Jen Psaki Expertly Buries Conservative Reporter For Peddling Bonkers Theory About Biden's Dog

Jen Psaki Expertly Buries Conservative Reporter For Peddling Bonkers Theory About Biden's Dog

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has gone viral once again. This time is for shutting down a reporter who suggested she was lying about biting incidents involving President Joe Biden's dog Major.

The interaction took place after the conservative group Judicial Watch released Secret Service emails revealing Major, the Bidens' 3-year-old German Shepherd, was involved in eight separate biting incidents.


A reporter for the Rupert Murdoch owned tabloid New York Post decided to run with that story.

You can hear what transpired in the video below.

The tabloid reporter asked:

"Yesterday the conservative transparency group Judicial Watch released Secret Service records of dog bites involving the First Dog, Major."
"One email said that Secret Service agents were bitten every single day for eight days from March 1 to March 8..."
"At a March 9 briefing, you [Psaki] only described one biting incident to us and described the dog as being 'whisked' back to Delaware on a pre-planned trip with family friends."
"Obviously, that is not the world's most important story. But it is significant because we expect honest information even for minor stories."
"So can you explain to us why there was some sort of misleading account presented to us?"
"If we can't get honest information about minor stories, why should we believe the administration's account for larger issues like Afghanistan?"

Psaki responded:

"I know you do keep the dog in the news in the briefing room, so thank you for that. As we've stated previously, Major has had some challenges adjusting to life in the White House."
"He has been receiving additional training as well as spending some time in Delaware where the environment is more familiar to him and he is more comfortable."
"I don't have any additional specifics but I think that speaks to where Major is located, to be fully transparent in your ongoing interest in the dog."

Did you expect a question about Afghanistan?

How about Covid? Or even Hurricane Ida?

Many criticized The New York Post's reporting.










Judicial Watch obtained the information after it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.

The organization, founded by right-wing conspiracy theorist Larry Klayman, is known to primarily target Democrats.

Over the years, it has promoted numerous false and unsubstantiated claims that have become popular items on right-wing news outlets, including former President Donald Trump's "Big Lie" the 2020 election was stolen.

In the last few days, stories about Biden's dog have been among the top news items on popular right-wing sites such as Fox News, The Washington Times, and The Federalist.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled Kristi Noem With A Fake 'Dog Obedience School' Ad

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom focused his trolling of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, creating a fake dog obedience school ad for the self-professed puppy killer.

In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem bragged about shooting and killing her 14-month-old Wire-haired Pointer puppy named Cricket after she failed to train it properly and without trying to rehome the dog to a competent trainer or a hunting dog rescue.

Trump Gives Pious Reminder That The Bible Says To Care For 'Vulnerable Children'—And The Hypocrisy Is Off The Charts

President Donald Trump was called out for hypocrisy after he said during the signing of an executive order expanding resources for the foster care system that the Bible instructs society to care for "vulnerable children and orphans"—only for people to point out that he had denied Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to hungry children just days before.

The loss of SNAP is a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

Last week, Massie announced he'd married his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa, in late October. His first wife and "high school sweetheart," Rhonda Howard Massie, died in June 2024.

People Explain The Dumbest Reasons They Had To Call 911

We've all made mistakes from time to time, and some of them have probably been pretty cringy and stupid.

But most of us can take comfort in the fact that we didn't do something so stupid that we had to call 9-1-1 to get us out of trouble.
