Psaki Mocks Branch of the Military When Asked About the Space Force, Then Has No Idea of the Response

Let’s face it. So far, Jen Psaki has not covered herself in glory in her performance as a press secretary.

Occasionally, you do have to answer a question, you can’t just say, “I’ll circle back” to everything (and then not do so). People will notice and talk. It hasn’t taken long,

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/02/02/320769-n320769

I asked @PressSec if President Biden planned to keep the Space Force, or its scope, and she declined to say.

(She poked fun at the question about an entire branch of the military as the "plane of today," referring to when she'd been asked about the Air Force One paint job.)

— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) February 2, 2021

“Wow… Space Force,” she said. “It’s the plane of today. It is an interesting question. I’m happy to check with out Space Force point of contact, I’m not sure who that is, I will find out, to see if we have any update on that.”

Ok, it’s still pretty early in her tenure, but it’s sort of important to know who your contacts in the military are. She was previously a deputy press secretary so you would think she would know something about the job.

On top of that, why is she mocking the Space Force? Again, this is something Democrats and media justified because it was part of their TDS to mock President Donald Trump for creating it. But it’s an important part of the military, that showed Trump’s understanding and forethought about protecting our assets in space (it’s not about NASA, it’s about unifying the effort to protect those assets). Mocking a branch of the military is really a bad look for a press secretary. Imagine if Kayleigh McEnany had done it, there’d be stories all over CNN and MSNBC. MSM spent weeks on the false story of President Donald Trump supposedly saying something mocking about the military which everyone present at the event said he never said. But media still amplified it beyond all reason and there are people who believe it because of the media.

Wingrove also observed that she failed to give him any detail about his other questions too.

FWIW, my initial two questions also yielded no detail — why President Biden's immigration actions today don't appear to order the immediate release of children from ICE detention (which he's called for to be done "immediately") or raise the refugee cap, which Trump slashed.

Defense reporter Kevin Baron did notice the mockery from Psaki.

"It's the plane of today," is Psaki's way of snarking at WH press questions about things they. think are silly, like Air Force 1's paint scheme, — so that's where Space Force ranks with them, apparently.

— Kevin Baron (@DefenseBaron) February 2, 2021

But it’s an important question and let’s hope they keep it because it’s already become vital for our protection.

The branch has already become so important that it foiled an Iranian missile attack against an American base in Iraq on Jan. 7, 2020, and giving the military an early warning to be able to get to their bunkers in time.

She should "circle back" and get informed on how important they have already become.https://t.co/hc2Ap3UMPl

So where are the Democrats/media to say this isn’t the way one should respond about a branch of the military?

Bet the Space Force is toast under Biden or at least shuffled to the side to be replaced by the transgendered social workers corp etc.

China no doubt wants Biden to continue the research and prototypical development because they know anything creative americans develop will be turned over by Biden to them. They will order him not to deploy.

I would be surprised if Jen is still in that position after Tax Day, April 15th. No significance that it’s Tax Day, but that is a good No News time of the year to quietly usher her to some other job on the “Unsinkable!” USS Joe Biden.

Why wouldn’t a space cadet like her not know anything about the Space force?

I’m happy to check with out Space Force point of contact, I’m not sure who that is...

And, she probably never will.

The Space Force is under the aegis of the DOD. You and your gang are personna non-grata in the Pentagon.

Jen, don't try and call them.... they'll call you. If indeed they want to do so.

"Bet the Space Force is toast under Biden"

Of course it is.

Who cares about exploring the universe.

Just think of all the corruption that could be bought with that money.

"Big guy's" gotta get in on that.

On every tree she passes.
