US Vice President JD Vance on Friday defended his remarks about his wife, Usha Vance's Hindu faith, saying she is "not a Christian and has no plans to convert," while rejecting criticism that he had "thrown her religion under the bus in public".

In a strongly worded post on X, Vance called the backlash against his comments "disgusting" and accused his critics of "anti-Christian bigotry".

"What a disgusting comment, and it's hardly been the only one along these lines," Vance wrote, responding to social media users who accused him of disrespecting his wife's religion.
