Newsmax Reporter Asks About 'Secret' Infrastructure Memo, And Jen Psaki Hilariously Shuts Him Down

Newsmax Reporter Asks About 'Secret' Infrastructure Memo, And Jen Psaki Hilariously Shuts Him Down

During a recent White House press briefing, John Gizzi of the far-right conservative network Newsmax asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki about a supposed "secret memo" that, in his words, claimed the "price tag" on Joe Biden's $2.25 trillion infrastructure bill "is $1 trillion off."

Psaki, who has quickly developed a reputation for deftly dismissing fabricated stories and bad-faith arguments, knew exactly how to handle the "secret memo" question.


Gizzi asked:

"The other thing on the infrastructure package, there is a private memo that's being circulated in the business community and to some Republican senators that said that the $2.25 trillion price tag is $1 trillion off. And that there's many things in there that were omitted in the initial discussion of the bill."
"This is being circulated on the Hill, do you have any response to the charge that the president low-balled the price tag on the infrastructure bill?"

Keeping a straight face, Psaki responded:

"Sounds mysterious, the memo -- the secret memo."


The Press Secretary went on to say:

"We laid out very specifically each component of the package and how much we're proposing, so I'd encourage y'all to get your calculators out and charge that up and see how it compares to the secret memo."




Twitter couldn't help but laugh at Psaki's not-so-subtle snark.



Gizzi's true motivations in asking the question seemed obvious to many: make the Biden administration's new infrastructure bill seem bigger and scarier than it is.



We may never know what was on the legendary secret memo!


Jen Psaki continues her undefeated run of sass, addressing bad faith questions from reporters with the calm dismissiveness they deserve.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
