After White House Communications Director Steven Cheung shared how he found the former press secretary's personalized notecards in a cabinet to roast her for thinking she's "so important," Psaki clapped back to set him straight.

Political analyst Jen Psaki, the former White House Press Secretary for Democratic President Joe Biden, fired back after being chastised on social media by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung for a "relic" she had left behind.

Cheung, who was Republican President Donald Trump's campaign spokesperson during the 2024 election, had accused Psaki of thinking she was "so important" after he discovered some personalized note cards she'd left behind at the White House.


Early Thursday morning, Cheung posted a photograph of the stationary embossed with Psaki's name, writing in the caption:

"A relic of the past found in a random cabinet in the White House."
"Apparently @jrpsaki was soooooo important she had personalized note cards made to remind people how 'important' she was.

Psaki, who had served as a political adviser to both Biden and former Democratic President Barack Obama, clapped back after Cheung framed her as an arrogant former government official, and she set the record straight with the purpose of the note cards.

She first called him out for being petty while there were other dire circumstances under the Trump Administration he should be more focused on.

"Would hope you had more important things to worry about (you know the cost of eggs, childcare, veterans waiting for care…could literally go on)," wrote Psaki, adding:

"But hey since you raised it I purchased these myself to write notes to colleagues and staff to thank them for their work and also to write back to people who wrote me including kids."

"How dare I!" she concluded.

A community note was also added to Cheung's tweet, noting that "personalized stationary has been commonplace in business and government for two centuries."

Instead of apologizing or acknowledging his misinformed attack, Cheung reprimanded Psaki for not clearing out her belongings when she left the White House in May 2022.

"You shouldn’t have left your sh*t laying around. Clean up after yourself," wrote Cheung.

Meanwhile, the internet scorched Cheung for his non-starter gripe.

The takeaway was that Cheung was today years old when he discovered people use personalized stationary.

Slow day at the office, Steven?
