White House Official Slams Jen Psaki’s Remarks on Usha Vance

UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official launched a fierce attack on former White House press secretary Jen Psaki following her controversial remarks about Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, during the “I’ve Had It” podcast released on October 10, 2023. Psaki’s comments have ignited a firestorm of reactions, underscoring the political climate’s growing volatility.

In the podcast, Psaki questioned Usha Vance’s well-being, stating, “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you.” This remark prompted a vehement response from Steven Cheung, the current White House director of communications, who condemned Psaki’s comments as a reflection of her own issues. Cheung took to X (formerly Twitter) to call her “a dumbass who has no comprehension of the truth” and added, “Circle back on that, moron,” referencing Psaki’s well-known phrase from her tenure as press secretary.

Psaki didn’t stop there; she characterized JD Vance as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump, claiming he is “a little odd” and lacks the charisma necessary to lead the MAGA movement effectively. Her harsh words included labeling Vance a “chameleon” willing to say anything to appeal to his audience.

The confrontation marks a significant moment in the ongoing political discourse, highlighting the fractures within the current administration and the broader Republican landscape. The impact of Psaki’s comments and Cheung’s retaliatory remarks could reverberate through political circles as the 2024 election approaches.
