Jen Psaki EXPLODES on Air During Her First Show for MSNBC: Accidentally Calls Trump Donald ‘Tripe’

By

Ahhh, we missed Jen Psaki.

Yes, yes, she’s been on Morning Joe and helping out on other shows, so we’ve seen her and heard from her. Always informative. But it’s not “real Jen” unless Jen owns the stage, like the podium, as she did in the White House. This isn’t a criticism of Karine Jean-Pierre at all because, actually, a political spokesperson really isn’t supposed to be making news, as Jen often did. As I’ve written before, Jen just had this je ne sais quoi that infuriated the MAGAs.

Well, today, Jen did her first show, all her own, “Inside with Jen Psaki.” And it was absolutely everything you would dream it would be, especially a segment that was straight out of Maddow, just Jen being Jen, showing off the I.Q. of 155 or whatever, and slamming the MAGA issue of the day.

“Wokism.”

She broke down how “woke” has become the only response to anything that goes wrong, even when a bank fails. Republicans used to say “high taxes” and the problem would be fixed with tax cuts. Now in the culture wars, it’s all wokism these days As Jen explains, one MAGA politician recently said that “wokeness” was more dangerous to the country than any pandemic. So Jen decided to try to define “woke,” to see if it is a problem. You will see that the majority of Americans, 56% versus 38% believe it’s positive. Jen then looked at former Trump voters who switched to Biden in 2020, the same voters that will decide the 2024 election. Most of them were tired of hearing about it from the Republicans.

And then, to add some elan, a Psaki specialty, she showed some video of conservative author Bethany Mandel who wrote an entire book against “wokism.” In an interview with “The Hill’s Rising, the MANDEL literally struggled to define it – at all – in a 30-second long pause during an interview. She was AWKWARD in her inability, cringe-worthy. It was peak Jen Psaki, and we’re here for it.

And of course when she began she accidentally called Donald Trump “Donald Tripe”, then quickly corrected herself. Tripe is the edible lining from the stomachs of various farm animals. Most tripe is from cattle, pigs and sheep. So, it works.

Twitter lost its mind. She was that good.
