00:00Vance responds to comments made about his wife Usha.

00:04Vice President J.D. Vance addressed critics targeting his wife, Usha Vance, in an interview with UnHerd saying,

00:10Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Funtes, can eat S.

00:16That's my official policy as Vice President of the United States.

00:19His remarks quickly drew national attention and widespread media coverage.

00:24The comments coincided with renewed attention on online criticism of Usha Vance, who has largely stayed out of the public eye.

00:31Fringe podcaster Nick Funtes, known for inflammatory and anti-Semitic remarks, has repeatedly targeted her on social media,

00:38mocking her name, allegedly using ethnic slurs, and urging conservatives to keep the same energy

00:44when criticizing public figures like Vance and Vivak Ramaswamy over their backgrounds.

00:49Critics argue that Funtes' comments exemplify judging public figures by ethnicity rather than policy.

00:56Asked by UnHerd if he disavows Funtes, Vance replied,

00:59My attitude towards anybody calling for judging people based on their ethnic heritage,

01:04whether they're Jewish or white or anything else, it's disgusting.

01:08We shouldn't be doing it.

01:10Vance dismissed claims that Nick Funtes wields significant influence in conservative politics

01:14or the Trump administration, calling it overstated and a distraction from larger policy debates.

01:20He also criticized Jen Psaki for speculating about Usha Vance's private thoughts, including telling her,

01:26Are you okay?

01:27Please, blink four times.

01:29Come over here, we'll save you.

01:31Comments conservatives widely deemed inappropriate given her lack of a public political role.

01:36Usha Vance, a Yale-trained attorney, has largely stayed out of the public eye.

01:40Supporters argue criticism of her reflects a broader trend of targeting politicians' families,

01:46and Vance emphasized that, in his view, attacks on his wife are unacceptable, regardless of the source.
