JD Vance has explicit two-word response to white nationalist Nick Fuentes after he made racist remarks about wife Usha
JD Vance has finally hit back at comments made about his wife by in recent months, telling both the white nationalist influence Nick Fuentes and Biden-era press secretary Jen Psaki exactly where they can go with an explicit two-word command.
The vice-president has faced mounting pressure to specifically rebuke Fuentes, after the Holocaust denier called him a 'race traitor' for marrying wife Usha, who was born in California to two Indian immigrants.
But speaking to UK publication UnHerd in an article published today (December 22), Vance broadened his fight back to include Democrat Psaki, who said on the I've Had It podcast in October: “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times, we’ll — come over here. We’ll save you.”
Vance was categorical in defending the second lady, telling critics to 'eat s**t'. He said: “Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s**t.

"That’s my official policy as vice-president of the United States,”
Fuentes, an avowed white nationalist and Hitler apologist, has been deriding Vance for marrying Usha since he was selected as President Trump's running mate, saying at the time: “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?”
Signalling on Monday that he does not support the anti-semitic ideology of Fuentes and his far-right 'groyper' followers, he said: “Antisemitism and all forms of ethnic hatred have no place in the conservative movement.
“Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white or because they’re Black or because they’re Jewish, I think it’s disgusting.”
Vance's comments came shortly after he appeared on stage at Turning Points USA's 'AmericaFest' to slam people in the MAGA movement for turning on conservative figures for not meeting their 'endless, self-defeating purity tests'.
Speaking at the event organized by the group now headed by Charlie Kirk's widow Erika, who appeared alongside rapper Nicki Minaj, the vice-president appeared to take aim at pundits who had called out big names in the movement.
This includes commentator Ben Shapiro, whose speech to the attendees slammed fellow conservatives Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.
Owens was last year named 'Antisemite of the Year' and spread conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk, while Carlson's recent interview with Fuentes saw him named 'Antisemite of the Year' 2025 by civil rights group StopAntisemitism.
But Vance did not appear to want to 'cancel' anyone, saying: “I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to deplatform.
“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.”
He also said: “When I say that I’m going to fight alongside of you, I mean all of you — each and every one.”
Vance also shared how the death of close ally Charlie Kirk had sent him on a dark spiral, with the vice president sitting up late at night reading conspiracy theories online, until the second lady voiced her concern.
He shared: "When my lovely wife Usha told me to come to bed I told her I owed it to Charlie to try to uncover every stone and so that's what I tried to do.
"It's the only time I can remember my wife ever telling me that she was really worried about me, she told me it many times."
