White House Slams Jen Psaki’s Remarks on Usha Vance, Sparks Controversy

UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official lashes out at Jen Psaki, calling her a “dumbass” and “moron” following her controversial remarks about Second Lady Usha Vance. The remarks were made during an episode of the I’ve Had It podcast released on October 10, 2023.

Psaki, who previously served as White House press secretary under President Joe Biden and currently hosts her own show on MSNBC, stirred the pot with her comments. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” she said, referring to Usha Vance. “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you.”

The backlash was swift. Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications, took to social media platform X to fire back at Psaki’s comments. Cheung accused her of projecting her own personal issues onto others, stating, “Psaki must be transferring her own personal issues onto others,” and shared a clip of her remarks. His tweet concluded with a biting remark, “Circle back on that, moron,” referencing a phrase Psaki frequently used during her tenure.

In her podcast comments, Psaki also described JD Vance as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump. She called him a “chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.” Additionally, she claimed Vance is “a little odd” and lacks the “rizz”—or charisma—necessary to lead the MAGA movement effectively.

This public feud between Psaki and the White House is generating significant attention, reflecting broader tensions in American politics. As both sides exchange barbs, viewers are left questioning the implications of these remarks on Vance’s political future and the overall dynamics within the current administration.

Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops. The political landscape is shifting, and the reaction from both the public and political analysts will be closely monitored in the coming days.
