Jen Psaki called out after outrageous comments about JD, Usha Vance

Without hesitation, I can say that Jen Psaki was the second-worst press secretary we have had in modern times, only surpassed by Karine Jean-Pierre, who took over after Psaki moved on from the Biden administration.

She stood at the podium in the White House briefing room and lied every day, lobbing bombs at the Republicans and Trump, then whined when the favor was returned.

Now, after assassination attempts against Trump and the murder of Charlie Kirk, Psaki is ramping up the attacks against Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, in rather disgusting form.

Pouring it on

Psaki is now a talking head for MSNBC, where she continues to show us every day just how biased the mainstream media is in this country.

Her show is nothing more than an extension of her White House briefings, shilling for the Democrats while bashing Trump and Republicans on every possible issue.

After the White House changed its press access format under the second Trump administration, Psaki went off, stating, “They’re reshaping who’s in the White House briefing room -- and slowly, but surely, turning it into a version of state-run media actors. There are still hard-hitting, excellent journalists who are in that room.”

She continued, “They don’t get questions every day, and they’re splitting a growing amount of time with people who are raising their hands and asking about Donald Trump’s fitness routine -- or giving sycophantic speeches before they ask their version of a question.”

Not a joking matter

This week, Psaki took a cheap shot at Vice President JD Vance and his marriage, and her words were not well-received.

She stated, "I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else. 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.”

Psaki continued, "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. And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he's a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him."

There were quite a few who took issue with her framing, including those inside the Trump White House.

White House responds

White House venom-spewer-in-chief, Steven Cheung, led the response, stating, “Jen Psuki [sic] 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.” I have no idea if the misspelling of her name was an attempt at humor or if Cheung is just not capable of spelling currently (this is why I firmly believe he is the architect of most of Trump’s tweets that are littered with spelling errors).

Collin Rugg from Trending Politics also hit Psaki for the comments, posting, “His wife comes off incredibly happy -- Jen is a mean girl and thinks that makes her special. I've never seen Jen this happy.”

Libs of TikTok added, “Unhinged Jen Psaki is now smearing JD Vance, suggesting that his wife, Usha, wants to leave her husband and offers to ‘save’ her. She also thinks JD Vance is ‘scarier’ than Donald Trump. @MSNBC should be ashamed to pay her salary.”

I always find it rather ironic that Democrats say they fiercely advocate for women, yet they constantly belittle conservative females such as Usha Vance and Melania Trump. Their behavior is beyond hypocritical, but nobody on the left ever calls them out for it. Also, let's consider the other narrative here, in that Psaki has more or less accused Vance of working for a foreign power. I guess that assassination attempts on Trump and the actual killing of Kirk were not enough for Psaki, as she clearly seems intent on adding Vance to the list of victims of political violence.
