Jen Psaki Explains No Covid Questions at Joe Biden Press Conference: Because Hes Been So GoodBy Tommy ChristopherMar 26th, 2021, 7:41 am
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki offered an explanation for the much-criticized lack of COVID-19 questions at President Joe Bidens first formal press conference: because he and the administration have been so good about delivering information on the pandemic.
During Thursday nights edition of MSNBCs The Last Word, Psaki spoke at length with host Lawrence ODonnell about a number of issues, including President Bidens new goal of 200 million vaccinations in the administrations first 100 days. ODonnell wrapped up the interview by asking about the press conference.
We all watched you during the press conference, we know youre anticipating the questions, we know you prepped for the questions, ODonnell said, and asked, What question did you prep for that you were sitting there waiting for, and you did not get?
You know, I was surprised there wasnt a question about gun legislation or gun safety earlier in the press conference, and also that there wasnt more questions about Covid, given it is the number one issue that is on the minds of Americans, Psaki replied. The pandemic, what were doing to address it, how we can address it.
She then offered that Maybe its because we have the president out there, and we talk about it so much, but I was surprised there wasnt more about that topic earlier in the press conference.

They keep trying to compare him to tRump. As far as I am concerned, the more he is different than tRump the better. "Are you running again? At this point in his Presidency tRump had already set up a re-election committee" He set it up the day after inauguration which was ridiculous. Did they really ask him why he didn't do something as ridiculous as tRump?

like a group of 4 year olds playing soccer... they basically all chase the ball.
Repukes are very good at putting shiny paint on their turd colored balls... i.e "border crises"
Democrats come along and quietly pick up the really shiny balls like Covid.
