President Joe Biden isn’t the only Washington elite having a pleasant summer week. As the Taliban seize control of Afghanistan, White House press secretary Jen Psaki has joined Biden in taking a vacation.
So if you are looking for answers about Afghanistan, don’t ask our president or press secretary. They are busy.
On Sunday, Fox News sent questions to Psaki’s White House email address and received an auto-reply, stating Psaki is not available for comment this week:
“I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd.”
Got that? Check back in on August 23.
We are not accusing Psaki of running as Afghanistan falls to the Taliban. Her vacation was likely pre-planned. However, to go on the trip, amid an international crisis of this consequence, is questionable.
The situation in Afghanistan worsened over the weekend and was well on its way to disaster at the end of last week, when Psaki was still “in office.” By at least Friday, Psaki could’ve projected the Taliban’s path for the weekend. Yet she still took off for vacation. Everyday employees have canceled trips for far less than their boss’ own version of Saigon.
Though, if Saigon on Steroids isn’t severe enough for Biden to cut his getaway short, why should Psaki?
(Update: Biden will cut his vacation short and return to the White House for an address on Afghanistan.)
Psaki and Biden are accustomed to friendly coverage from the press. Unbeknownst to Biden — though not Psaki — the White House is no longer playing with house money. At least as it concerns Afghanistan, the press does not have Biden’s back. Nearly all of the mainstream news programs on Sunday morning condemned Biden’s handling of Afghanistan and called for his response. CNN and MSNBC have shared that same negative energy thus far on Monday.
When Psaki returns next week, she will be subjected to unfavorable questions from more than just Peter Doocy, perhaps for the first time in her career.
By the way, I wonder what kind of vacation Psaki took? Camping, RV road trip, or beach-front?
This broad is about as cheap and sleazy as they come and I don’t need to circle back wtf
“I will be not be spouting lies that will soon be easily exposed, from August 15th-August 22nd.”
Can you imagine the conversation in the briefing room lounge. You go out there. No, not me, you go out there. No way, I ain’t going out there. Briefing cancelled.
Madame Psaki is a coward. Ol’ Gropey is a moron. I look forward to Nappin’ Joe’s performance later today. The good news for Biden voters. Tomorrow morning, you will be smarter. The following day you will be even smarter yet. There is no way, you could be more stupid than the day you voted for Ol Gropey Joe. An observation: The village idiot can not be elected without the gaggle of village morons. America Matters.
Hopefully, the ugliest woman on television got a facelift on her time off.
This…she didn’t need to cancel her vacation, the American people needed a week off from seeing this ugly bitch on TV.
If you discount the massively overblown SJW stuff that only appeals to a majority of Twitter users, this administration has failed at EVERYTHING. It’s only going to get worse.
There is no bottom to the the Biden Shit Show. I predict Biden will declare this afternoon his experts were prepared for every contingency , and it is Trump’s fault anyway. I don’t think anyone but the most brain dead with buy it, but that’s my expectation from this serial liar. America Matters.
Yep, Biden will blame Trump. Or DeSantis, lol. And stupid Democrats will believe it.
Psaki it at the Terminator factory for a programming update. The endless lies have overloaded her circuits
I now understand why the phrase “ginger’s have no soul” is a thing. It might actually be true.
