BREAKING: Tensions escalate as a White House official publicly lashes out at former press secretary Jen Psaki for derogatory comments made about Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance. In a recent episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast released on October 10, 2023, Psaki mocked Usha Vance, questioning her well-being in a biting tone.
Psaki, currently hosting her own show on MSNBC, said, “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.” This comment ignited a fierce response from Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend Usha Vance.
Cheung didn’t hold back, labeling Psaki a “dumbass” and “moron” in his retort. “Psaki must be transferring her own personal issues onto others,” he stated, sharing a clip of her remarks. He further criticized her, saying she lacks comprehension of the truth and must overcompensate for her shortcomings by making false claims. His post concluded with a jab at Psaki’s infamous phrase used during her tenure, “Circle back on that, moron.”
In her podcast appearance, Psaki also described JD Vance as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump. She characterized him as a “little Manchurian candidate” with an overwhelming desire to become president, willing to adapt his persona to fit the expectations of his audience. However, she suggested that Vance faces challenges within the MAGA movement due to his lack of charisma, stating he has “no rizz” and is “a little odd.”
This unfolding confrontation highlights the ongoing political tensions in the White House and the broader implications for the Republican Party as they navigate leadership dynamics. Psaki’s remarks and the White House’s swift rebuttal are capturing national attention, making this a highly shareable story.
As developments continue to unfold, analysts and political commentators will be watching closely to see how this exchange affects the relationships within the current administration and the GOP. Stay tuned for more updates on this urgent story, as it continues to evolve.
