White House Official Slams Jen Psaki Over Usha Vance Remarks

UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official harshly criticizes former Press Secretary Jen Psaki following her controversial remarks about Usha Vance, the Second Lady and wife of Vice President JD Vance. In a podcast episode released on October 10, 2023, Psaki made mocking comments that have sparked outrage.

During an appearance on the “I’ve Had It” podcast, Psaki questioned Usha Vance’s well-being, saying, “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you.” Her remarks quickly drew a fierce response from Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications, who took to X to label Psaki a “dumbass” and “moron.”

Cheung stated, “Psaki must be transferring her own personal issues onto others,” sharing a clip of her comments. He further criticized her for lacking comprehension of the truth and needing to “overcompensate” for her perceived shortcomings.

Psaki did not hold back in her assessment of JD Vance either, describing him as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump. She referred to him as “the little Manchurian candidate” who is desperate for the presidency and accused him of being a “chameleon” who changes his persona to suit his audience. Psaki added that Vance’s lack of charisma, or “rizz,” and his “odd” demeanor would hinder his efforts within the MAGA movement.

This incident marks a significant escalation in political tensions as both sides exchange barbs through social media and public statements. The former press secretary’s comments come at a time when political discourse is already highly charged, making her remarks all the more incendiary.

As this story continues to develop, many are watching closely for further responses from Psaki and the White House. What happens next could further influence public perception and the political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.
