On Monday’s installment of Morning Joe, former White House Press Secretary-turned-pundit Jen Psaki was called upon to share her thoughts on Biden’s speech about two bank failures that shook stocks on Wall Street and sent ripples through global markets.
But, instead of emphasizing the substance of Biden’s remarks — the president insisted Americans “should feel confident” after the biggest bank failures since 2008 — Psaki decided to make her point about the timing of his remarks. That’s where things went south.
“It’s important to note, President Biden does nothing at 9:00 AM,” Psaki emphasized — apparently not realizing that such a quip wouldn’t land the way she intended. “He is a night owl,” Psaki continued, “so the fact that he is doing this at 9:00 AM anyway speaks to how vital the White House recognizes it is for him to have his voice out there conveying that to the American public.”
