A top White House official under the Donald Trump administration has outrightly lambasted ex-WH press secretary Jen Psaki for her recent claims about US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha.

Taking to his official X profile, Steven Cheung, who is the assistant to the POTUS and the White House Director of Communications, resorted to downright expletive-laden language while calling out the former official who served under both Obama and Biden administrations.

“Jen Psuki must be transferring her own personal issues onto others,” he tweeted, while misspelling her. “@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.”

Why are Usha Vance and Jen Psaki trending?

Psaki recently came under fire for controversial admissions during a podcast appearance. On an episode of the ‘I’ve Had It’ series released Tuesday (US time), she insinuated that Usha Vance wasn’t doing okay in her marriage with the American vice president. Without actually dropping the word, the former press secretary suggested that the Indian-origin lawyer and Second Lady was possibly looking for a divorce.

“I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” Jen Psaki said of Usha Vance. “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we’ll save you.”

During the same episode, Psaki also went on to push the inflammatory idea that JD Vance had his eyes locked on the presidential seat. “Little Manchurian candidate JD Vance wants to be president more than anything else,” she said, adding that was willing to do whatever it takes to “get there.” The Biden era press secretary even described the VP as “a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.”

Calling Vance “scarier in certain ways,” Psaki still maintained that due to lacking “rizz” he wouldn’t be able to mobilise the “whole movement” like Trump does.

The far-left and MAGA camp consequently dragged Psaki, who now hosts the MSNBC show ‘The Briefing with Jen Psaki,’ for her comments, just as Steven Cheung did.

Conservative page The Libs of TikTok wrote on X, “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.”

Someone else fumed at Psaki’s insinuations, and chimed in, “For the party that supposedly champions feminism, they sure talk down to women on the other side.”
