Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki faced backlash after making inflammatory comments about Vice President JD Vance and his wife during a podcast appearance.
On the “I’ve Had It Podcast,” Psaki labeled Vance “scarier” than former president Donald Trump, speculating about his wife Usha’s well-being. She said, “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. We’ll come over here. We’ll save you.” The podcast description later referenced this remark, joking, “Usha Vance, please blink twice if you need help.”
The comments ignited widespread criticism online, with many accusing Psaki of undermining a political family’s privacy. Reactions highlighted accusations of insensitivity and inappropriate speculation about Usha Vance’s personal life.
