JD Vance goes nuclear on ‘disgusting’ attacks against wife Usha with a blistering warning
Vice President JD Vance has a harsh two-word response to those who have insulted his wife Usha since taking office: ‘Eat shit.’
‘Let me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can get fucked,” Vance said. Escape the Herdrefers to the conservative provocateur and former press secretary for the Biden administration.
‘This is my official policy as vice president of the United States.’
Vance’s harsh words come as the vice president has faced allegations this year that his marriage is on the rocks, including Usha being seen without her wedding ring on official trips.
He specifically singled out Fuentes for his repeated insults towards the Second Lady, including branding her ‘Jeet’, insulting her Indian heritage.
When Vance was named Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, Fuentes also asked the question: ‘Who really is this guy?’ ‘Do we really expect the man who has an Indian wife and names his children Vivek to support white identity?’
Vance faces calls to distance himself from influencermiddle Speculation that he is planning a 2028 presidential run, Although Fuentes has said in the past that he “loves Hitler” and believes the Holocaust is “exaggerated,” he appeals to a wide audience.
In an interview this week, Vance harshly rebuked Fuentes’ anti-Semitic stance, saying ‘anti-Semitism and ethnic hatred of any kind has no place in the conservative movement.’
“If you’re attacking someone because they’re white, or because they’re black, or because they’re Jewish, I think that’s disgusting,” Vance continued.
Vice President J.D. Vance has faced mounting pressure to come out in support of his wife, Usha (who they were seen with in November), as the Second Lady comes under attack from conservative provocateur Nick Fuentes.
Fuentes used the slur ‘Jeet’ to attack Usha Vance, and Vance responded with a harsh two-word response: ‘Eat shit.’
Vance’s remarks also pointed to Psaki, following the former Biden administration press secretary’s comments about Usha on the I’ve Had It podcast in October.
Psaki noted reports that the Second Couple’s marriage was on the rocks, including Usha being seen without her wedding ring several times, and suggested she should be saved from the vice president.
‘I always wonder what’s going through your mind [Vance’s] spouse. For example, are you okay? Please blink four times. Come here. We’re going to save you,’ Psaki said.
Vance’s comments to UnHerd were published just hours after Erika Kirk took the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event, where she surprised some with an early endorsement of Vance’s 2028 presidential hopes.
But Fuentes’ status as a highly divisive MAGA leader was an inevitable topic at the conference, and his controversial followers dragged the event into chaotic infighting.
Prominent conservative voices, especially Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro, offered vitriol in their speeches after Carlson hosted Fuentes on his show in October.
Shapiro collectively accused Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Steve Bannon of being “con artists” and “con artists.” In addition to Shapiro, Kelly and Bannon were also notable at the event, as were several other prominent conservatives.

Is political discourse becoming more personal and ugly?
‘Let me be clear. “Whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, anyone who attacks my wife can get fucked,” Vance said in an interview this week.
Fuentes has emerged as a source of controversy in the MAGA movement in recent months; this includes a widely scrutinized interview with Tucker Carlson in October.
Fuentes has been condemned in the past for a number of inflammatory and anti-Semitic statements, including saying he “loved Hitler” and believed the Holocaust was “exaggerated.”
Shapiro warned that ‘the conservative movement is in serious danger’ thanks to these conservative charlatans who ‘claim to speak for principle but actually traffic in conspiracies and fraud’.
Referring to Carlson, he said: ‘If you host a Hitler-apologizing, Nazi-loving, anti-American scumbag like Nick Fuentes… the person who said he was, to quote Charlie Kirk, “an idiot”… you’ve got to own that.’
‘There’s a reason Charlie Kirk belittled Nick Fuentes and even scolded Dinesh D’Souza for arguing with him.’
Carlson responded with barbs of his own from the same stage.
“This guy is arrogant,” Carlson began, changing Shapiro’s serious tone.
He said he “laughed” as he watched snippets of Shapiro’s speech backstage.
‘Call to de-platform at Charlie Kirk event? ‘This is so funny.’
Ben Shapiro criticized Tucker Carlson at the AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday for a hostile start to the event
Carlson responded with his own sarcastic remarks and derailed the event
Carlson also assured the crowd after hosting Fuentes that he was not anti-Semitic.
‘Anti-Semitism is not only mischievous, it is also immoral,’ he announced.
He also complained about cancel culture and said, ‘I have the right to question your motives. Actually why can’t you answer the question? Why do you have to imply that a college kid is some kind of Hitlerite or something for asking about an event? Like what?’
Carlson argued: ‘It’s okay to ask questions. I thought that was the only reason we were against the left. They won’t force you to go out there and make ritual denunciations.
‘Because this is not my religion. “This is politics.”
