Another day, another zinger from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

And this time, all she had to do was cite the First Amendment.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy attempted to "gotcha" Psaki at today's White House press conference by asking about Olympian Gwen Barry's protest at a recent event.

Unfortunately for him, the unflappable Psaki was ready with the perfect answer--and a quick civics lesson too. You can see her response below.

Doocy, it seems, is among the many conservatives who are outraged over Barry, who ignited a firestorm on the right after she turned her back on the American flag during the National Anthem at an Olympic qualifying event. Barry, who is Black, has been an outspoken activist for racial justice throughout her athletic career.

Seemingly attempting to use Barry to trap Psaki into painting Democratic President Joe Biden as unpatriotic, Doocy asked if Biden felt Barry's behavior was "appropriate... for someone who hopes to represent Team USA?"

Psaki did not take the bait for even a moment. First, she clarified the nature of Biden's patriotism.

"I haven't spoken to the President specifically about this. But I know he's incredibly proud to be an American, and has great respect for the anthem, and all that it represents especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world.

And then she hit Doocy with the civics lesson he clearly slept through in high school.

"He would also say of course that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments where we are as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals, and it means respecting the right of people, granted to them in the constitution to peacefully protest."

Any other questions, Mr. Doocy?

On Twitter, people loved Psaki's subtle, straight-to-the-point clap back.







And they had no love for Peter Doocy, who's made a habit of ineptly trying to outsmart Psaki.




As for Barry, she earned her spot on the U.S. Olympic team at the event at which she protested. Her fellow teammate DeAnna Price has said she's "proud" of Barry for protesting the anthem.

Conservative Tries To Claim Disney+ Show Is Somehow Satanic Due To Joke—And Gets Instantly Fact-Checked

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.

While Joseph considered Galilee his immediate family's home, the trio would eventually flee to Egypt as refugees to escape from King Herod.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.

For years, MTG was best known as the QAnon conspiracy theory-spewing, State of the Union heckling, crossfit hyping, Trump ride-or-dying, anti-LGBTQ+ racist MAGA minion from Georgia.
