Rightwing reporter lies to Jen Psaki, gets smacked down IMMEDIATELY - Brian Tyler Cohen

1. You know, I think that this guy bent over and touched his a&& backwards in trying to pin something

on Psaki and Biden, multiple times.

They should exclude this reporter from future briefings or such, since he is seemingly only interested in 'gotcha' issues etc., or in another words, a RW attorney attempting to place her/the Biden admin. under cross examination.

Enough. Kick these thugs out of the briefings...they're not really interested in News, and in fact, are more interested in 'making the News'.

[Snackshack]

5. Could not agree more.

Every credentialed reporter should be given the opportunity when it exists to ask questions but after the 2,3,4 time of asking clearly slanted questions such as douchy they should be booted from the room.

[ailsagirl]

14. Who IS this moron?

🤨🧐🤪

[magicguido]

2. Why did trump increase Military Funding and violate MY conscience?

[Probatim]

24. Or why did he violate my conscience by restarting Federal Executions?

[JohnSJ]

3. A reporter from a Catholic news outlet, intentionally LYING and misrepresenting the facts

[Comfortably_Numb]

9. The pedo priest enablers have entered the chat. In this case, the press room...

[AnotherMother4Peace]

4. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor - 9th commandment

even if it fits your narrative.

[Warpy]

6. Too many big words

You've got to dumb it down for these cleft headed idiots.

"No, sir, that is one of the anitabortion far right's favorite lies, but using public money for abortion has been banned for decades. Public money can't be used for abortions, not unless Congress overturns that law. It is not done."

When he blathers about how money can't be traced, "No, that is another lie by the far right. The money is traced and is put into a separate fund by these organizations. They use it for cancer screenings and other health care. They are prevented by law from using it for abortions and have to account for every cent."

If he tries to blather again, "How many women do you want to kill from cancer or other illnesses? Because that's what you're doing."

NEXT

You have to identify far right propaganda as LIES and say why they're LIES or the folks out in TV land will think you're the one who's lying. That's how propaganda works. You can't use big words to morons who are used to being spoon fed a pack of lies. You just can't.

End of lesson.

7. Note to everyone in the universe..

with an IQ above that of asparagus:

These people are not "pro life".

16. Woman-hating gestational slavers.

8. Seriously, a Catholic reporter from a Catholic news outlet?? Dude, tell me again why the FUCK

I would think your organization representing the single greatest child abuser organization in HISTORY has any standing to ask anything about anything??

My apologies to Catholic DU members - I am on an all juice regimen and kinda cranky.

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. I'd be cranky too!

And REALLY put out at the person who was making me do it.

[NoMoreRepugs]

13. I just yelled at myself - now I feel a bit better.

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. NOICE!

[patphil]

18. People who want to "lord" it over other people look for positions of power in religions.

So you have the concepts of guilt, fear, and punishment always waiting to be rolled out and used as a weapon to keep the faithful in line.
I walked away from the Catholic Church decades ago when I realized they were not helping me find my way to God. It was a liberating experience.

[calimary]

20. This Catholic DU member is NOT AT ALL offended.

These are things that need to be said and need to be repeated. And out loud.

If I dare - Our Lord Jesus even said “this is My body.” In a different context, of course.

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. Bit of a change in atmosphere in these events.

A year ago, his second "question", and maybe even his first, would have been met with "You're fake news" and the Fickle Finger of Fate would move on.

[ananda]

12. Religion should really stay out of politics. Period.

There was a reason Jefferson promoted separation
of church and state.

[calimary]

21. Abso-fuckin'-lutely!

[SmittyWerben]

15. What this question ignores is common accounting practice

The question is always phrased "well, if you give them money in one area they just use the money displaced by the new money to provide abortions." That is the lie they love to perpetuate. In accounting all money is accounted for, both where it comes from and where it goes. Say you get 100 dollars that can be legally spent on every thing but milk. The law that grants you that 100 dollars says no milk is to be bought with any part of that 100 dollars. Now you also get donations of 5 dollars to buy milk. The way accounting works is that you have 2 accounts, one for everything, and one for milk. When the 5 dollars for milk is spent that account is empty until more donations are received. No money from the 100 dollar account can be placed in the milk account legally and would immediately trigger the anti-milk fanatics to scream about misappropriation of the general account. This is ridiculously simplified but the idea holds up. You can't spend money for abortions unless you can clearly demonstrate that that money was donated for that purpose. Once that money is completely spent you cannot provide more abortions. You cannot pull funds into the abortion account that are legally not allowed to be spent on abortion. There is no magical moving money around. This is not a trump company filing for bankruptcy, it is an agency accountable to the public with the legally enforced prohibition on spending federal funds on abortion.

25. +1

Agree completely.
Having been on the BoD of a $300 million CU for years, the budget is assigned line items for a reason.
That's true of any business, profit driven or not.
But, facts of business are irrelevant to guys like this reporter. He had a point to make & was too busy loading up a question to notice it was based in fantasy.

[Justice matters.]

28. Maybe if she would have explained it like this to the moron...

... that would have shut him up (and all the RW morons too), but they probably would attack the messenger for 'splaining it like they are toddlers (as they R).

[patphil]

17. I really like what Brian Tyler Cohen said.

The government isn't your church, your church is your church.
No religion has the right to dictate what people of other religions, or no religion, can or can't do.
If we let each group determine what the whole does, then nothing will get done. We'll be pulled in a hundred different direction at once. Government will cease to function.
A Democratic Republic is always a compromise of many diverse groups working together for the greater good. This does require allowing people to be different in beliefs and actions.
Unfortunately, that idea is becoming less and less viable in this country.

[calimary]

22. Man, does this ever nail it!

Brian Tyler Cohen. Not familiar with him. Gotta look him up.

[paleotn]

19. Lying for Jebus...

What else is new from these god bothering bastards? I'd really like to take the Hyde Amendment and beat the life out of them with it. Figuratively, of course.

[3catwoman3]

23. How much longer before some of these dumbass reporters...

...figure out that trying to “gotcha” Jen Psaki is not only an exercise in futility, but also creating an opportunity to be publicly humiliated?

[Kath2]

26. Jen Psaki rocks.

That was a beautiful moment. Thank you, Jen.

[Skittles]
