White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question on Sunday regarding whether President Biden still considers New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo "the gold standard" for leadership during the coronavirus pandemic.
During an appearance on ABC’s "This Week" Psaki did not directly answer a question from Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl who pointed to Biden’s comments from April 2020.
At the time, Biden said the "governor of New York has done one hell of a job" and that he thinks Cuomo is "sort of the gold standard."
Karl pointed to the New York governor’s alleged undercounting of nursing home deaths and the fact that he reportedly misled legislatures in the state.
"So does President Biden still consider Andrew Cuomo ‘the gold standard’ when it comes to leadership on the pandemic?" Karl asked.
"We work with Gov. Cuomo just like we work with governors across the country," Psaki responded. "He’s also the chair of the NGA [National Governors Association] so he plays an important role in ensuring that we’re coordinating closely and getting assistance out to people of his state and to states across the country and we’ll continue to do that."
Psaki went on to say that "there, of course, will be a process," which she said will include investigations, adding that "we’ll leave that to others to determine, the appropriate law enforcement authorities to determine how that path is going to move as we look forward."
She then said that "we are going to continue to work with a range of governors, including of course Gov. Cuomo because we think the people of New York, the people of states across the country need assistance, not just to get through the pandemic, but to get through this difficult economic time and that’s where our focus remains."

Did she say she would circle jerk to him with an answer?
She’ll circle back to that.
Doesn’t she ever get dizzy from circling the Marxist sewer drain?
I’ve already tuned her out permanently.

Of course she did.
The Chairman Jao Bai Din gang is beyond a pathetic joke.
Maybe New York’s ambitious AG could take a little time off from her persecution of Donald Trump to sniff out a mass murderer or two right under her nose. Just sayin’

She gave the typical Democrat word salad which means nothing.
Because they really have no idea what they’re doing. The pretense only works as long as they have their adoring fools.

Did any other states allow positive staff to continue to report for work...?
“... Psaki did not directly answer a question ...”
Another day at the office for her. It’s not just that she’s a slimy liar, some of that comes with the job, it’s also that she’s really bad at it.
She doesn’t even have to be good at it. Not when you have the giant machine in place.
Who knew Fredo’s brother was dumber than Fredo. Except Bolshekrats.
Pjen Psaki dodges a LOT of questions - either she has no idea what the consensus of driving opinion is within the Harris/Biden regime, or the answer, if the least bit truthful, would be damaging to the image the Harris/Biden is trying to project.
There are no “fact-checkers” operating to review the daily propaganda flow from the Harris/Biden regime, as this particular position was created only for the purpose of telling conservatives to “Shut the hell up, don’t talk while we are interrupting you! Just don’t talk, EVER!”
I find it fascinating that the MSM is actually asking her some uncomfortable questions. I didn’t expect that to happen, but they are likely getting bored.
I’ve never heard of the National Governors Association before now. Why on earth is that even a thing? Seems unnecessary to me.
It really was a yes or no answer.
15,000+ people killed because of him and the democrat party.
He won a Emmy for “The Nursing Home Killing Fields”.
Will hollywood rescind the award or give him another?
Gold plated turds.
