I know why Usha Vance ditched her wedding ring. Most women would do the same if they'd suffered her humiliation: KENNEDY
Second Lady Usha Vance sent the ravenous DC whisper machine into overdrive last week when she stepped out on a visit to Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina sans wedding band.
The Vances have been plagued by cruel breakup rumors lately, and the fixation may be pure fiction.
But knowing the way gossip has been trending, you'd think Usha and her team would be more vigilant to make sure the Second marriage appears more solid and buttoned up than ever.
The statement put out by her team did little to quell the silly speculation, as a flak relayed on Usha's behalf that she 'is a mother of three young children who does a lot of dishes, gives a lot of baths and forgets her ring sometimes.'
The spokeshole doth protest too much, methinks!
How much scrubbing of pots and pans does anyone really think Usha is forced to suffer at the well-staffed Naval Observatory, her official residence in DC?
What's more, pointing out the rigors of motherhood doesn't exactly scream to doubters, 'Everything's fine, guys!'

We all know that political wives at Usha's level travel with teams of minders and fussbudgets who triple check every shade of lipstick, accessory and errant hair in need of spray. There's surely no way being ringless was a ditzy afterthought.
In fact, she was also without her ring on November 10 – on a visit to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with her husband – so it's clearly becoming something of a habit.
Perhaps she's being counseled by First Lady Melania Trump, undisputed queen of sending sartorial messages to the jaw-jacking chorus of lookie-loos and gossip hounds who feast on people's perceived misery for sport and profit.
Melania, who joined Usha on the Camp Lejeune visit, famously wore that 'I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?' jacket on a visit to a migrant detention center back in 2018.
Now, a lot of people seem to care about Usha's bare hand, and maybe she's weaponized that to send a not-so-subtle fourth finger to her husband who has recently taken to publicly goading her into his Catholic faith.
'Hey bro,' Usha, who is a practicing Hindu, might as well have said. 'I have the power in this marriage, so stop humiliating me.'
Maybe she's sending a not-so-subtle fourth finger to her husband who has recently taken to publicly goading her into his Catholic faith.
Last month, the VP who was once an atheist told a Turning Point USA event, 'As I've told her, and I've said publicly, and I'll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church? Yeah, honestly, I do wish that because I believe in the Christian Gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.'
Usha has now seen the uproar a tiny omission can stir. A little thing like a forgotten ring can go an awfully long way in reminding a clumsy husband how precious and irreplaceable his wife truly is.
I'm no theologian, but I'm pretty certain public humiliation is not the most efficient vehicle for the Holy Spirit to persuade someone to your faith.
Try a little tenderness, JD. And if that fails – who knows, perhaps the next message Usha sends will be a little less quiet and a lot more interesting.
