Wesley Defends Wife Amid Criticism, Cites Cultural Roots

The vice president also addressed a recent attack by Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul Al‑Saeed, who questioned whether Usha’s Indian heritage could ever fit into a "white" political family. Wes­ley rebuked the insinuation, noting that Al‑Saeed himself was raised by white step‑parents and that such racial logic is absurd. He argued that love and partnership transcend skin colour, asserting that anyone who says a man named James cannot love someone named Usha is simply mistaken.
