AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta When you’ve been covering Congress, the White House, and the national political scene as long as I have, you encounter hypocrisy so often that after a while it hardly comes as a surprise.
But then former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki sat down at the Christian Science Monitor’s weekly breakfast and delivered what is surely a new low in hypocritical whining.
“The thing that has been hardest, personally, is I have had threats, I have had nasty letters, texts to me with my personal address, the names of my children. It crosses lines, you know, and that’s when it becomes a little scary. And that has been the most personally difficult aspect of this job,” Psaki told the breakfast scribes.
She continued, according to The Hill, “I recognize I am in many ways a public figure, people can like me, dislike me, that’s OK,” noting she considers that freedom of speech. “My kids are six and four and I worry about their safety.”
But don’t think Psaki has been taking these threats sitting down. Oh no, she is absolutely certain about who is responsible for the threats and she’s alerted the Feds: “There is a circulation of my address among the Arlington Republican Party.”
If there is a Dissimulation Hall of Fame, Psaki should be admitted immediately because she stands out, even in a town that attracts the kings and queens of duplicity in speech.
Consider the context:
Hundreds of far-Left demonstrators were clearly primed for action before the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade , written in February by Justice Samuel Alito and concurred in by four other conservative Justices, including Thomas, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.If the High Court finalized Alito’s draft, it would mean a landmark 5-4 decision overturning Roe and a return of […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
