Vance says Fuentes, Psaki can 'eat s--' for attacking second lady

Vice President JD Vance lashed out at white nationalist Nick Fuentes and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki for attacking Usha Vance, saying they can eat s. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s. Thats my official policy as vice president of the United States, Vance said in an interview published on Monday with the British outlet UnHerd.
Fuentes has used racial slurs to attack the second lady, who is Indian American, and has referred to the vice president as a race traitor for marrying her.
Psaki, who has her own show on MS NOW, joked in October that Usha Vance needs saving from her husband. I always wonder whats going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times, well come over here. Well save you, Psaki said.
The vice presidents comments come as the MAGA movement has been rocked by divides having to do with Fuentes over his antisemitic rhetoric.

He ain't seen nuthin' yet. Fuentes' father is 1/2 Mexican.
There are millions of previously "honorary whites" (as they are dubbed "in the 'hood), who are finding that they are no longer that. This country has been going through these cycles every 30 - 40 years since its founding (including when you had periods where many mixed black people were "passing for white" and "disappeared" into the gene pool - that was the whole point of Plessy v Ferguson).
Vance got up there this weekend bleating about "don't apologize for being white".
But since they never taught about the convoluted and contradictory system of "color", "ethnicity", and "white supremacy" that evolved in this country, and where they HAVE taught it, it is now being systematically erased, so history will keep repeating.

Apparently some (apparently mistakenly) regard it as an ethnic slur against South Asians. It's clearly not an attack. I guess.
I stand corrected and will promptly start calling South Asian Americans and South Asian immigrant by that glorious term of appreciation and admiration.
(No, no I won't. Just because it needs to be ignored and regarded as innocuous in order to say somebody is wrong doesn't make it any less offensive and insulting. Even if one does feel a need, apparently, to defend not just Psaki but also Fuentes.

(22,148 posts)I can truthfully say I have no memory of ever having heard that word until now, but I don't think I am likely to ever forget it. Distasteful as it is, I'm glad to have been made aware of it. It's useful to know about these things in order to avoid potential offense.
From the info my googling turned up, it seems clear that it is indeed a nasty slur. The website of Stop AAPI Hate, a U.S.-based coalition dedicated to fighting racism and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, calls it as "the most common anti-Asian slur in online extremist spaces," adding that it's "used to deride not just Hindus and Sikhs but South Asians in general."
I found the above info very informative. For anyone who would like to know more about this word and other anti-Asian slurs, I recommend the following article: https://stopaapihate.org/2025/09/11/keeping-count-lets-talk-about-anti-asian-slurs/

Hes gonna get all his white supremacist supporters mad at him. Good. And Psaki didnt say anything at all about race. Vance just made it into something about race.

And he is being true to form: these days, if a Republican actually has the nerve to criticize another conservative, they have to throw in a criticism of a liberal, too. What Jen Psaki said is nowhere near what Fuentes said.

(7,540 posts)A new low, that 'eat shit' comment.
He sounds desperate.
The existence of 'pure white' and by inference racially superior Americans is an abstract concept that isn't matched by reality.
The concept that America has been a mixing bowl of genetics from different parts of the world ever since a Pilgrim eyed off a native American female seems horrifying to some.
Wife's genes are 2% subSaharan African genes courtesy of a WW2 GI visiting the UK.

(3,279 posts)You mention your wife's genetic makeup.
I'm an old white guy, my DNA traces to Great Britain and Europe. On both sides of my family are Swiss.
-- My father's parents immigrated to the US from Switzerland in 1910.
-- My maternal G-g-g-g-grandparents came from Switzerland to South Carolina in 1740's (not certain of how many "greats" to add).
I know from the 1850 and 1860 slave censuses that my Swiss ancestors in SC were slave owners.
Good friend of mine is a Black guy from SC who traced his ancestry to enslaved generations. His DNA shows his ancestry is 30% SWISS!!!! We refer to each other as "cousin" because no doubt my SC Swiss grandfathers somewhere along the way crossed over the color line with one or more of their enslaved ladies.!!!!
Will there ever come a day when we recognize we are only one race and that's the human race???

Jen Psaki's comment was clearly a joke at JD's expense, not an attack on Usha.
