Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee has thrust First Lady Jill Biden into the spotlight, raising serious questions about her involvement in the decision-making process regarding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
During her appearance, Psaki was pressed with pointed questions about the chain of command and whether Jill Biden had any undue influence or involvement in the critical decisions surrounding the withdrawal.
In a video posted on Thursday, July 4, 2024, the controversy began when committee members sought clarity on who had ultimate authority in the decision-making process for the withdrawal.
The question on everyone’s mind was straightforward: “Who gave the order?” As Psaki took the stand, lawmakers aimed to dissect the layers of command that led to the chaotic evacuation in August 2021.
The grilling session quickly escalated, with some members of the committee even asking if Jill Biden had overstepped her bounds, thus potentially interfering with the military and diplomatic channels traditionally reserved for the President and his advisors.
Psaki, who had been a key figure in the administration’s communications strategy, found herself navigating a labyrinth of inquiries about the First Lady’s involvement.
She’s about as qualified to do any of the white house business as a Siamese cat. If she’s so good, have her go pave Snow Hill Road i Salisbury!!!! It is tearing my car up.
