White House Press Secretary is being slammed for mocking news coverage over Americans’ concern over recent spikes in crime across the country, specifically how “soft-on-crime” policies are contributing to the issue.

The Daily Wire reports:

As many pointed out on Twitter, in cities nationwide, violent crime has skyrocketed and many blame the “defund the police” movement as well as rogue prosecutors who opt to not pursue crimes such as shoplifting and other illegal behaviors. In previous comments, Psaki has refused to state whether or not those prosecutors and a refusal to enforce the law was to blame for any of the crime-related problems cities that have seen recently.

“Do you remember the four boxes that we had on all the TVs right?” Psaki said on the show. “So right now just to give you a sense,” she continued before reading off what stories the media outlets were currently covering on TV.

“So CNN – ‘Pentagon: As many as 8,500 u.s troops on heightened alert’ — OK, true. .. Same on MSNBC … CNBC is doing their own thing about the market … and then on Fox is Janine Pirro talking about ‘soft-on-crime consequences,’ Psaki said with a laugh. “I mean what does that even mean, right?”

“So there’s an alternate universe on some coverage,” she concluded. “What’s scary about it is a lot of people watch that.”

It wasn’t long before Psaki’s comments caught Twitter’s attention and Americans rightfully pushed back on her comments.
