Jen Psaki Still Won’t Credit Trump With Anything to Do With the Vaccine

I’m no mental health professional but isn’t that kind of paranoid?

Jen Psaki needs an intervention. Or, at least, a high colonic. Perhaps the entire administration can do with a good cleansing. Otherwise, how do you explain not only their continued refusal to credit Trump with anything having to do with the vaccine but also their taking credit for vaccine accomplishments that are clearly Trump’s?

Insider:

Psaki on Friday pushed back when a reporter asked whether Trump deserved any acknowledgement for his vaccine efforts.

She said the progress on vaccines was a “Herculean incredible effort by science and by medical experts.”

“And certainly, we’ve applauded that in the past, and we’re happy to applaud that again,” she added.

That wasn’t the question, Jen.

On Friday, a reporter pressed Psaki on Biden’s speech, asking: “Why not just say, with credit to the previous administration and the former president for putting us in this position, we are glad that we have been able to move it forward?”

Psaki dismissed the question as an “excellent recommendation as a speechwriter” and said the purpose of Biden’s speech was to provide the American people with an “update on what his administration has been doing.”

“Americans are looking for facts. They’re looking for details. They’re looking for specifics,” Psaki said. “And I don’t think they’re worried too much about applause from six months ago when the president has already delivered that publicly.”
