One of the very few MAGA issues they have with Joe Biden (other than being lied to about the economy) involves their resistance to the “mandatory vaccinations.”
There is a very significant portion of the population in this country that wouldn’t follow direction from President Biden if Biden said “I am creating a policy by which every citizen in America is forced to leave their heads on and not cut them off,” they would start a movement where… Ok, that is hyperbole. But the underlying meaning is legitimate.
If Donald Trump was doing public service announcements in which he said that he fully supports the vaccination policies – while reminding people that the federal government is not forcing any person to get the vaccine (Other than the military and other government positions). A person is always from to leave the employer who requires it or avoid the restaurants and places of business that requirement. No shirt, no shoes, no service, no different, you cannot demand to walk in and be served in your bare feet.
Peter Doocy evidently brought up the fact that at this point, more people had passed under President Biden’s watch than under President Trump’s and that Biden had said during the campaign, “Any president that allows 200,000 people to die on their watch doesn’t deserve to be president, is that still the standard.”
Before we even get into Psaki’s answer, it is best to point out that those numbers surely include every person that lost their lives during the worst period in the crisis, last winter and that Biden put his hand on the Bible on January 20th.
Thus, every single loss of life to Covid that happened within the next month to six weeks can clearly be attributed to President Trump and his policies, even holding Christmas parties without masks (for God’s sake). Additionally, since Joe Biden has had far more time as president with active COVID washing the country than Trump ever did. A new version of the virus hit, Delta, which was far more contagious and hit younger people, including kids. And, finally, the people that are dying are the people who are resisting Biden the more firmly, Trump followers who – again, would reject anything Biden said just to own the libs, again.
If the country had an 85 to 90% vaccination rate, we’d be developing herd immunity and the number of people loosing their battles to covid would be down significantly, perhaps to a fraction of what they were per week under Trump.
It appears that Jen Psaki had finally had enough. Her answer was tough, it fully answered the question, and it mocked the fact that these people were so concerned about Biden’s policies and the number of people who passed (during a shorter time period) that they’ve forgotten the past president’s actions with respect to COVID.
Sit back and breathe this in:
Psaki: I think the fundamental question here is what are you doing to save lives and the former President was suggesting people inject bleach, he apparently didn’t share with people he was going to interact with that he tested positive.. pic.twitter.com/TD2M7D5U3G

Her best answer to a question ever, in our opinion.
