Less than two weeks into the new Biden administration White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is earning a reputation as a no-nonsense, no rumor-mongering, no guff leader in the briefing room who is determined to set an appropriate tone.

On Monday one reporter asked about President Joe Biden meeting with Republicans on a COVID relief bill today. He tried to stir up trouble. It didn’t go over well.

“There are Democrats who are seeing that the first meeting the President is having face-to-face with lawmakers is with Republicans and not Democrats. Why is the White House doing that?” asked CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe.

1. Meh...Biden could tell them to take the WH fence down tomorrow and it would come down ASAP

Let's not be silly.

2. No, according to Ms. Psaki the Secret Service is taking the lead on that.

That's what I respect so much about President Biden. He allows the experts to do their jobs.

3. What's all this, then?

The Press Secretary isn't going to go chasing after shadows in a tunnel? A reporter can't just say that "some people" in the hallway are saying something and expect Jen Psaki to go haring off after the wild goose? She's looking for specific names and the actual substance of their complaint before just taking the reporter's framing of what other people may be saying? Unheard of! Unthinkable!
