@PressSec appropriately exacting today. "People are say..." a reporter asked. She said Who? It's Trump. Well this admin doesn't take direction from Trump. Boom.

2. Well played.

That "reporter" is no reporter.

[bullimiami]

9. thats the thing though. isnt it Weijia Jiang a CBS WH reporter?

Not sure how she expected that was going to go.
I think she probably felt a little scorched.

[demmiblue]

14. It was... that is disappointing. n/t

[NCDem47]

17. If she is CBS, her bosses need to call her in pronto.

Horribly embarrasing for her as a "professional" and for the news organzation.

Psaki is having NONE of this "people are syaing..." nonsense. Call 'em out Jen! Keep asking them to prove thier vague referrences!!

[msfiddlestix]

30. The reporter actually asked a question on behalf of Trump.

When are reporters going to understand that TRAITORS are not to be given a shred of acknowledge on any subject at any time?

And certainly not be pretending that Trump is "a lot of Americans" .

[MontanaMama]

31. The reporter's ID lanyard

says "CBS News". She had to know that was going to go badly. #PsakiBomb!

[calimary]

37. Good. Serves her right. Why keep stirring that jerk back into the mix?

trump is SO YESTERDAY. No, on second thought, SO last year. SO ancient history. Let’s keep him in the rear view mirror til he fades from view.

Let’s keep him where and what he is: totally, hopefully, and preferably irrelevant.

[tonedevil]

41. Her questioning is as sharp as a marble. /nt

[Dem4Life1102]

43. CBS has become increasingly right wing

the past few years.

[LiberalFighter]

48. Considering they have Norah O'Donnell too. What can you expect?

I don't care for Norah's sensationalism of the news.

[demmiblue]

6. She is so good at her job!

I wonder what news outlet that person is from.

[Cha]

7. TY Omg... like the Traitor trump has

any standing to say anything about ANYTHING.

How dare that reporter bring him into a Biden Admin Presser!?

Was it from fox?

Good on Jen Psaki!

[Hekate]

32. She's from CBS, oddly. I stopped motion & enlarged the pic to read her lanyard...

I would not expect that kind of trash question from a CBS reporter, and I expect her ears to be burning for awhile.

[Cha]

36. Mahalo, Hekate.. I read later

that the reporter was from CBS.

That poster didn't expect it to be from CBS, either.

I hope so.. with the "burning"!

[gratuitous]

8. Calling it what it was

Trump's immigration policies were inhumane and ineffective over the last four years. The Biden administration isn't taking advice from the monster who initiated and carried out those policies.

[Cracklin Charlie]

12. Jen lowered the boom on that reporter!

Dang. Probly still stingin’!

[PatSeg]

23. Someone needs to go back to school

and take some refresher journalism classes. Where did she learn to ask questions like that? Fox News? Newsmax?

[PatSeg]

25. And that other reporter

asking why Biden hasn't held a solo press conference yet? He has been on TV, speaking to the American people almost every day. What kind of stupid question was that?

[LiberalFighter]

49. My thought too.

[calimary]

38. BRAVA, Jen Psaki!

As Stephanie Miller would say, a “Psaki bomb” for sure!

[Takket]

51. in case anyone was wondering, yes there is such a thing as "fake news"

and this is it.

The reporter deliberately attributed a fact-less baseless lie to "Americans" to give the false impression a problem exists where none does.

[JohnnyRingo]

53. Thank you for posting that

Watching it happen is better than the condensed recaps.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Oh, she's good.

[OnDoutside]

4. Scorcho !!!! Wow !

[yonder]

5. "...Americans are saying..."

Who?

Perfect.

[lagomorph777]

11. That's no American. That's my ex-POTUS.

[yonder]

16. What a withering response from Psaki.

That reporter must have rightfully shrunk and squirmed to about two inches tall while learning (hopefully) a valuable lesson.

[lagomorph777]

18. Jeez, don't they teach that in journalism school?

[fwvinson]

40. That's ex-IMPOTUS2

[spanone]

10. 'A lot of Americans' she meant to say one pseudo-american.

[Laelth]

13. Jen Psaki rocks! n/t

-Laelth

[nolabear]

15. As Stephanie Miller says:

“Psaki-Bomb!”

[lagomorph777]

19. Psaki to me!

[nolabear]

45. LOL! Perfect!

[MontanaMama]

34. #PsakiBomb is a thing on Twitter

that clip has already made the #PsakiBomb hall of fame:

39. Attagirl! I'm so impressed with Jen Psaki.

She’s absolutely world-class.

[Johnny2X2X]

44. Excellent.

The border policy of Trump was inhumane and ineffective.

Trunk was a disaster for orderly and legal immigration as well as illegal.

[nolabear]

46. Off to find that hashtag!

[MyOwnPeace]

20. That 'reporter'

probably had a difficult time in the Junior High Debate team too.....

[littlemissmartypants]

21. Zing! eom

[chriscan64]

22. The reporter hosted Washington Week a few weeks ago.

The whole show was about how much cold water could be thrown on Biden's administration in its early days. Isn't Fox always hiring?

[JI7]

24. Why don't they find out if it's happening and why it's happening

Aren't they news orgs ? And then ask questions based on facts.

[WA-03 Democrat]

26. She is the Wilt Chamberlain

Of Press Secretaries.

When something looks so easy but it is not, that is a gift of rare talent. She’s got it nailed and is mentally 3 moves ahead while playing defense and offenses simultaneously.

Whip it!
Whip it Good!

[BlueIdaho]

27. That's a beautiful thing!

It’s time to cancel Trump and all his BS.

[Marcuse]

28. At least the reporter ultimately disclosed her source.

After pushback.

[soothsayer]

29. OAN I reckon, so was probably proud

[Evolve Dammit]

33. A good crisp, concise answer. Totally perfect.

[Hekate]

35. Jen Psaki thinks lightning-fast on her feet. Ye gods, is she good. nt

[LiberalFighter]

50. Why the hell did she use Americans when she only heard it from the idiot?

Doesn't say much about the reporter's integrity.

[soothsayer]

52. OAN I believe. That's Russia
