Jen Psaki Digs Deepest of Holes for Biden on Afghanistan Exit When Asked About SOTU ‘Priorities'

As we previously reported, there has been much handwringing and pearl-clutching from The Usual Suspects over the instance during President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday when Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) “heckled” Biden as he referenced the “flag-draped coffins” of U.S. casualties in foreign conflicts during his speech.

For those who missed the much-talked-about moment, watch:

Boebert heckled Biden when he mentioned “flag-draped coffins” — she yelled “13 of them” in reference to the Kabul airport terrorist attack which Biden made no mention of — just ***before*** he said “one of those was my son.” It’s all on video & everything.pic.twitter.com/lOMohnPVXf https://t.co/7sRO304Z54

The “official” word from so-called reporters and their allies on the left was that Boebert chose to be disrespectful specifically when Biden mentioned his son Beau Biden, a JAG lawyer and Iraq war veteran who died from cancer in 2015. Obviously, the clip proves their claim about Boebert not to be true, but then again hard evidence has never, ever deterred the press when there are false political narratives to spread – especially in a critical election year.

In any event, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, known for her epic spin jobs about Biden that have no basis in reality, appeared on MSNBC Wednesday morning hours after Biden’s speech for an interview with Politico White House bureau chief Jon Lemire, who hosts an early morning show on the liberally-biased network appropriately called “Way Too Early.”

At one point during the segment, Psaki was asked about the “heckling” from Boebert and fellow Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), and she actually had the nerve to suggest their priorities were not where they should be:

Later, Psaki told Lemire that there was not enough time for Biden to go over all his priorities in one speech. Note: the below clip makes it look like Lemire asked her about Biden not mentioning the 13 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan during the deadly exit debacle, but what he actually asked her about (which she was responding to below) was Biden not mentioning the Capitol riot:

Between the two answers, this is what’s called “digging a deep hole” for your boss, even deeper than the one he himself broke the shovel out for.

The ultimate job of any person elected to serve as President of the United States is to protect its citizens and to command its military. It’s often been said by past presidents that their toughest job is to send the men and women of the military into armed conflict, knowing there’s a likelihood some will not make it home alive. When they do indeed die – especially as a result of your botched policies – you should spend your every waking moment atoning for that in some way, whether it be in actions or in words.

To date, Joe Biden has done neither, because he feels there was nothing wrong with his Afghanistan exit strategy and because he believes the deaths were inevitable. That he did not prioritize the murders of the 13 servicemembers during his speech was no accident, especially when you consider their deaths were the defining moment of his presidency, where the tide really began turning against him.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s not Boebert’s and Greene’s priorities that are messed up on this issue. It’s Biden’s. In fact, it shouldn’t even be an arguable point, but because the media are such sniveling apologists for this administration, here we are.
