Jen Psaki turns the tables on Peter Doocy after he asks if Biden will apologize to Kyle Rittenhou

Source: raw story


November 23, 2021

.............................


During Tuesday's press briefing, Doocy pointed out that Biden linked Rittenhouse to white supremacists in remarks he made during the 2020 presidential campaign and he asked if Biden would apologize to Rittenhouse.

"This is about a campaign video released last year that used President Trump's own words during a debate as he refused to condemn white supremacists and militia groups," she replied. "And President Trump, as you know... didn't just refuse to condemn militia groups on the debate stage, he actively encouraged them throughout his presidency."



Psaki said then linked Rittenhouse's decision to travel to Kenosha armed with an AR-15 to Trump's encouragement of militias and vigilantes.


"What we've seen are the tragic consequences of that, when people think it's OK to take the law into their own hands," she said.

We do not do ourselves any favors by supporting lies. Rittenhouse did not carry a weapon "across state lines". This was demonstrated as a false claim in his trial. Also, his possession of the AR15 was completely legal under Wisconsin laws.

he went to the Black house from IL, retrieved his illegally straw-purchased MSSA, and went to "guard" a used car lot.

Psaki didn't say he carried it across state lines. You'll find "we" did ourselves a favor here.

Tue Nov 23, 2021, 07:02 PM
Nov 2021

There are many images in the video, and nothing in it that is an accusation that Rittenhouse himself is a racist. The video was about Trump's refusal to disavow white supremacists and there were many people pictured in the video, including victims of racist violence. There is one picture of him with his gun, and the context was a montage of the many incidents of unrest during 2020.

It's almost as if he can connect the dots between his actions and the larger context... feeling guilty about something, Kyle?

Doocy is doing on Fox the equivalent to what happens on Quorum, where you get very loaded questions that very quickly get debunked. The people doing the posting fully know that what they're asking is misleading and don't give a damn about the answers. They do it to seed doubt.

This is a very common disinformation strategy on the right.

1 second shot in a campaign video barely anyone saw.

Doocy's job is to inject the topic into the national discourse, as loudly and offensively as possible. Then the Opinion Shows amplify the outrage. Rinse and repeat.

Fox doesn't report news; they create propaganda. Kyle & Wendy Rittenhouse are allowing themselves to be used.

Psaki took him on with facts, but we're in a post-fact political world now.
