Vice President JD Vance has the same unpleasant view of racist activist Nick Fuentes and MSNBC host Jen Psaki, when it comes to what they have said about his wife, Usha Vance.

“Let me be clear, anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat shit,” Vance told British political site UnHerd for Monday’s edition. “That is my official policy as vice president of the United States.”

During the 2024 presidential race, Fuentes weighed in on Vance and his wife, whose parents moved from India to the United States in the 1970s. “Who is this guy, really?” Fuentes said. “Do we really expect the man who has an Indian wife and named his son Vivek to support white identity?”

Psaki, who was former President Joe Biden’s press secretary, did not actually attack Usha Vance, but she did comment wryly on her marriage and the vice president’s attractiveness.

“I always wonder what’s going on in his mind. [Vance’s] wife. Are you OK? Blinks four times. Come here. We’ll save you,” Psaki said on the “I’ve Had It” podcast in October. Vance called the comment “shameful.”

Vance himself was later criticized for saying that he hoped his wife, who is Hindu, would one day share his Christian views. An appearance by Usha Vance without her wedding ring also set tongues wagging shortly afterward.

On Sunday, Vance attempted to tiptoe diplomatically over whether Fuentes and other extremists should be accepted in conservative circles.

“When I say I’m going to fight alongside you, I mean all of you, each and every one,” the vice president said at the annual Turning Point USA conference. “President Trump did not build the greatest political coalition by subjecting his followers to endless and counterproductive purity tests.”
