Vice President JD Vance had two choice words for racist troll Nick Fuentes and others like MSNBC host Jen Psaki, who have made revolting comments about the second lady: “Eat s–t.”
“Let me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s–t,” Vance told UnHerd in an interview published Sunday.
“That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.”
Fuentes, a 27-year-old, far-right white supremacist and Holocaust denier, called Vance a “race traitor” for being married to Usha Vance, the daughter of two Indian immigrants, and has used hateful terms to describe her.
“Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” Fuentes said after Vance was selected as President Trump’s running mate.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Psaki, who served as former President Joe Biden’s press secretary, commented in October that Usha needed to be rescued from Vance.
“I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of [Vance’s] wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you,” Psaki said during an appearance on the “I’ve Had It” podcast.
During the same interview, Vance strongly came out against antisemitism and all racism, drawing a hard line in the sand over what’s unacceptable on the right.
“Antisemitism and all forms of ethnic hatred have no place in the conservative movement,” he said. “Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white or because they’re black or because they’re Jewish, I think it’s disgusting.”
His comments were revealed just hours after the veep appeared on stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest and decried fellow conservatives for picking out names in their own party to publicly bash.
“President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeated purity tests,” Vance said Sunday.
“I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to deplatform,” he continued. “Let me just say the best way to honor Charlie is that none of us here should be doing something after Charlie’s death that he himself refused to do in life.”
The remarks appeared to be a nameless call-out of conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro, who had blasted right-wing pundits Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson — the latter of whom was just named StopAntisemitism’s 2025 Antisemite of the Year over his softball interview with Fuentes.
