UPDATE: Tensions escalate as the White House responds sharply to remarks made by former press secretary Jen Psaki regarding Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance. In a recent episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast released on October 24, 2023, Psaki made controversial comments that have drawn fierce backlash from the current administration.
During the podcast, Psaki questioned Usha Vance’s well-being, asking, “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you.” This prompted a swift reaction from White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to label Psaki a “dumbass” and a “moron.” Cheung criticized her remarks, suggesting that she is “transferring her own personal issues onto others,” and dismissed her claims as “untrue.”
In her comments, Psaki also expressed concerns about JD Vance’s political ambitions, stating he is “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump. She described him as a “little Manchurian candidate” who is “willing to do anything” to achieve his goals, labeling him as “a chameleon” who adapts his views to fit his audience. Psaki further remarked that Vance lacks “rizz”—a term for charisma—and is “a little odd.”
The escalating feud underscores the ongoing tensions in U.S. politics and the personal jabs that often accompany them. Psaki’s remarks have sparked discussions about the nature of political discourse and personal attacks in the media.
As the situation develops, observers are watching closely to see how both Psaki and the White House respond. Will this controversy affect Psaki’s standing as a political commentator on MSNBC? What are the implications for JD Vance’s political future?
This is a rapidly unfolding story, and updates will follow as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest developments in this contentious exchange.
