Vance Fires Back at Personal Attacks
JD Vance has finally responded to months of remarks about his wife, Usha. This time, he did not soften his words. Instead, he delivered an explicit two-word message aimed at both white nationalist Nick Fuentes and former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.
Pressure Builds to Respond
For weeks, pressure mounted on the vice president to directly rebuke Fuentes. The Holocaust denier labeled Vance a “race traitor” for marrying Usha, who was born in California to Indian immigrant parents. As criticism grew, many waited for a clear response.
A Broader Rebuke
However, Vance expanded his response beyond Fuentes. Speaking to UK outlet UnHerd in an article published on December 22, he also addressed comments made by Democrat Jen Psaki. In October, Psaki mocked Usha on the I’ve Had It podcast, suggesting she needed to be “saved.”
A Blunt Message
Vance left no room for doubt. He strongly defended the second lady and issued a blunt command to his critics.
“Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s**t,” he said.
“That’s my official policy as vice-president of the United States.”
Rejecting Extremism
Meanwhile, Fuentes has repeatedly attacked Vance since he became Donald Trump’s running mate. He questioned whether Vance could support “white identity” because of his family.
In response, Vance clearly rejected Fuentes’ ideology. He condemned antisemitism and all forms of ethnic hatred.
“Antisemitism and all forms of ethnic hatred have no place in the conservative movement,” he said.
“Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white, Black, or Jewish, it’s disgusting.”
A Call for Unity on the Right
These remarks followed Vance’s appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. There, he criticized parts of the MAGA movement for turning on conservatives who fail what he called “endless, self-defeating purity tests.”
Speaking at the event, now led by Erika Kirk, Vance appeared to address pundits attacking fellow conservatives. He pushed for unity rather than internal warfare.
No Interest in “Canceling” Allies
Despite recent controversies involving figures like Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson, Vance made his stance clear. He said he did not come to denounce or deplatform anyone.
“I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce,” he said.
“The best way to honor Charlie is not doing in death what he refused to do in life.”
Standing Together
Vance closed with a message of solidarity.
“When I say I’m going to fight alongside you, I mean all of you,” he said.
A Personal Moment
Finally, Vance shared a personal reflection. The death of close ally Charlie Kirk sent him into a dark spiral. He spent nights reading conspiracy theories online until Usha intervened.
“When my lovely wife told me to come to bed, I said I owed it to Charlie to uncover every stone,” he said.
“It’s the only time I can remember her being truly worried about me.”
In the end, Vance made one thing clear. Attacks on his wife cross a line—and he will answer them directly.
