New Delhi, Oct. 22 -- Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC host, faced sharp criticism on Tuesday after making mocking comments about Second Lady Usha Vance.

On the "I've Had It" podcast, Psaki suggested that Usha Vance might be intimidated by her husband, saying: "I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here, we'll save you."

She also described JD Vance as: "The little Manchurian candidate. He's scarier in certain ways in some ways. And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he's a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him."
