Whoever said there are no bad questions never watched a White House press briefing. But with Press Secretary Jen Psaki there are always good answers. And today she outdid herself, answering not one but two asinine questions with snappy one-liners that couldn't be any more concise. And, at least with the first example, any more hilarious.
In the first clip below, at which I literally laughed out loud, the passive-aggressive reporter tries asking a roundabout gotcha question, but it isn't even factually correct. "Does the president believe that a 15-week-old unborn baby is a human being?" Rather than getting sucked into a fetus-vs-baby no-win back and forth, Psaki cuts right to the chase with one of my favorite Psaki bombs ever. "Are you asking me if the president supports a woman's right to choose? He does." She then immediately points to another reporter. "Go ahead."
In the second ludicrous question below, from the same reporter (isn't this supposed to be Peter Doocy's job?), Psaki is asked, "Why didn't he [Biden] give Putin a list of targets inside of Russia that the US would target if another cyberattack does take place inside the US?" Yes, this was a real question. And without laughing, crying, or screaming, Psaki answered it like the straight-forward pro she is. "Because we don't preview our punches."
