Psaki Dismisses Hunter Biden Scandal: It's Not on the Front Pages!

October 9th, 2022 3:58 PM

On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed the newsworthiness of the FBI's announcement that they now have collected enough evidence to charge President Biden's crack delinquent crackhead son Hunter with tax and gun-related charges. Psaki claimed that she looked online at the front pages of local newspapers around the country and didn't see the story. Therefore, according to her, it's just an inside-the-Beltway Washington story. 

During the panel segment on Meet the Press, guest moderator Kristen Welker brought up the Hunter Biden story to Psaki. 

Turning to Psaki, Welker asked: "these revelations at the end of the week in The Washington Post that investigators believe they do have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden. It's not clear he's gonna be charged, but how large is this looming over the President, over Democrats, broadly?" 

"It was a big week here in Washington. So much news. I don't even know how you decided what to talk about this morning Kristen," Psaki said in her usual sarcastic and patronizing manner.

"I looked at a bunch of local front pages this morning," Psaki continued. "If you look at the front page in Nevada they're talking about Trump's rally there, and what it means for candidates, and turning out the vote."

"If you look at the front pages in Pennsylvania, they're talking about Mastriano, does he have a grassroots campaign or movement going? And obviously, Georgia is quite focused on every latest development in Herschel Walker," Psaki added.

"So the truth is, as much as there was so much news happening in Washington this week, it doesn't always translate and often doesn’t translate to what voters are talking about in states and I think that’s what we’re seeing currently," Psaki concluded. 

Psaki is only making NewsBusters point that the media is covering for Joe and Hunter Biden by not covering this story. Just because a handful of leftwing newspapers aren't covering the Hunter Biden scandal doesn't mean it's not a big story.

KRISTEN WELKER: Jen, to these revelations at the end of the week in The Washington Post that investigators believe they do have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden. It's not clear he's gonna be charged, but how large is this looming over the President, over Democrats, broadly? 

JEN PSAKI: Well, it was a big week here in Washington. So much news. I don't even know how you decided what to talk about this morning Kristen, but the truth is I looked at a bunch of local front pages this morning. And if you look at the front page in Nevada they're talking about Trump's rally there, and what it means for candidates, and turning out the vote. If you look at the front pages in Pennsylvania, they're talking about Mastriano, does he have a grassroots campaign or movement going? And obviously, Georgia is quite focused on every latest development in Herschel Walker. So the truth is, as much as there was so much news happening in Washington this week, it doesn't always translate and often doesn’t translate to what voters are talking about in states and I think that’s what we’re seeing currently.
