This was low even for Democrats.
Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki is under fire after making what many Americans are calling a vile and disrespectful attack on Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance.
During a recent appearance on the liberal “I’ve Had It” podcast, Psaki mocked the Second Lady and implied she might be afraid of her husband — a remark that quickly sparked outrage across social media.
“JD Vance strikes me as a kind of Manchurian candidate who’s desperate to become president,” Psaki scoffed. “Sometimes I wonder what’s going through his wife’s mind — like, is she alright? Maybe blink a few times and we’ll come rescue you.”
Her comments immediately went viral — and not in a good way. Conservatives accused Psaki of crossing a moral line by attacking a private citizen and devoted mother.
JD Vance Fires Back in Defense of His Wife
Speaking to reporters in Israel, Vice President JD Vance didn’t mince words.
“I think it’s disgraceful,” Vance said. “But of course, the Second Lady can speak for herself. I’m very lucky to have a wonderful wife, and I’m honored she’s by my side.”
The Vice President’s remarks struck a chord with millions of Americans who admire the couple’s faith, humility, and strong family values — qualities often mocked by the liberal elite in Washington and the mainstream media.
Conservatives Slam Psaki for ‘Disgusting’ Remarks
Backlash to Psaki’s attack spread rapidly. Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung blasted Psaki for “projecting her own personal issues onto others,” adding that she “has to overcompensate for her lack of talent by saying untrue things.”
Fox News contributor Joe Concha also weighed in, saying flatly, “Psaki is not a good person. At all.”
Across social media, conservatives accused Psaki and the left of a pattern — demeaning strong conservative women who refuse to fit their narrative.
Who Is Usha Vance?
Far from Psaki’s caricature, Usha Vance is an accomplished attorney, mother, and devoted wife. A graduate of Yale Law School, she served as a clerk for Chief Justice John Roberts and then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh. She later became a respected litigator handling high-profile civil and appellate cases.
The official White House biography describes her as a seasoned attorney with extensive experience handling complex civil and appellate cases across multiple industries.
JD Vance wrote about his wife in his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, calling her his “Yale spirit guide” and saying her support made him feel “at home in a world that always seemed a little foreign.”
A Family That Embodies Conservative Values
JD and Usha Vance married after law school and now have three children — Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. Their young family represents what many Americans see as a rare example of faith, family, and patriotism in public life.
In an age when the media glorifies chaos and division, the Vances symbolize the steady, faith-centered American values that millions of conservatives continue to fight for.
Final Thought
Jen Psaki’s comments didn’t just attack one woman — they revealed how the modern left treats conservative wives and mothers: with mockery, not respect. But Usha Vance, with grace and dignity, stands as living proof that family, faith, and strength still define America’s heartland.
