Once again, the deceitful tactics of Democrats are laid bare for all to see, this time coming from none other than Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary. She recently published a book in which she audaciously claims that Joe Biden didn’t glance at his watch during a solemn ceremony honoring the service members who tragically lost their lives during his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In an ironic twist that could only be concocted by those on the left, Psaki insists that her false claim is an attempt to combat ‘misinformation’. Even liberal news outlets, usually quick to defend their own, can’t ignore such blatant falsehoods and are calling her out.
Axios reports:
Psaki’s new book falsely recounts Biden’s watch check in troop ceremony
Jen Psaki’s new book contains a brazen lie: it states that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 — a claim contradicted by news photos and firsthand accounts of Gold Star families.
This matters because: In TV ads and social media posts, Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly used images of Biden checking his watch during the ceremony to highlight the president’s lack of empathy.
– This is yet another example of current and former Biden administration officials trying to downplay or misrepresent controversial episodes from the Afghanistan withdrawal ahead of the 2024 election…
– Psaki, who now works as a star anchor at MSNBC and describes herself as a journalist, writes that Biden’s critics were engaged in “misinformation” and used the image to make “him appear insensitive, concerned only about how much time had passed.”
It’s not misinformation if there’s video evidence. This tweet clearly shows Biden checking his watch:

Gold Star families are rightly incensed.
The Daily Mail reports:
Families of the troops killed in Afghanistan have expressed their anger at Psaki for denying an incident they witnessed firsthand…
The group is calling on Psaki’s book publisher and her employer MSNBC to address this blatant lie.
‘We demand Simon & Schuster and MSNBC hold Ms. Psaki accountable for her dishonest attack on Gold Star families,’ they concluded.
Remember, this is not the first time Psaki has been caught out in a lie:

The Gold Star families should consider legal action. Such deceit can’t be left unchallenged.
