Right-wing influencer Nick Fuentes previously labeled the US vice president’s spouse a “jeet,” a racial slur for Indians
US Vice President J.D. Vance has hit back at slurs directed at his wife over her ethnic heritage as well as rumors about problems in their marriage.
Media reports earlier this year speculated about strains in the vice president’s relationship with his spouse, Usha Vance, after she was seen on several occasions without her wedding ring.
In an interview with Unherd published on Monday, Vance said “anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat shit. That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.”
“And my attitude towards anybody, again, who is calling for judging people based on their ethnic heritage, whether they’re Jewish or white or anything else, it’s disgusting. We shouldn’t be doing it,” he stressed.
Right-wing influencer Nick Fuentes previously slammed Vance’s appointment as vice president, calling him “a fat, race mixer who’s married to a jeet, who named his son Vivek.” A ‘jeet’ is a racial slur for Indians.
Jen Psaki, who served as the White House press secretary in the administration of US President Joe Biden, suggested there were issues in Vance’s marriage during her appearance on the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast in October. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mid of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you,” Psaki said.
Usha Vance, 39, with whom the vice president shares three children, is a graduate of the Yale Law School and previously worked as a lawyer.
Despite preferring to keep a low profile after becoming the second lady, she was forced to address ‘Ring-gate’ in an interview with USA Today earlier this month, saying: “I wear it [wedding ring] when I wear it, and I don’t when I don’t. Sometimes I’m wearing it and sometimes I’ve just been to the gym and showered and I’m not wearing it.”

“I’d rather just sort of live in my marriage and in the real world and less in kind of the fever dreams that surround it. So, I mean, it is kind of a family joke, but also not something that I spend very much time thinking about,” she stressed.
