MSNBC host Jen Psaki is being called out for suggesting that Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha, finds him "scarier" than President Donald Trump and is perhaps a hostage in her own home, Fox News reported. The former White House press secretary made this outrageous claim on the podcast I've Had It, released on Wednesday.
The title of the podcast episode, "Devil Wears MAGA with Jen Psaki," clearly conveys the viewpoint of all involved. Psaki served as the press secretary under then-President Joe Biden, where she was often forced to cover for the feeble-minded commander-in-chief and toe the Democratic Party line.
Now she has a cushy cable news gig because of it, but her unbelievable bias continues to come through in her remarks. This is especially troubling because, as a leftist woman, she is supposed to be supportive of her fellow females in the public eye, but Psaki made the most disparaging comments about Usha Vance and her relationship with her husband.
Psaki and hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan pulled no punches in Tuesday's sitdown, which already had over a million views by the following day. "I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else," Psaki said about the vice president.
"I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK?" she said of Usha Vance, who has been married to JD since 2014. The couple also has three children together.
"Please blink four times. We'll come over here. We'll save you," Psaki added, implying that a woman who made a vow to her husband is somehow now a hostage.
Psaki, who arguably held the highest job in her profession as Biden's mouthpiece, then went on to disparage JD Vance's ambition. "And that he's willing to do anything to get there. And your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he's scarier in certain ways in some ways," Psaki went on.
"And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he's a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him," Psaki added. This remark was more than just a one-off, as it appeared in the episode's tagline.
Although the hosts heartily agreed with Psaki, many other sane Americans did not like what she had to say about the vice president's wife. "Unhinged Jen Psaki is now smearing JD Vance, suggesting that his wife, Usha, wants to leave her husband and offers to 'save' her," the LibsofTikTok account posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.
"She also thinks JD Vance is 'scarier' than Donald Trump. @MSNBC should be ashamed to pay her salary," the post added and included the clip from the show.
Amy Curtis, a writer for Town Hall, similarly expressed outrage at Psaki's comments. "Also, this is an absolutely vile thing to say. Usha Vance is happily married," Crutis pointed out in her post to X.
"She made a vow to JD, and those words mean something. It’s also an insult to women who are in actual bad marriages," Curtis concluded.
These people on the left have no limits to their depravity and will attack anyone and everyone in Trump's orbit. What Psaki said was unconscionable, and she should apologize to the Vances and to the American people for such vile remarks.
