Another day. Another lie For Jen Psaki
Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, is spreading lies about ex-President Donald Trump.
Psaki stated, “Well, it’s safe for me to say that he [Biden] still does not trust Donald Trump. So that”Well, I think it’s safe to say he [Biden] still doesn’t trust Donald Trump, so that hasn’t changed.”
“But he does trust scientists,” Psaki added. “He does trust data experts and he does trust the people leading the CDC, the FDA, which is the gold standard of approval for vaccines.”
Doocy asked, “Yes, but at the time when Donald Trump is out there saying, ‘We’re going to have a vaccine in the next couple weeks, next couple months,’ and Joe Biden is out on the campaign trail saying, ‘Don’t trust Donald Trump,’ did that create any kind of vaccine hesitancy?”
Doocy responded by saying, “Not that I’ve seen in data.”
Then Psaki told the major lie: “I would note that at the time, just for context, the former president was also suggesting people inject versions of poison into their veins to cure COVID, so I think that’s a relevant point.”

To give you some context, Kamala Harris, Vice President, stated that: “There is very little that we can trust that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth… If Donald Trump tells us I should take [the vaccine], that we should take it, I’m not taking it.”

Harris was lying because Trump, who has vaccinated himself, also encourages others to get vaccinated if necessary.
