On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, apparently stung by criticism that she had evaded answering certain questions in the past by stating she would “circle back” with an answer at a later date, targeted “conservative Twitter.”
Grabien’s Tom Elliott compiled a supercut of edited video of Psaki insisting she would have to “circle back.” Elliott commented on January 26, “Summary of Jen Psaki presser thus far: ‘We’re going to need to circle back before we circle back to circle back on circling back so we can move forward with circling back and then we can circle back.”
Psaki responded,
“And last thing I want to do before I get to your questions: I often note I am going to circle back,” said Psaki. “I hate to disappoint conservative Twitter, but I am going to circle back on a number of things, as we often do directly.”
Last Friday, a reporter asked Psaki at a press briefing, “FEMA has requested active duty troops be used at vaccination centers when they get stood up across the country. Does the White House support that request?”
Psaki replied, “I did ask our team about this. You or someone else may have asked about this the other day, and I think I have something on it here, one moment.” She started rifling through her papers as she continued:
Thanks for your patience. Lots to say about COVID, no doubt about it. So let’s see. Let me talk to our team about it. I know I’ve seen that request from FEMA. Obviously part of our objective is ensuring that we have vaccinators on the ground. I know that’s not what you’re asking about, but also the ability to move materials and move vaccines. So we are tapping into any resource we can, but it’s more predominantly focused on a health and medical corps and the ability to get those people into communities. But I will check with our team and get you something more specific.
This prompted a comment from a member of “conservative Twitter,” Scott Adams, the artist and creator of the Dilbert comic strip: “Maybe Psaki could ask McEnany for some help on how to be organized.”
