UPDATE: Tensions escalate as a White House official lashes out at former press secretary Jen Psaki following her controversial remarks about Second Lady Usha Vance. In a podcast episode released on October 3, 2023, Psaki questioned Usha’s well-being in light of her marriage to Vice President JD Vance, prompting a fierce response from current White House communications director Steven Cheung.
Psaki’s comments on the “I’ve Had It” podcast sparked immediate backlash. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” she stated, suggesting Usha might need help. Cheung retaliated on social media, calling Psaki a “dumbass” and “moron,” claiming she was projecting her own issues onto others. He further criticized her for lacking credibility and talent.
In a series of pointed remarks, Cheung shared a clip of Psaki’s comments on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Circle back on that, moron,” referencing her infamous phrase from her tenure as press secretary. Psaki did not hold back in her critique of JD Vance, labeling him as “scarier in certain ways” than former President Donald Trump, and describing him as a “little Manchurian candidate” with ambitions for the presidency.
She argued that Vance’s appeal to the MAGA movement would falter due to his lack of charisma, stating he has “no rizz” and is “a little odd.” The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions within political circles and raises questions about the dynamics of Vance’s political ambitions.
This developing story underscores the fierce political climate in Washington, where personal attacks and public feuds are common. As both sides prepare for the fallout, the implications of these remarks could resonate throughout the political landscape.
Stay tuned for further updates as this situation unfolds.
