I can’t believe this, but I guess we should soak it all up because this will probably not happen again for a bit. The liberal media actually placed pressure on White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. It was a slew of issues. From COVID to Cuomo, Psaki was on her heels and it wasn’t just Fox News’ Peter Doocy doing all the work this time. Doocy shut down Psaki over the growing border crisis. Migrants testing positive for COVID are being released, placing border towns and localities at risk. The Fox News reporter noted that these migrants have an infection rate twice the national average. Psaki told Doocy he should refer to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection numbers, to which the reporter said these are their numbers. NBC News’ Peter Alexander commented that maybe this administration should credit Donald Trump for the COVID vaccines. We have three of them, thanks to Operation Warp Speed—a Trump initiative. Also, Alexander added that if the border is indeed closed, shouldn’t Biden be the one to make that declaration. Now, we know the border is not closed. Our own Julio Rosas is there right now, and it’s a mess.
Just spent three hours right on the U.S.-Mexico border and I’m still in shock at how many people illegally crossed during that time. I knew it was happening, but it’s different when you see it up close. Story to come on what I saw. I will say this is definitely a crisis.— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) March 13, 2021

Last, the Associated Press tossed another question that I’m sure also irked Psaki or at least made her want to run for the hills, which is what’s the White House’s position on whether New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should step down. These days in which liberal and conservative media unite to ask fairly simple and fair questions are rare. Enjoy. Newsbusters clipped the entertainment:
Peter Doocy: Illegal aliens are testing positive for COVID at twice the national average. How are you protecting citizens of border towns?
Psaki: I certainly would refer to CBP for the numbers.
Doocy: That's who gave us the numbers.

Doocy started with the border, noting that Psaki had said moments beforehand about leadership starting “at the top” and using that to note that “you're talking about leadership from Ambassador Jacobson and many others getting the word” out about the border being closed, but President Biden has been nowhere to be found.
Psaki bristled at that notion, lecturing Doocy about “we’re all about facts” inside the room and thus Doocy was wrong because of Biden gave an interview on February 26 to Univision and “would look for opportunities to continue to deliver that message clearly himself.”
Undeterred, Doocy shifted to COVID testing at the border and wanted to know what “the federal government is doing...to protect the citizens of a town like Brownsville, Texas” as, according to one batch of testing, there was a nine percent positive rate among illegal immigrants (and “more than double the national average”).
Psaki said she wasn’t “questioning the data,” but proceeded to do just that and offered word salad about health guidelines for border apprehensions. This led Doocy to point out they were guidelines and don’t really prevent someone from “go[ing] off to wherever.”
Later, Doocy pointed out that Biden “wants a majority of schools opened by his 100th day in office,” but all U.S. adults become eligible for the vaccine the very next day, so he asked: “[W]hy just the majority of schools as the goal instead of a specific, high percentage or, say, all schools.”
Doocy’s supporting cast arrived well before he got his turn. CBS News Radio’s Steve Portnoy grilled National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on illegal immigration citing Biden’s own words about border surges in 2014…
[…]
The Associated Press’s Jonathan Lemire led off Psaki’s Q&A with not one but two Cuomo questions on whether Biden “believe[s] the governor should resign” and then whether “the White House still [has] faith in Governor Cuomo if he remains in his position, overseeing the response to the pandemic in the state of New York.”
On both, Psaki took the easy way out, refusing to deviate one iota from her previous talking points, thus giving tacit public approval from the Biden administration for Cuomo to stay in office.
Psaki will be gone by mid-summer. There’s probably already a group trying to recruit the person. I doubt that the second person makes it to Christmas.
I agree. President Harris will want her own mouthpiece.
By the 4th of July, the biggest decision Senile Joe will be making is what pudding he wants with his lunch. That might be the biggest decision he’s making right now.
Nah.
Ginger Goebbels has no shame or self awareness. She was chosen for her loyalty to the party.
She’s not going anywhere.
Jen and Rosa have poison-tipped shoes. Jen "circles back" to kick reporters that ask real questions.
Kommie, who slept her way to the top, will not be running anything either. She too will be a figurehead for Soros, Obama and other Communists.
Demonrats............Truly the inmates are running the Asylum
WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for the Psaki drinking game not sure if I would take Truth or Facts, either way I am thinking big hangover.
They really really want Joe to last two years. Even with MSM and big tech propping him up I don’t see it, if he makes two years we could have Harris for ten. This is why the hit went out on Cuomo. Biden can still read a teleprompter that is what is keeping him alive.
A Psaki drinking is guaranteed death because you already have to be wasted to even watch her...
Wonder how long this will last?
Cuomo needs to be indicted for the COVID deaths in the Nursing homes, not sexual harassment.
So, After Cuomo leaves, then they'll start easing Joe off stage.
Psaki is Pstupid.
p
Peter Doocy has turned out to be the "Jim Acosta" of the Harris/Xiden administration.
Every time I read one of these "Reporter Hounds Jen Psaki Over ..." it ends up being Peter Doocy doing the hounding.
Because releasing infected people into the populace intentionally is evil and wrong. Where you do it, whether it's a nursing home or a small town in TX, is immaterial.
I heard that they're solving this crisis the same way Obama cured H1N1 - they stopped testing for it. No test, no cases, no virus.
She can’t even smile right. The ends of her mouth just don’t go up. Even sloJoe can get one side of his mouth to smile.
I don’t think Psaki will last as long as Biden. Granted, her job is to put lipstick on a pig, but she’s really bad at it. It’s getting to the point that even the leftist media is starting to tire of her.
Schumer told ABC’s The View: he warned Bungle Biden to clamp down on the invasive species flooding
the border, unleashed by a demented Biden. “I think it will get better in the next few months,” Schumer said.
(Better hurry it up. Bungle Biden created a free-for-all at the border ....dealers, cartels, trafficers, enforcers,
the entire panoply of the S/American drug apparat is strolling across the border without a care in the world.)
Chuck Schumer Warns Joe Biden on Border Policy: ‘You’ve Got to Do Better’
Democrats lost five Senate seats after voters punished them for Schumer’s 2013-14 “Gang of Eight” amnesty push.
The 2014 loss left Schumer in the minority during all four years of President Donald Trump’s tenure.
Her snarky little retort circled back and bit her in the azz.
I don't believe Obama is part of the cabal that is the real power behind the DNC. He would never be accepted by them. If anything, he too was a DNC stooge. But at least he could read from a teleprompter and didn't go off script like Dementia Joe. And he didn't have to steal the election to win.
