The House Armed Services Committee's top Republican is calling on White House press secretary Jen Psaki to immediately apologize for her response to a Space Force question in Tuesdays briefing.
Its concerning to see the Biden administrations press secretary blatantly diminish an entire branch of our military as the punchline of a joke, which Im sure China would find funny, said Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.).
The Space Force was passed with near unanimous support in Congress, the same type of unity President Biden is supposedly working towards, he continued. Jen Psaki needs to immediately apologize to the men and women of the Space Force for this disgraceful comment.
At Tuesday's briefing, Psaki was asked if Biden had made any decisions on the future of the Space Force, which was established by Congress in December 2019 with support from the Trump administration.

"You won't be laughing if the Klingons or the Romulans take over our planet," shouted Rogers.

(87 posts)Adding another layer of command for a task that the Air Force already has a handle on isn't efficient or needed. Pure side show IMO. Trump wanted to appear that he was forward looking thus getting yet another photo opportunity.

Why don't you speak to Elon Musk? He can launch you into space.

Did she ignore bounties paid by Russians for our military?

(21,563 posts)Wow. Space Force. Its the plane of today, Psaki responded, seemingly comparing the question to an earlier one about the color scheme of Air Force One.
Maybe this is just poorly written but I don't even understand this comment. what does it mean?
