MSNBC’s Jen Psaki jumped again into her previous function as White Home press secretary — at the least in spirit — to mock the present state of the White Home briefing room beneath President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“I’ve seen the White Home briefing room has taken a bit of a bizarro turn currently,” Psaki mentioned throughout her present Friday. “And I figured, what the hell, it’s a Friday evening. Why not mud off the cobwebs and subject a number of questions from the White Home press briefing room at this time? As a result of it’s been some time.”
Psaki then answered actual questions ― earlier than a backdrop of the White Home briefing room ― that reporters had posed that day however “with out the same old MAGA spin,” she mentioned.
One such query centered on why Trump’s White Home had determined to announce its commerce settlement with the UK earlier than all the small print had truly been fleshed out.
Psaki, who served as former President Joe Biden’s White Home press secretary from 2021 to 2022, pulled no punches together with her response.
“The announcement and the headlines it generates are just about the purpose,” she mentioned. “The small print are form of secondary. I imply, Trump will get to placed on a present within the Oval Workplace and fake like he’s achieved a monumental victory. The deal is only a little bit of an empty shell.”
