Vice President JD Vance pulled no punches in a new interview with UnHerd released Sunday, torching both fringe provocateur Nick Fuentes and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki over past remarks targeting his wife, Usha.
Fuentes has repeatedly attacked Vance, branding him a “race traitor” and directing vile, racially charged insults at Usha including the use of an offensive slur targeting her Indian heritage—remarks that underscore Fuentes’ repugnant fixation on identity and race.
“Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” Fuentes said after Vance was selected as President Trump’s running mate.
Psaki wasn’t much better. She was already laying the groundwork for the Left’s 2028 narrative, taking aim at the VP, who is widely expected to be a future presidential contender. Psaki bizarrely claimed Vance is “scarier” than President Donald Trump—a laughable escalation given that Trump has already been branded “literally Hitler” by the Left for years. Apparently, every new Republican is somehow worse than the last “Hitler.”
This is the same tired playbook Democrats have relied on forever: smear the GOP nominee as evil, offer no serious policy solutions, and hope fear does the work for them. Psaki even implied that Usha Vance should be afraid of her own husband—stripping her of agency and reducing her to a political prop in the process.
Here’s the truly unhinged part: this wasn’t off-the-cuff. It was a calculated remark Psaki made back in October—one that says far more about the Left’s contempt for strong, independent women than it does about JD or Usha:
“I always wonder what is going on in the mind of his wife. Are you okay? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you,” she imagined, making up some kind of weird scenario about her.
Vance expressed at the time that he felt fortunate to have a loving and supportive wife by his side, and he was truly honored to share his life with her. But he did not mince words now during the UnHerd interview about Fuentes and Psaki’s attacks on his wife:
“Let me be clear,” he says. “Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s***. That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.”
This is how every wife wants her husband to respond to the haters. Good job JD ?? https://t.co/26yl3gsU84

Good and respectable policy. Defending your woman is what makes a man, a man. https://t.co/ifn0VyMk7C

At AmFest, Vance not only voiced his opposition to DEI but also emphasized the need for unity in order to defeat the Democrats in November, declaring that we were ready to “kick their a**.”

“The only thing that we demand is that you be a great American patriot. And if you’re that, you’re very much on our team,” Vance said.
