Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has come under fire after making controversial claims about the marital life and political ambitions of US Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, during an episode of her podcast series “I’ve Had It.” Speaking without evidence, Psaki suggested that the couple’s marriage might be in trouble and implied that Vance is driven by an intense desire to become president.

What Psaki Said About JD And Usha Vance

In the podcast, Psaki described Vance as a “little Manchurian candidate” with presidential ambitions, claiming he will do anything to achieve his goals. She added, “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.”

Psaki continued to assert that Vance is a political “chameleon”, moulding himself to suit whichever audience he faces. She argued that while he is ambitious and “scarier in certain ways,” he lacks the charisma, or “rizz,” to mobilise a movement on the scale ofTrump.

White House Staff Responds

The remarks drew a swift and scathing response from Steven Cheung, the White House Director of Communications. On his official X account, Cheung attacked Psaki using strong language and misspelling her name. He wrote, “Jen Psaki must be transferring her own personal issues onto others. @jrpsaki is a dumba* who has no comprehension of the truth and has to overcompensate for her lack of talent by saying untrue things. Circle back on that, moron.”*

Backlash And Public Reaction

Psaki’s statements have sparked criticism from multiple sides of the political spectrum. Far-left commentators called her assertions baseless and sensationalist, while MAGA supporters highlighted her comments as an example of liberal bias and media overreach. Psaki, who now hosts MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, has not issued a formal apology or retraction, further fueling debate.
