Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki attempted to deflect blame for rising crime rates across the country, even going so far as to try and pin the blame on the Republican Party. During a press briefing, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Psaki on a claim made by Biden adviser Cedric Richmond where he said Republicans defunded the police because they opposed Biden’s American Rescue Plan.

According to The Daily Wire:

PETER DOOCY, FOX NEWS REPORTER: Okay. Something one of the advisors said this weekend — Cedric Richmond — he said, “Republicans defunded the police by not supporting the American Rescue Plan.”  But how is it that that is an argument to be made when the President never mentioned needing money for police to stop a crime wave when he was selling the American Rescue Plan?

JEN PSAKI, WH PRESS SECRETARY: Well, the President did mention that the American Rescue Plan, they’ll — the state and local funding — something that was supported by the President, a lot of Democrats who supported and voted for the bill — could help ensure local cops were kept on the beat in communities across the country. As you know, it didn’t receive a single Republican vote. That funding has been used to keep cops on the beat.

DOOCY: But at the time, that was sold as: These local police departments might have a pandemic-related budget shortfall — not, “We need to keep cops on the beat because there’s crime wave.”

PSAKI:  I think that any local department would argue that keeping cops on the beat to keep communities safe when they had to, because of budget shortfalls, fire police is something that helps them address —

  1. the democrats at every level are liars. Ive never in my life seen a bigger collection of conmen and women in one place. Washington is a cesspool where the lowest forms of life congregate and conspire to enrich and empower themselves all the while kicking the little guy at any chance they get … Time to drain the cesspool

  2. All the worthless Democrats do is lie above everything they are all worthless idiots and anti American,should all be thrown out of the government immediately and permanently!

    1. There is not truth in the Democrats, they are destroying America because they want a Global bureaucracy which does not honor a lawful, Godly society.

  3. I always hoped she had some sense of humor and she makes me laugh with this latest stupidity.

  4. This is more than just funding. It’s Democratic policies that are causing increased violent crime, in addition to reduced funding.

  5. How can this woman Psaki sleep at night, reveling in cheating and glorying in wholesale falsehoods? The Lord has a special place for those who love a lie.

    1. Psaki draws her nice paycheck, it makes her sleep at night! Oh, and it helps that Democrats have no conscience!

  6. Jen Psaki is the most ignorant Press Secretary in the history of the Democrat party! She is either ill informed or the most bald faced liar to ever stand at the podium. She “spins and circles back” with her responses while trying to make good journalists feel and look incompetent for asking serious questions that should and need to be answered! The joke is on Jen, she is the only one who looks and is incompetent!

  7. Never forget. If the Leftist mouth is open, not gorged with food, and is constructing syllables, it is lying.

  8. Don’t ever quit standing up for truth, because it matters. Socialism depends on telling the big lie over and over, the left will continually lie to achieve their agenda.

  9. Just like with the election fraud, no matter how much evidence you present, they will still deny, deny, deny! That must be what that (D) stands for.

  10. Unfortunately, however decent a person Jen Psaki is, she’s well out of her element as a reporter! I expect that she would be better off in some other venue!
