Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly blasted Biden Administration White House press secretary Jen Psaki over her recent interview where she refused to separate the administration from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo due to the recent discovery that he lied to citizens and lawmakers about some of the COVID death counts in assisted living facilities.
Psaki projects total fear in every exchange. Her meekness is maddening. So I guess we shouldnāt be surprised she lacks the courage to do as even the Dem AG of NYS has done and call Cuomoās lie a lie. https://t.co/3DruBl88bD

Kelly took to Twitter to share her opinions, sayingĀ āPsaki projects total fear in every exchange. Her meekness is maddening. So I guess we shouldnāt be surprised she lacks the courage to do as even the Dem AG of NYS has done and call Cuomoās lie a lie.ā
The former Fox favorite was referring to a clip of Psaki on āThis Weekā where the White House communications lead refused to condemn NY Governor Cuomo.
Arthur Schwartz tweeted āBidenās press secretary repeatedly refuses to condemn Andrew Cuomoās actions that led to the deaths of thousands of elderly New York nursing home residents.ā
During the interview, Jonathan Karl put the question to Psaki in context, saying, āLast spring Biden held up Cuomo as the āgold standardā of pandemic response.ā He then played the clip of Bidenās accolades or the New York governor.
āNow weāve seen that Cuomo has allegedly undercounted nursing home deaths, mislead legislators in New York and he called New York Assemblymen Ron Kim, basically threatening to destroy him,ā Karl went on.
āSo, does President Biden still consider him to be the āgold standardā when it comes to leadership on the pandemic?ā
Psakiās response was truly a work of art in circumventing the actual question:
āWell Jon, we work with Gov Cuomo just like we work with governors across the country. Heās also chair of the NGA so heās played an important role in ensuring that weāre coordinating closely that weāre getting assistance out to people of his state and to states across the country. and weāll continue to do that.
āThere will, of course, be a process to investigation, weāll leave that to others to determine, the appropriate law enforcement authorities to determine how that path is going to move as we look forward. But we are going to continue to work with a range of governors, including, of course, Gov. Cuomo because we think the people of New York, and the people of states across the country, need assistance not just to get through the pandemic but to get through this difficult economic time [note the opportunity taken to diss Trump]. And thatās where our focus remains.
Essentially, Bidenās press secretary has proven that the Biden administration is hell-bent on using the liberal hatred of former President Donald Trump as cover for their bad behavior while continuing to act in an incredibly irresponsible and deceptive way.
Karl: āBut my question was; does President Biden still believe that Andrew Cuomo ks the āgold standard,ā represents, the āgold standardā on leadership during this pandemic. Just a āyesā or āno.āā
She, of course, did not answer: āThe president well, it doesnāt always have to be a yes or no answer Jon.ā
Itās shouldnāt be shocking that the White House wonāt distance itself from blatant lies, based on the lies they told. It shouldnāt surprise any American that they are willing to cover up deaths in order to promote their own agenda when we knew in advance that this was what Biden and his former administration, the Obama administration, did over and over.
And we let them. Just like we have let them get away with their blatant thievery of the election.
This shouldnāt surprise us. But somehow, it still stings.
