Jen Psaki

Backlash hits Chris Wallace after he calls Jen Psaki 'one of the best press secretaries ever': 'You're a clown'

by Leave a Comment

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace is taking heat on social media after describing White House press secretary Jen Psaki as one of the best to ever hold the position.

What did Wallace say?

While speaking on Fox News Friday, Wallace praised network correspondent Peter Doocy and Psaki. The two have made headlines throughout the Biden administration for their often tense exchanges in the White House press briefing room.

Doocy and Psaki even clashed on Friday when Doocy grilled Psaki about President Joe Biden’s absence from the southern U.S. border amid the migrant crisis.

“Honestly, as somebody who’s spent six years in the White House, my immediate reaction was, ‘Those are two people at the top of their game. I think that [Doocy] has become the Sam Donaldson of this White House press corps. And since I was working in the press corps when Sam Donaldson was there, that’s a very grudging compliment on my part,” Wallace said.

“And Jen Psaki, I think, is one of the best press secretaries ever,” he continued. “I don’t know that anything was particularly accomplished, but they both gave and got pretty good.”


What was the reaction?

Reaction to Wallace’s complement of Psaki was mixed. Supporters of the Biden administration said they agreed with the declaration, but critics of the Biden administration condemned Wallace.

  • “TURN OFF FOX NEWS,” ACTforAmerica founder Brigitte Gabriel said.
  • “Chris Wallace called Jen Psaki one of the best press secretaries ever.
    And he’s 100% correct!” another person
    said.
  • “Today I learned that Chris Wallace has never seen a White House press briefing before today since he thinks Jen Psaki is the best Press Secretary he’s ever seen.
    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even activists posing as journalists, but that is a bold statement,” one person
    said.
  • “lol. all the magas are crying and hating on Chris Wallace because he called Jen Psaki one of the best press secretaries ever. He’s right and they know it. She handles the idiots like Doocy with ease,” another person said.
  • “Chris Wallace, @FoxNewsSunday, you’re a clown,” Sebastian Gorka said.
  • “According to Fox News Chris Wallace, Jen Psaki is one of the best press secretaries ever. I’m not surprised he said that. He’s a Democrat protecting his fellow Democrat,” another person said.

Wallace has also sparred with Psaki, grilling her in March over allegations the Biden administration was blocking media from documenting the border crisis.

Jen Psaki triggers swift mockery after reporter grills her about Biden's border visit: 'I thought this was satire'

by Leave a Comment

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was widely mocked Friday over her response to questions about President Joe Biden’s glaring absence from the southern United States border.

What happened?

During a CNN town hall on Thursday, Biden was asked why he has not visited the U.S. border, the site of an ongoing migrant crisis, as president. Biden said he has “been there before” and nonchalantly admitted, “I guess I should go down.” However, Biden blamed a busy schedule for not having made the trip nearly one year into his presidency.

At the White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy questioned Psaki about Biden’s comments. In response, Psaki explained that Biden briefly drove by the border while on the campaign trail — in 2008.

“Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?” Doocy asked.

“As you may have seen, there’s been reporting that he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008. And he is certainly familiar with the fact — and it stuck with him — with the fact that in El Paso, the border goes right through the center of town,” Psaki responded.

Psaki added that Biden “does not need a visit to the border to know what a mess was left by the last administration.”


What was the reaction?

Psaki was promptly blasted for her response, which came after Customs and Border Protection revealed there were more than 1.7 million immigrant encounters at the southern border in fiscal year 2021, the highest recorded figure in U.S. history.

  • “Gonna use this excuse next time my wife asks me if I went to the grocery store like she asked,” Ben Shapiro quipped.
  • “Psaki is disturbingly comfortable mouthing nonsensical spin and gaslighting like this, I’ll never understand how some are perfectly wired for the shamelessness that politics often requires of ppl,” Seth Mandel, editor of the Washington Examiner magazine, said.
  • “Jen Psaki would like you to know that Joe Biden maybe went to the border 13 years ago for a photo op and never went back.

    (That’s a thing of pride, apparently),” Bryan Dean Wright said.

  • “I drove by a hospital once in 2008…

    Now I know everything about it,” congressional candidate Graham Allen mocked.

  • “Too busy lying about Border Patrol whipping people, huh?” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said.
  • “Where did she get this talking point from – THE BABYLON BEE?!” Blaze host Sara Gonzales mocked.
  • “I thought this was satire lmao,” another person mocked.

According to a fact check conducted by the Washington Post, the visit that Psaki referred to was “a brief drive-by.” In fact, the Post described it as “almost like counting a refueling stop as a visit to a country.”

Charles Hurt: Democrat Nightmare: They Went to Bed with Obama, Woke Up with Biden

by Leave a Comment

On Wednesday, President Biden traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to sell his doomed “human infrastructure” bill, which smells more like an un-showered Green New Deal and quacks like another welfare boondoggle.

“The cost of the Build Back Better bill in terms of adding to the deficit is zero, zero, zero,” he lied, lied, lied. “Because we’re going to pay for it all.”

Well, yes, you better believe we are going to pay for it. Just not in the way Mr. Biden claims. This bill is “paid for” — just like every other dime of the $28 trillion in debt these dirty louts have racked up in your name over the past several decades.

