Psaki uses ‘crisis' to describe situation at the border, then walks it back
Fox News ^ | 3/18/21 | Brooke Singman

White House press secretary Jen Psaki used the phrase "crisis on the border" during the briefing on Thursday -- a notable choice of words after the administration has avoided describing the situation that way.

She later seemed to walk it back when reporters asked if her phrasing was indicative of a change in how the White House viewed the situation. She reverted back to using the phrase "challenges at the border" and maintained there is no change in administration messaging.

During the White House press briefing Thursday, Psaki was asked about lending doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Mexico and Canada.

"I can confirm that we have 7 million releasable doses available of AstraZeneca," Psaki said, adding that "2.5 million of those, we are working to finalize plans to lend those to Mexico and 1.5 million to Canada."

During a back-and-forth about vaccine doses, Psaki said that there have been "expectations set outside of, unrelated to any vaccine doses or requests for them, that they would be partners in dealing with the crisis at the border.

"And there have been many requests unrelated that they, for doses of these vaccines…every relationship has multiple layers," Psaki said, adding that there "is rarely just one issue" when working with other countries. "Certainly that’s not the case with Mexico or any country around the world."

Psaki was then asked whether she meant to call it a "crisis at the border."

When asked whether her comments reflected shift in administration messaging regarding the situation at the border, she said: "Nope."

So called Freudian slip. When the truth is suppressed sometimes it gets blurted out anyway.

The “investments” the government demands are taxes.
The price adjusting means you pay more because the price is going up.
The undocumented is an illegal alien.
Clothing optional means a nudist beach.
Non optimal weight issue means you have a problem because you are too fat.

And the hordes of fighting, grasping young men demanding entrance to the US and quick access to our system of welfare and other free money are part of a CRISIS.

Joe was just wondering which On the Border restaurant is having the crisis Psaki was talking about. The food is usually pretty good there. C’mon man!

Maybe Psaki can circle back later.

Blinky, unbelieving expression gif for Biden....

“Wait a minute now. You mean Kamala is not really the President? And I am? Since when? I thought Obama is President.”

Amateur hour in the White House, they don’t care what people think.

This may be government by idiots or people who don’t think they can lose.

Both is more than likely true.

Psaki is pretty bad as a press secretary, but she does not have much to work with with the democrats and their antics.

The Biden’s are seated together at a nice restaurant and the waiter comes over to take their orders:

He says to Mrs. Biden, “Good evening Dr. Biden. Have you decided on an entrée?”

Yes,” she replies. “I’’ll have the New York strip, medium rare.

”Very good,” says the waiter. “And for the vegetable?”

She answers, “Oh! He’’ll have the same.

Jen Psaki, poor little parasite. Maybe people can take her seriously if she wins the part in a potential reboot of Pippi Longstocking.

Psaki may not realize it, but she just crossed the Rubicon.

INSTEAD OF REPORTING ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER CRISIS, SHE JUST BECAME PART OF IT.

It’s not a crisis. It’s the plan.

One of the greatest examples of a total waste of human sperm.

I love it. There is a shortage of vaccine here in the States and Dementia Joe and the Ho are giving vaccine away to other nations before giving it to their own citizens who may want it.

You know, if I could work from home (like I did for 17 years) I wouldn’t worry about vaccine. But I work for FedEx now and have to deliver a lot of bullshit to people who work out of their homes :)
