Twitter explodes after former Biden spox praises president for working at 9 am – By Aaron Kliegman (Fox News) / Mar 14, 2023
Jen Psaki touts Biden giving speech at start of workday since he normally ‘does nothing’ then
Twitter users expressed a combination of shock, outrage and amusement after ex-White House press secretary Jen Psaki applauded her former boss, President Joe Biden, for giving public remarks at 9 a.m. despite typically “doing nothing” at the start of regular business hours.
“It’s important to note, President Biden does nothing at 9 a.m. He is a night owl,” Psaki told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday. “So, the fact that he is doing this at 9 a.m. anyway speaks to how vital the White House recognizes it is for him to have his voice out there.”
Psaki was referring to Biden on Monday addressing the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Speaking from the White House, Biden said the American banking system remains safe, customers would have access to their money, and taxpayers wouldn’t be on the hook for the administration’s actions to contain the collapse.