While in Scranton, Mr. Biden ambled down memory lane. And ambled and ambled and ambled.

Old stuttering nicknames. Family lore. Uncles in the kitchen. Grandmas and laced doilies at the dining room table. All fairly incomprehensible. He did manage to invoke just about every person in his family whoever died — just because that is what Joe Biden does when his chips are down.

And he talked about how much he loves the federal government’s disastrous and irrelevant Amtrak rail system. Again, not exactly what you would call “confidence-inspiring” if you are trying to sell a federal “infrastructure” bill.

“I commuted every single day for 36 years as vice president of the United States after my wife and daughter were killed. I went home to see my family. Never stopped.”

Hoo boy.

To be fair, it was one of Joe Biden’s best speeches of his presidency. Certainly among his least dishonest. And definitely not plagiarized.

Thirty-six years as vice president. That is the same kind of enthusiastic math that gets you to “zero, zero, zero.”

As we have noted before, the Biden administration is an aging, faded rock band that lost its lead singer.

White House spokesgal Jen Psaki, and all the rest of them are lobotomized zombies left over from the Obama administration. They are lost, out of tune, popped guitar strings, searching for their swamp god.

This reminds me of a joke. What is worse than waking up in bed next to Willie Nelson?

Realizing it’s not Willie Nelson.

How exactly does this apply to the current political situation? Well, for all these wandering Obama zombies, they all went to bed with Barack Obama — only to wake up and realize they had actually spent the night with Joe Biden. And his diaper came loose in the bed.

So now they are fumbling around, desperate to reignite the old magic of Hope and Change.

Ms. Psaki steps to the White House press lectern — a gentle crowd if there ever was one — and tries out a few lines of comedy. Anything to get that old spark back.

She tries cracking funny about the tens of thousands of children who have been illegally smuggled across the Southern border under the Biden administration because, for some reason, she did not want to admit that the administration is flying the children all over the country “in the middle of the night.”

But don’t make a joke about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg taking two months’ paternity leave during the worst transportation crisis since Jimmy Carter’s gas lines!

Of the supply chain crisis, Ms. Psaki found more comedy material. In apparent mirth, she dismissed it as the “tragedy of the treadmill” — which is both unfunny and incomprehensible. At least she does an accurate job of capturing Joe Biden’s “thinking.”

Anyway, Ms. Psaki also dismissed the notion that the federal government is responsible for the collapsed supply chain.

“We are not the Postal Service,” she sniffed. Except, you are! Dimwit. And you run the post office about as brilliantly as you run Amtrak.

White House: Joe Biden Does Not Need to Visit Southern Border

by Leave a Comment

The White House argued Friday that Joe Biden did not need to visit the Southern border to address the ongoing migration crisis.

“He does not need a visit to the border to know what a mess was left by the last administration,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing.

Psaki responded to Biden’s claim during a CNN town hall on Thursday that he had visited the border during his political career but suggested he did not have the time as president to do so.

He said:

I’ve been there before, and I haven’t — I mean, I know it well.  I guess I should go down.  But the — but the whole point of it is: I haven’t had a whole hell of lot of time to get down. … But I plan on — now, my wife, Jill, has been down.

Psaki argued Biden has visited Mexico ten times  during his lengthy political career and was well aware of the issues at the border.

She also claimed there was “reporting” that Biden visited the border in 2008, despite zero evidence that he has ever been there.

“There’s been reporting that he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008,” Psaki said.

An NBC reporter noted that Biden came close to the border during a campaign trip to New Mexico but never made a border related stop.

Gavin Newsom to the Rescue: Signs Executive Order on Cargo Crisis

by Leave a Comment

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Wednesday that, he claims, will address the cargo crisis at Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, which saw a record 100 ships at anchor Tuesday and has caused a nationwide supply shock.

The White House immediately celebrated Newsom’s executive order with a laudatory tweet from press secretary Jen Psaki:

However, it is not clear what, if anything, Newsom’s executive order will do to address the crisis, which is a result of high demand for imports; a shortage of dock workers and truckers; and storage and logistical problems at the ports themselves.

In an aerial view, container ships are anchored by the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles as they wait to offload on September 20, 2021 near Los Angeles, California. Amid a record-high demand for imported goods and a shortage of shipping containers and truckers, the twin ports are currently seeing unprecedented congestion. On September 17, there were a record total of 147 ships, 95 of which were container ships, in the twin ports, which move about 40 percent of all cargo containers entering the U.S. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Newsom’s order directs state agencies to “identify additional ways to alleviate congestion at California ports”; to “continue coordinating with the Biden-Harris Administration Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force”; and to consider long-term plans for better storage, transportation, and skills training. It also directs state agencies to “identify priority freight routes to be considered for a temporary exemption to current gross vehicle limits to allow for trucks to carry additional goods.”

The text of the order also touts California’s past investments at the Port of Oakland and its plans for zero-emissions trucks.

The cargo crisis has been ongoing for months, with U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg convening a roundtable on port congestion in July — shortly before disappearing for an unannounced paternity leave in mid-August, which continues.
