MSNBC’s Jen Psaki Says Trump’s ‘Creepy’ And ‘Gross’ Attitude To Women Points To 1 Thing

Posted on 19/01/2024 by Boris Clair

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Thursday slammed former President Donald Trump’s attitude toward women as “creepy”, “sexualised” and “demeaning.”

“It’s completely disgusting,” said Psaki, a former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden. “And also it shows not only Donald Trump’s view of women, which is gross, but his instability.”

Her comments came on an episode of MSNBC’s online show Morning Mika, during which host Mika Brzezinski highlighted Trump’s previous attacks on women (including herself) amid his second defamation trial linked to writer E. Jean Carroll. A jury last year found Trump liable for the sexual abuse of Carroll and for defamation, ordering him to pay her $5 million. He is now appealing that decision and denies any wrongdoing.

Psaki said that Trump posted dozens of times about Carroll on his Truth Social platform in just one day.

“That is not the action of a stable person,” she said, calling him “obsessed”.

“This is a disgusting and demeaning view of women,” Psaki added. “That represents who he is now but who he has been for quite some time.”

Ex-Senior Trump Official: He’s A ‘Traitor’ And ‘A Clear And Present Danger’

Posted on 14/11/2023 by Boris Clair

A former senior official in Donald Trump’s White House slammed his ex-boss as a “traitor” and “a clear and present danger to our democracy,” according to a new book by ABC’s Jonathan Karl.

Karl told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Monday evening that the unnamed official served Trump “loyally” for more than a year “at a very high level inside the West Wing, very close to Donald Trump” and hasn’t been publicly critical of him.

Psaki read the full quote from the official:

“He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring. He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in our nation and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy and the rule of law.”

“It gets to a fundamental truth about Donald Trump, and that is the most piercing and searing criticism of him,” Karl said. “The people that are sounding the alarm loudest about what a second Trump term would mean are those who are closest to him.”

Karl told Psaki that the former official hasn’t gone public because he fears “retribution” from Trump against himself and his family.

Karl’s book, “Tired of Winning,” hits shelves on Tuesday.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Shreds Male Reporter With Response On Why Joe Biden Supports Right To An Abortion

Posted on 03/09/2021 by Boris Clair

White House press secretary Jen Psaki had a powerful response to a male reporter who inquired why President Joe Biden supports the right to an abortion, telling him “you have never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant.”

On Thursday, Psaki was asked about the decision by the US Supreme Court earlier this week that allowed a restrictive abortion law to go into effect in Texas. The law effectively bans abortion at six weeks, which is earlier than when many people realise they’re pregnant, and puts citizens at the forefront of enforcement by offering a financial incentive to sue those who have helped someone seeking an abortion. The court denied a request by abortion providers in the state to prevent the law from going into effect.

Upon a male reporter inquiring why Biden supports abortion “when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion as morally wrong?”, Psaki responded forcefully: “He believes that it’s a woman’s right. It’s a woman’s body, and it’s her choice.”

The reporter pressed Psaki further and asked, “Who does he believe, then, should look out for the unborn child?”

In response, Psaki emphasised that Biden “believes that it is up to a woman to make those decisions, and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor.”

“I know you have never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant, but for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing. The president believes that right should be respected,” she fired back.

Earlier on Thursday, Biden issued a statement on the court’s ruling and lambasted the Texas law as “an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights,” insisting that it “unleashes constitutional chaos.”

The statement criticised how the law deputises citizens, noting that people will “now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private and personal health decisions faced by women” and added that the court is allowing “millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities.”

Biden said he would direct the Gender Policy Council and the Office of the White House Counsel to launch “a whole-of-government effort” to respond to the court’s decision and ensure that those seeking abortions in Texas can safely access them.
