A video of JD Vance’s entry with his wife of Indian-origin Usha Chilukuri in the RNC (Republican National Convention) is making waves on social media platform  X. In this video, the crowd can be heard chanting “India-India” as JD Vance walks into the RNC convention along with his wife. Users are fiercely sharing this video and alleging that the RNC crowd chanted India-India as JD Vance brought soon-to-be second lady Usha Chilukuri to the convention.

An account with the username @JaunAmerica posted this video on X and wrote: “India India” chants as JD Vance brings soon to be second lady Usha Chilukuri into the RNC convention”

Followed by Jaun America, other users also shared this video and made similar claims.

Fact-Check

The DFRAC team investigated the viral video and found the same clip on the official X handle of Benny Johnson with the caption: JUST IN: JD Vance walks into the RNC convention. In this shared video clip, we noted that no slogans of India-India have been raised by the crowd at the convention. In fact, soft music can be heard on the entry of JD Vance and his wife.

For further authentication, we reverse-searched the key frames generated from this video and found some video reports on the YouTube channel of Face The Nation and CBS News showcasing the same visuals along with the same music, which can be heard in Benny Johnson’s shared video.

Conclusion

It is clear from DFRAC’s fact-check that the India-India slogans have been digitally added to the viral video clip. Originally, soft music can be heard as JD Vance makes his first appearance with his wife at the RNC.

Hence, the claim made by the users is false.
