Jen Psaki Slammed for Cheering on Schools to Ignore Republican Governor, Parents Over Masks (VIDEO)

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was criticized Sunday on Twitter for cheering on schools that plan to ignore Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order allowing parents to decide whether or not their children wear masks in schools.

Psaki shared a video on Twitter of Youngkin responding to a question about the executive order after the Arlington Public School district said it would maintain a mask requirement for students and staff. Psaki reacted to the video, saying in part, “Thank you to @APSVirginia for standing up for our kids, teachers, and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant.”

Her comments drew the ire of many political commentators on Twitter.

Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, tweeted, “Jen, if for some reason you want to mask your children, you are still free to do so. This isn’t a ban on masks, this is a ban on *forced masking* of children against other parents’ wishes.”
