Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that Republicans’ rhetorical strategy of comparing the alleged wrongdoings of former President Trump and those of Hunter Biden creates a “false equivalency” and mirrors tactics employed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian regimes.
“[Republicans want to] muddy the waters out there. That, by the way, is a tactic that Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian dictators use,” Psaki, an MSNBC host, said on “José Díaz-Balart Reports.”
“But that’s their strategic objective — to make it all seem the same,” the former top spokesperson for President Biden added.
Psaki noted that the president’s son, whose plea deal on tax- and gun-related charges recently fell apart in court, has become a provocative talking point for the GOP base, but she stressed the charges he faces are very different from Trump’s.
“Raising Hunter Biden is something that certainly gets the Republican base going. What they want, strategically, is there to be this false equivalency between Hunter Biden — who, yes, didn’t pay taxes for two years, didn’t register his gun. Yes, that’s serious. There are consequences. He’s going through the legal process. They’re working through that process on the plea deal,” she said.

“That is not the same — and I think it’s important to state this — as a former president trying to overturn the outcome of an election or obstructing justice, as he’s been indicted for,” Psaki added. “What the Trump team wants is false equivalency so that it all feels the same.”

Gee, what President indicts his biggest political competitor over bogus charges? Sounds very Putinesque to me.
I consider arresting and prosecuting political opponent’s to be far more Putin like. When will we start seeing the poison umbrellas come into play.
The only reason Biden is having Trump indicted is that he couldn't find a way to poison him with radioactive material like Putin does.
They really are one-trick ponies aren’t they.
“Be sure to allude to Putin somehow!” somebody said at the preparation meeting.
If in doubt, blame the Russians.
Putin says stupid things on tv.
Psaki says stupid things on tv.
Therefore, Psaki is the same as Putin.
Liberal lies and logic.
A babbling Democrat hack. We’re used to them.
The only White House Press Corps message, once you boil it down.
Sounds like Little Jenny has been hitting the Saki. Somebody needs to tell her she lost her job to a black, French, lesbian refugee thanks to her party’s politics. She can shut up now. Nobody cares what she has to say.
Almost as dumb as Joe pudding brain


But....but....Devon Archer testified that Joe Biden is completely innocent.
Archer told the Congress Joe Biden had NO involvement in Hunter’s schemes.
Holy Moley. This means Hunter was running a fake operation....
conning all these gullible, needy, third world honchos.
Hunter led them on w/ sweet talk, letting the poor guys think
they were going to get govt favors from innocent VP Biden
.......only after forking over large amounts of money.
Why not? It's the same strategy used on some Ukraine-Russia war threads, wherein only two sides are allowed. The Psaki side asserts....

Liz,
The Illusion Lie created by Dems on defense doesn’t help them legally.
It’s Fraud. There’s a bunch of fraud statutes, as you know.
On Monday, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), the only Democrat on the hearing committee, told the entire country Devon Archer testified that Joe Biden “merely exchanged pleasantries” with Hunter Biden’s foreign business partners.
According to Goldman, “Joe Biden merely spoke of the weather” and didn’t even KNOW who he was talking to during the more than twenty (20) times Joe participated in Hunter’s meetings w/ foreign dealmakers needing a favor.
Not so well known, is that Hunter doesnt make a move
without Democrat Dan Goldman being appraised of every detail.
Hunter calls Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) “to tell Dan
when he places his father, then VP Joe Biden, on a speakerphone”
while dining with foreign business associates needing
favors from his dad.
Hunter told Dan he and the foreigners talk about the
“inclement weather” and about “Jill Biden’s latest fashion faux pas.”
