Overview
- In an interview published by UnHerd, the vice president said “anyone who attacks my wife … can eat s–t,” explicitly naming Nick Fuentes and Jen Psaki.
- He stated that antisemitism and all forms of ethnic hatred have no place in the conservative movement.
- His remarks followed attacks from Fuentes, who called him a “race traitor” for marrying Usha Vance, the U.S.-born daughter of Indian immigrants.
- A few hours earlier at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, he praised President Trump for relegating DEI “to the dustbin of history” and framed the move as a return to meritocracy.
- He also urged conservatives to avoid “self-defeated purity tests” and public denouncements of allies within their coalition.
