Jen Psaki reminds reporters the 'commentator'-in-chief was the last guy




from American Independent:

During the daily briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki reminded reporters that President Joe Biden was not elected to offer up daily political commentary, nor would he be doing so:

from the WH press briefing:

REPORTER: How should the American public interpret the president's silence on this. Is he not invested in the outcome of this trial? Or is he?

JEN PSAKI: The American public should read it as his commitment to delivering on exactly what they elected him to do, which is not to be a commentator on the daily developments of an impeachment trial, but to push forward an American Rescue Plan that will ensure people are back to work, get the assistance they need, get shots in arms, reopen schools.

That's what they asked him to do and that's what he's focused on doing every day.

What with being honest repeatedly and staying reasonable, I don't think she will be able to get a job on Fox after this. She needs to think of her future career. No horribly evil shill is going to want to hire her.

It’s going to take them a while to figure out what a real President acts like.

she has the benefit of good, sound material to work with. Laser focused on doing the job and not getting caught up in politics or drama. So wonderful to see and experience after the 4 year nightmare.
