Press Pass: Psaki Changes Topics When Asked About China During WH Briefing

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki abruptly changed the subject Friday when asked about President Joe Biden’s lack of pressure on China to be transparent about the origins of COVID-19 —instead offering an update on a recent spate of organized looting in California.

“It’s been more than two weeks since President Biden had a call with [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping],” Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy began during the regular briefing, “and on that call, we know that he did not press him to help with the COVID origins investigation because you said that Xi just understands he’s supposed to be transparent.

“So in the two-plus weeks since, has he helped and been transparent?” Doocy asked.

“I don’t believe that’s exactly what I said,” Psaki responded. “I believe what I said is that we have pressed for this repeatedly, we will continue to and we’ll continue to do that at a range of levels. I don’t unfortunately have any updates on the participation or willingness of the Chinese to add and provide additional data.”

At that point, Psaki turned to Biden administration efforts to address smash-and-grab looting by large groups of people, which has particularly impacted Los Angeles and San Francisco. (Read more from “Press Pass: Psaki Changes Topics When Asked About China During WH Briefing” HERE)

WH Dodges When Asked if Biden Should Still Be President After Presiding Over More COVID Deaths Than Trump (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question on Wednesday about whether or not it is acceptable for a president to stay in office after overseeing a copious amount of U.S. deaths from the Chinese coronavirus.

As Breitbart News reported last week, the U.S. death toll from the Chinese coronavirus under Biden’s administration will soon surpass the death toll recorded during Trump’s administration, and in less time.

Additionally, during an October 2020 presidential debate between Biden and Trump, Biden insisted that “anyone who’s responsible for that many deaths” — which at the time was at around 220,000 — “should not remain as President of the United States of America.”

When asked by Fox News’s Peter Doocy if that is “still the standard now that more Americans have died under President Biden than President Trump,” Psaki outright dodged the question.

Fully Vaccinated WH Press Secretary Tests Positive for COVID-19

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday that she had tested positive for COVID-19, days after pulling out of the president’s overseas trip due to a family emergency. Psaki is vaccinated, and said she is only experiencing mild symptons.

Psaki said in a statement on Sunday that emergency was “members of my household testing positive for COVID-19.”

“Since then, I have quarantined and tested negative (via PCR) for COVID on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,” Psaki said. “However, today, I tested positive for COVID. While I have not had close contact in person with the president or senior members of the White House staff since Wednesday — and tested negative for four days after that last contact — I am disclosing today’s positive test out of an abundance of transparency. I last saw the president on Tuesday, when we sat outside more than six feet apart, and wore masks.” (Read more from “Fully Vaccinated WH Press Secretary Tests Positive for COVID-19” HERE)

Psaki’s Fresh Lie About Biden Throws President’s Media Aversion Into the Spotlight (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Monday that President Joe Biden’s administration always worked to get the press “more access,” but their actions have told a different story.

Psaki, addressing a question about press access when President Biden meets with Pope Francis at the Vatican, claimed that Biden’s ability to take questions on foreign trips often depended on the rules set forth by the host country.

“Often, it is the conditions or the – of what that country or what that entity proposes, and we always work for more access, we always fight for more access as we travel around the world,” Psaki said.

But in practice, the Biden administration — and the president himself — appears to avoid the press at every turn.

And the trend has been going on for months. When Biden has given public statements, he has often walked away without taking any questions.

WATCH: WH Defends Invasive Dem Proposal for IRS to Spy on Bank Accounts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended the Democrat proposal, tucked into President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better spending plan, that would allow the IRS to monitor all bank transactions of $600 or more. She also claimed the “loudest” opposition to more IRS funding for snooping is from big banks, not small business owners or individuals worried about taxpayer rights.

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed the proposal is still on the table and that Democrats plan to keep it in Biden’s monstrous spending plan.

Republicans have been pushing back on the proposal and reminding the IRS that banks don’t work for them. (Read more from “WH Defends Invasive Dem Proposal for IRS to Spy on Bank Accounts” HERE)

Psaki Pressed by Reporter: ‘Who’s in Charge?’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

While the House prepares to vote on the bipartisan Senate-passed infrastructure bill, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was pushed on whether President Biden is in charge of negotiations as progressives and moderate Democrats continue to battle.

