Psaki: Well we don’t use the Russian government as our guide to human rights models in the world

[MyOwnPeace]

1. Seems to be a fair question.......

After all, Vlad and Donnie have a lot of comrades that are in trouble for their part of the January 6 Insurrection. How nice of them to be concerned about them.......

[Boydog]

2. She is Presidential material.

I can’t think of anyone who ran for president this time who has any better grasp of the issues and facts that pertain to them.

[Martin68]

29. No, she is very adept at explaining the administration's views and fending of partisan attacks.

That does not make her "presidential material." Who knows, down the road, with more political experience under her belt and success in a a position or two where she is involved in policy decisions she might be ready for the job. All of her experience so far has been related to communication, and she has been very successful in that capacity.

3. The link is pooched. What corker from Fox's Ducey was she responding to??

[EYESORE 9001]

6. Video didn't say who it was

I couldn’t pick out or name an individual from that hateful brood if my life depended on it. This was a female, brunette, bob cut hair, if that helps.

[marble falls]

8. Psaki's response put someone in his/her place as the dumbest one in the room. That's enough for me!

[EYESORE 9001]

10. It was a thing of beauty

Jen Psaki has an astonishing capacity for providing a smart, concise answer almost instantaneously. Her wit and witticisms are very understated and cut like surgical instruments.
😍

[marble falls]

11. It always is! I like the fact she lands them wihtout spiking them. She makes it look easy.

[RVN VET71]

19. Sadly, it wasn't little Dicey, but a woman.

And she seemed to be at least half smiling when she posed the question, almost like she was waiting for Jen’s quick and incisive answer. At least I hope she was waiting for it, because that’s what she got.

Psaki is not just good at what she does. She’s spectacular. She’ll be possibly the toughest act to follow in this Administration. I think of the tools that Trump brought in and can only laugh at the contrast.

I’d like to see her pick up a spot on Fox after she steps down. Kidding, of course. She wouldn’t consider it and Murdoch would never hire such a highly intelligent, attractive, and extraordinarily well informed woman. But it would be pure pleasure watching her on a panel with Hannity, Tucker Swanson, and Pirro. I don’t normally like scenes of evisceration, but I think Psaki would do it with such expertise that her artistry alone would make the bloodshed palatable even to my weak, liberal, snowflake sensibilities.

22. She's got what it takes. She's Kieth Olberman with better people skills.

[RVN VET71]

26. Right on! K.O. is great but seems to grate on the people who hire and pay him.

I hate to see how he hurts himself and loses quality TV time because he just can’t seem to not piss people off. His voice is -- and has always been -- badly needed.

[SoonerPride]

4. "As opposed to the previous Putin lapdog lickspittle fucking traitor"

she thought to herself....

[msfiddlestix]

5. Well done Jen!

whoot! whoot!

[Tommy Carcetti]

7. There's no loss between Jen and the Russian government.

Kremlin trolls targeted her pretty heavily when she was the press secretary for SOS John Kerry, especially during the Russian invasion of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.

[DFW]

9. The Biden administration could put out an ad

"Will pay $5 million for someone who can do the job of press secretary better than Jen Psaki."

I'm betting there would be few willing to try, and none who qualify.

[dalton99a]

12. +1. She is outstanding.

[yaesu]

13. Its obvious that russia was entirely feeding talking points to the repuke party & tRump

and the GOP is an arm of putins destructive agenda.

[tblue37]

14. Deafie here: could you tell me what the question was, please?

[Nittersing]

21. Very short version

reporter stated that Russia wants to talk about human rights violations in the US, particularly those who were involved with Jan 6...

[tblue37]

28. Thanks!

[GB_RN]

15. Damn, She's Good!

I hate she's leaving next year...

[ShazzieB]

16. What I feel like saying every time she lands one of these...

[Paladin]

17. Suck on THAT, Tucker Carlson! (nt)

[Half-step]

18. So weird...

At least the Russians acknowledge that there was a riot on January 6 (unlike some members of Congress).

[Nevilledog]

20. The Russians think the Capitol insurrectionists are being persecuted.

Not prosecuted.....PERSECUTED.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov tells Moscow press on Monday that Russia is closely monitoring the arrests/indictments against the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, calling it "persecution" and suggesting human rights violations.

25. BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

Russkies always make the laugh.



In my best William T. Kirk voice......I've never trusted Russians...uh, I mean Klingons and I never will.

[DFW]

27. That's pretty rich coming from a country that would have already poisoned half of them

And just „disappeared“ the rest.

But Lavrov is no fool and no beginner. These are the guys who taught Fox Noise how to lie into a camera with a straight face, and they have been doing it for a LOT longer than the Fox amateurs.

[paleotn]

23. Is it just me, or......

are courses in logic and critical thinking not on the curriculum at most journalism schools? Or do they just offer courses like "blurting out stupid questions you could easily answer yourself with a little goddamn thought" instead? Has journalism cratered in the last 20+ years or does every generation think that? Do many journalists today consider Geraldo "empty vault /empty brain" Rivera their idol? I wonder.

[Martin68]

24. That wasn't a bomb. It was a slightly sarcastic comment, and a funny one at that.

Hyperbole always weakens an argument.

[Cymande]

30. Psaki is a treasure.

I love how she slays these right wing idiots.
