Vice President JD Vance is making it clear he has no patience for anyone targeting his family.
According to the New York Post, in a newly published interview, Vance delivered an unfiltered message to those who have publicly attacked his wife, Usha Vance, including far-right streamer Nick Fuentes and MSNBC host Jen Psaki.
“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 remarks released Sunday.
“That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.”
Vance’s comments came after months of insults directed at his wife from opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Fuentes, a fringe figure known for racist rhetoric and Holocaust denial, has repeatedly attacked Vance for marrying a woman of Indian descent.
“Who is this guy, really?” Fuentes said when Vance became President Donald Trump’s running mate. “Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?”
Psaki’s comments were less overt, but still drew backlash from conservatives. Appearing on the “I’ve Had It” podcast in October, she speculated that Usha needed saving from her husband.
“I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of [Vance’s] wife,” Psaki said. “Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you.”
In the same UnHerd interview, Vance also took aim at racism within conservative circles — including antisemitism — saying there is no place for it in the movement.
“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.”
The remarks surfaced just hours after Vance appeared onstage at AmericaFest, where he urged conservatives to stop tearing one another down in public battles.
“President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeated purity tests,” he said.
“I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to deplatform,” Vance continued. “Let me just say the best way to honor [assassinated Turning Point co-founder] Charlie [Kirk] is that none of us here should be doing something after Charlie’s death that he himself refused to do in life.”
Though he avoided naming specific targets at the event, Vance’s comments were widely viewed as a rebuke of conservative infighting — particularly after public clashes involving figures like Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens.
Still, his sharpest line this week was directed not at pundits, but at those taking aim at his family: a boundary he says is non-negotiable.
