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.

"First off, the question was from a person seemingly to my left, about my interfaith marriage. I'm a public figure, and people are curious, and I wasn't going to avoid the question."
