A Farewell to Psaki – Circling Back on Jen’s Greatest Hits – Opinion

Biden Administration Press Secretary Jen Psaki is out the door, leaving to take a job at—you guessed it—MSNBC. Hardly surprising because as we’ve said around here often, much of the mainstream press corps seems to be nothing more than an extension of the Democratic Party. She’ll be right at home at MSNBC, where not even Fox News’ Peter Doocy will be able to ask her tough questions.

We’re almost sorry to see her go, though, because her little head-tilt, condescending attitude, tendency to “circle back,” and smudging of the truth were must-watch TV. Particularly if you are a masochist.

We are certain that Karine Jean-Pierre, the replacement for Karine Jean-Pierre, will quickly win our hearts with a similarly inspiring performance.

For our farewell to Psaki, we’d thought we’d put together a few of her greatest hits. Although this isn’t a complete list it could take several months to compile. Readers, if you have other favorite examples, please don’t hesitate to post them in the Comments Section (link at the end of this article).

Let’s start with this gem. One reporter inquires about a Senate Finance Committee Report that described suspicious payments made by Hunter Biden. First Psaki claims there’s no evidence, then she says she’s not familiar with the report.

It is not even possible.

Next, let’s move on to the Afghanistan debacle, where “no Americans were stranded.” Except for the ones who were.

PSAKI: I think it is irresponsible for Americans to claim they are stuck. They’re not.

DOOCY: The White House has a statement that “There are not Americans stranded” regarding what is happening in Afghanistan at the moment. pic.twitter.com/0FEq5VkO6V

We’ll move on. Last fall, after Biden gave a dark, angry speech lambasting those who hadn’t gotten their shots, Psaki essentially claimed, “He didn’t say what you heard him say.”

GASLIGHTING Psaki claims she won’t call President Biden’s Covid speech from yesterday a lashing out at unvaccinated Americans and blame it for the current state the pandemic.

This is a lie, four Pinocchio’s, 👖 on 🔥, etc.

She THEN goes about doing…just that. pic.twitter.com/pAmAm78M42

After President Biden, in September, accused the Border Patrol of brandishing whips like brutal slaveowners against migrants, a claim that’s been thoroughly debunked, Psaki refused to admit the error, much less apologize.

Despite the entire story being debunked, Psaki says “our reaction to the [lies about Haitians being whipped by border agents] has not changed.”pic.twitter.com/CAHenzgMcT

Retail crime got you down, meantime? Tired of your neighborhood mall being ravaged by criminal gangs It’s not “defund the police” to blame, and it’s certainly not soft-on-crime policies and woke DAs who seemingly refuse to prosecute anything. No, silly, it’s COVID:

.@dagenmcdowell: “If you’re going to lie… at least make an effort because this isn’t even a good lie.”

Now back to the Border Patrol to whom she did not apologize. The administration actually considers them of “great value,” despite all the evidence indicating exactly the opposite.

Jen Psaki: “The role that Border Patrol agents play in ensuring security and safety at our borders is something that there’s great value for in this administration.”

You are lying. pic.twitter.com/2SPXkknoQB

Despite record inflation and Biden’s horrible energy policy, soaring gas prices are actually Putin’s fault, Psaki says here. Despite the fact that gas prices have risen dramatically, BeforeRussia invaded Ukraine.

More lies 😡

PSAKI: “The price of gasoline is rising because Putin has invaded Ukraine.” From Biden’s induction to the date Putin invaded, gas prices rose by $1.14 pic.twitter.com/agUyXrXIK3

The list could go on and on, but we leave you with the coup de grace, whereby Ms. Psaki essentially calls a network news reporter a “stupid sonofabitch.” That reporter, Fox News’ Peter Doocy, was seemingly the only White House correspondent who ever dared ask Psaki a tough question—but he always did so with respect. He was much less rude than Jim Acosta, who was a snob during Trump’s Administration.

The Press Secretary uses this term to refer to an American journalist. Jen, sorry but we are not sorry.
