Vice President JD Vance has issued a sharp rebuke of former White House press secretary Jen Psaki for her recent remarks about his wife, Usha Vance. During a press briefing, Psaki had described Usha as ‘afraid of her husband,’ a comment that Vance immediately denounced as ‘disgraceful.’
In a statement, Vance highlighted the importance of allowing family members to speak for themselves, stating, ‘The second lady can speak for herself.’ This response underscores the broader tension between public discourse and personal privacy, particularly when family members are involved in political controversies.
Vance’s criticism of Psaki’s remarks reflects his broader approach to handling media scrutiny and family matters. The incident has sparked discussions about the boundaries of press commentary and the potential consequences of making personal judgments about political figures’ private lives. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the administration will navigate the fallout from this controversial exchange.
