Jen Psaki, who was previously White House press secretary for Joe Biden, once again stepped back into briefing mode by using her MSNBC show to satirize the often chaotic briefings held by President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
In the Wednesday segment, Psaki responded to real questions that have been posed to Leavitt but, as she said when debuting the bit earlier this month, “without the usual MAGA spin.”
Before a digital backdrop of the White House briefing room, Psaki picked out key themes from a recent briefing.
She argued that Trump is “a lot of things; a fiscal hawk is not one of them,” dismissed the idea that Trump sees Russian President Vladimir Putin as a villain, and predicted Trump may end up flying reporters to Greenland — a territory he has repeatedly talked about acquiring for the United States — to distract from controversies at home.
