White House Condemns Psaki’s Mocking Comments on Usha Vance

UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official has launched a scathing attack on former press secretary Jen Psaki following her controversial remarks about Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance. During a recent episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast released on October 24, 2023, Psaki made mocking comments suggesting Usha Vance might need help, prompting a furious response from the White House.

In the podcast, Psaki questioned, “Are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you,” referring to Usha Vance’s marriage. Her comments drew immediate backlash, with current White House director of communications Steven Cheung calling her a “dumbass” and a “moron” in a post on X. Cheung accused Psaki of projecting her own issues onto others, stating she has “no comprehension of the truth” and “overcompensates for her lack of talent” with untrue statements.

Psaki, who now hosts her own show on MSNBC, further claimed that JD Vance is “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump. She described him as a “little Manchurian candidate” who “wants to be president more than anything else,” labeling him a “chameleon” who adapts himself to please audiences. However, she also expressed skepticism about his appeal, stating that he has “no rizz”—a slang term for charisma—and is “a little odd.”

The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions within the political landscape, particularly regarding the MAGA movement and its key figures. Cheung concluded his response with a jab at Psaki, referencing her well-known phrase, “Circle back on that, moron.”

This situation is rapidly developing, with many anticipating further exchanges between Psaki and the White House. As the political climate intensifies, this incident reflects the broader divisions and fierce rivalries shaping contemporary discourse.

More updates are expected as both sides continue to respond. Stay tuned for the latest developments.