During Thursday’s daily press briefing, Psaki was asked if Biden has “at all lost control of his party…[because] some people say that it appears that progressives are running the show, they’re banding together and making their commands. Other people are saying looks like Joe Manchin is playing president — so who is in charge?”

“Well, this is how democracy works,” Psaki said, before resorting to slamming the previous administration. “I know it feels foreign because there wasn’t much that happened over the last couple of years, but how it works is the American people elect their elected officials, the President of the United States puts forward a bold and ambitious proposal, and then everybody negotiates about it.”

“They have different points of view, that’s how democracy should work. We’re in the midst of it right now,” she continued. “We’re not trying to paint over how messy it looks from the outside, we know that. But what the good news is, is that there is agreement that among most Democrats — if not every single one of them — that we need to get something done.”

“Now we’re in the nitty gritty details which is very important, but that’s the end stage of this process,” she later added. “And the American people should know that that’s what the president’s working on.” (Read more from “Psaki Pressed by Reporter: ‘Who’s in Charge?’” HERE)

WATCH: Psaki’s Latest Lie Sums up Team Biden’s Upside-Down Approach to Immigration, Vaccines

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even for the Biden White House, Jen Psaki’s latest whopper stands out: The press secretary actually said that the vast tide of migrants crossing the southern border is “not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.”

Hmm: Most of them have traveled over a thousand miles from south of Mexico — often enduring privation, violence and even rape along the way — to get to the United States. But it’s not in hopes of a better life here? . . .

Plus, Psaki offered this bunk as she tried to avoid the gaping contradiction on vaccination rules. Team Biden just announced that it will start letting vaccinated travelers from dozens of nations finally visit America again (come November), while still denying entry to the un-jabbed.

But the administration is not demanding vaccinations for the countless illegal border-crossers that it’s allowing in. Why? Because “it’s not the same thing,” explained Psaki, before moving on to her “not intending to stay” lie.

Turns Out Psaki Was Wrong About Vetted Afghans. Two Were Just Indicted.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three weeks ago White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reassured Americans Afghan refugees, who were sloppily and chaotically put onto flights out of the country while interpreters with special immigrant visa holders were left behind, were fully and properly vetted.

“I can absolutely assure you that no one is coming into the United States of America who has not been through a thorough screening and background check process,” Psaki said during the daily briefing on September 1. “There are many individuals who have not gone through that process and they have gone to lily pad countries as that process has been completed. It doesn’t mean there is a flag, it means they haven’t completed their paperwork.”

But yesterday, two Afghan men were indicted on a series of federal charges, including domestic violence and sex with a minor.

“In unrelated cases, two individuals have been charged with crimes while at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Bahrullah Noori, 20, is charged with attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor using force against that person, and with three counts of engaging in a sexual act with a minor, with one count alleging the use of force. The indictment alleges that that the victims had not attained the age of 16 years and were at least four years younger than the defendant,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin released Wednesday evening. “Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32, is charged with assaulting his spouse by strangling and suffocating her. The indictment alleges that the assault occurred on September 7, 2021.” (Read more from “Turns Out Psaki Was Wrong About Vetted Afghans. Two Were Just Indicted.” HERE)

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated that the fact that “some people may not have decided to depart Afghanistan yet” is one reason for the “broad range” of numbers of Americans still in Afghanistan.

Psaki ‘Not Aware of Plans’ for Joe Biden to Attend Hunter’s Pricey Art Show

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that she’s “not aware” of any plans for President Biden and first lady Jill Biden to attend an upcoming New York gallery event with potential buyers of his son Hunter Biden’s artworks.

The first son is asking as much as $500,000 for his novice pieces, which ethics experts say are inflated prices based on his dad’s official position.

“I’m not aware of plans for them to attend,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing.

The question came from New York Times reporter Zolan Kanno-Youngs, who noted that the gallerist “tasked with ensuring the buyers of Hunter Biden’s artwork remain anonymous — he said that Hunter will be attending his opening next month and said that friends and family will be attending as well.”

Hunter Biden often is accused of profiting from his father’s official roles, including while he was vice president. (Read more from “Psaki ‘Not Aware of Plans’ for Joe Biden to Attend Hunter’s Pricey Art Show” HERE)
