Every regime has their spokesman**. In the current Biden regime, it is Jen Psaki. She has all the proper liberal credentials, New England roots, liberal education, climbed the ladder through all the right campaigns and administrations, kinda lucked out in that respect, until finally she ended up as the Press Secretary for Joe Biden™ . The point here is that while she may look young and come off as a newly minted political starlet, tapped unexpectedly to be thrown into the chaotic limelight, she is not. She has a long resume, she’s done this job before, and she knowns whom she is speaking for. Most administrations have their press secretaries, only a few have their Joseph Goebbels’.
At first glance, it might seem easy to dismiss my contention as unnecessary hyperbole. Aren’t all Press Secretaries mouth pieces sent out to craft the appearance of their boss’s administration? Sure, check. Are they not routinely evasive on uncomfortable matters for the boss and ‘ra ra sis boom ba’ on achievements? Of course. Don’t they all routinely lie and diametrically shift blame to their political enemies for the failures of their own boss? Absolutely no!
A press secretary will parse facts and may routinely provide half the story. While this constitutes unethical journalism, as an administration spokesman, this unfortunately still falls within bounds of their duties, to say only as much as necessary to reflect positively about their boss. Lying is different; a press secretary does not lie because good journalist will eviscerate those lies, expose them and discredit him/her and their boss. Lying is the antithesis of what they’re chartered to do. It does fall under a different rubric, that of propaganda.

It’s debatable, the extent to which Psaki even represents Biden’s positions. Biden spent most of 50 years in Washington as a traditional liberal Democrat, meaning welfare, entitlements, taxes, and locking up people in mass. Now that Biden is mostly sequestered and only occasionally speaks programmed and tele-prompted addresses for public consumption, and yet ‘his agenda’ abruptly jerked to the farthest possible reach ‘left’, even far left of Barack Obama, no one of any intelligence believes he is in control of his own agenda, ergo, Psaki is the mouthpiece of the insurrection hijacking America now, she is their Goebbels.
All of the “let me circle back to that” is cute. Poor dear, sent out to explain the unexplainable. Take a look at her resumeand let me know if you think she’s an innocent lamb. She is an integral part of the machine systematically attempting to crush conservative America on behalf of Biden™ the committee in the shadows.
