<p>Usha Vance said she has grown a &#8220;thick skin&#8221; in the face of media attacks in the weeks since her husband, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), was tapped as former President Donald Trump&#8217;s running mate.</p>
<p>The vice presidential candidate&#8217;s wife, 38, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbXEj23l56w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> about her husband during an interview at their Ohio home that aired on Monday. Fox News&#8217;s Ainsley Earhardt asked Vance how she handles the negative press around her husband.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well that can be hard,&#8221; Vance responded. &#8220;Sometimes I don&#8217;t see it all, and sometimes I do see it and I look at it and think well, this is not the JD I know. This is not accurate. And other times it might spawn discussions or thoughts about what we should do next or how we should live.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;But I think we&#8217;ve been doing this now for a little while, and I&#8217;ve gotten kind of accustomed to it and grown a bit of a thick skin,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I just try to not let it affect the way that I live.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of those controversial headlines involved Vance <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6265796735001" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> the U.S. is run by &#8220;a bunch of childless cat ladies&#8221; who are &#8220;miserable&#8221; in their own lives and want to make the rest of the country miserable, specifically calling out Vice President Kamala Harris.</p>
<p>&#8220;What he was really saying is that it can be really hard to be a parent in this country,&#8221; Vance remarked. &#8220;And sometimes our policies are designed in a way that make it even harder, and we should be asking ourselves why is that true? What is it about our leadership and the way they think about the world that makes it so hard sometimes for parents?&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked what she would say to women offended by that comment, Vance invited them to &#8220;look at the real conversation that he’s trying to have and engage with it and understand for those of us who do have families, for the many of us who want to have families and for whom it’s really hard, what can we do to make it better? What can we do to make it easier to live in 2024?&#8221;</p>
<p>Vance also discussed her feelings around a trans-identifying friend of the family sharing decade-old emails from Vance with the media.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is hard to know that sometimes politics comes in the way of friendships,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It is hurtful, and it is sad.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1722954638989000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2h4_GXX2w1UYpx8R3FKqzi">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></b></p>
<p>Vance added that people have speculated a lot about both her and her husband, but she does not want to do the same to them.</p>
<p>She expressed her optimism about another Trump presidency.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I didn&#8217;t feel that the ticket, the Trump Vance ticket was able to do some real good for the country then I wouldn&#8217;t be here supporting him. JD wouldn&#8217;t have done this,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Vance met her husband while both were studying at Yale Law School. They have been married for 10 years and share three young children. She said they plan to &#8220;let them have their lives as children, which I think they really deserve&#8221; as well as &#8220;let them spend lots of time with their father, and if that&#8217;s sometimes seen by other people, great.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the couple remains in the spotlight, Vance said she wanted Americans to know her husband is a &#8220;real person,&#8221; a &#8220;wonderful father,&#8221; and her &#8220;best friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He is funny. He has all sorts of dorky interests,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You look at the news sometimes and you just see this caricature of a human, and he&#8217;s a really good person.&#8221;</p>
