UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official has publicly condemned former press secretary Jen Psaki for her mocking comments concerning Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance. The controversy ignited after Psaki’s remarks surfaced on the “I’ve Had It” podcast released earlier today.
In her podcast appearance, Psaki questioned Usha Vance’s well-being, stating, “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 prompted a swift and fierce response from the White House’s current director of communications, Steven Cheung, who labeled Psaki a “dumbass” and a “moron” in a scathing post on X.
Cheung accused Psaki of projecting her personal issues onto others, asserting that she “has no comprehension of the truth and has to overcompensate for her lack of talent by saying untrue things.” He also referenced her signature phrase, “Circle back on that, moron,” to drive home his point.
Psaki’s comments did not stop there. She characterized JD Vance as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump, suggesting that he is a “little Manchurian candidate” obsessed with achieving the presidency. She further criticized his charisma, stating that he has “no rizz” and is “a little odd,” claiming he would struggle to rally support from the MAGA movement.
This developing story raises questions about the ongoing dynamics within the current administration and its interactions with former officials. As the backlash continues, observers are watching closely to see how both the White House and Psaki will respond.
Stay tuned for more updates as this situation unfolds.
