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, is Indian American and a second-generation immigrant born to parents who immigrated to the United States sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Vance’s defense of Americans who don’t want non-English speaking neighbors is just the latest controversy surrounding the vice president and his wife, with speculation ongoing about the state of their marriage following Usha Vance being photographed in public without her wedding ring, and JD Vance’s warm embrace of Erika Kirk in the wake of her husband’s killing.
