Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki was criticized after she demanded Republicans tone down their 'rhetoric' after Donald Trump was shot at Saturday.
Donald Trump's family and supporters have slammed the liberal media for downplaying Saturday evening's assassination attempt - and for running tone-deaf opinion pieces in the wake of the atrocity.
On Sunday, Psaki appeared on Meet the Press and angered Republicans further by putting the onus on them to stop the rage.
'One thing for all of us to remember is it may not feel paused tomorrow or Tuesday. And part of that is because the convention is starting and unless the programming changes, the rhetoric and how the programming is set up is not actually calming the tone or restoring civility,' she said.
'We'll see if that programming changes but if it stays the same, that is escalating it. It is not a civil approach to a convention,' the former press secretary added.
Psaki was immediately criticized by social media, similar to how Trump's family went after the press earlier this weekend.
One user on X wrote: 'Jen Psaki said the Repubs have created a 'tone,' but it is Biden & Dems who have called Trump a Nazi, a rapist, a felon, a terrorist. They have called MAGA supporters domestic terrorists & cult members. Biden promised unity but instead incited violence & division. GO TO HELL.'
'Stop lying and fueling the fire and you wouldn't be scared,' added another.
She then centered herself and her media colleagues in her call for a cease to the angry rhetoric.
'For anyone out there who has a platform who thinks the moment right now is to be political and attack the other party — you are feeding into the danger. You are making it more likely there's retaliation.

“Joe just told use we resolve differences in the battle box”
LOL! So he DID say “battle box” instead of “ballot box”..? I thought that’s what I heard - twice - but thought I might be mistaken.
What did Psaki have to say about Biden’s blood-red ‘Führer’ speech a couple of years ago, or all the other times he has demonized those of us who don’t agree with him and his party’s agenda?
His Oval Office speech tonight was nausea provoking in its hypocrisy.
Little Orphan Psaki
“Joe just told use we resolve differences in the battle box”
And “former Trump”. Yeah Joe, he almost was former Trump. Another Freudian slip?
“Just because we are trying to kill you doesn’t mean you have to get upset about it.” - Democrat media whores.
Raggedy Ann is just as brainless as the iconic stuffed doll after which we have named her.
the convention is starting...You are making it more likely there’s retaliation.
what the blazes is Psaki implying? no conventions for Republicans now or else? what a loony tune
Yes. What exactly does this mean?
And part of that is because the convention is starting and unless the programming changes, the rhetoric and how the programming is set up is not actually calming the tone or restoring civility,' she said.
What is the "programming"? She doesn't know what's going to be said. I think she's just blowing smoke. It's aimed at stupid people.
We’ll circle back to you on that.
A “Tara Reed”?
Give her a very bad boob job?
Sorry that was my first thought.
Cease fire! Cease fire!
How Gaza’s of her. SMH
EC
Eric Cartman was right about Gingers.
Kathy Griffin has got to be somewhere near the top 10 in that competition. What a disgusting, talentless little whore. If Trump held up a severed head that looked like her, imagine the uproar.
