Jen Psaki

If you're him, it's like...

Okay, why are we in this war?

You know, what are the basic questions, right?

Because as you all know, and I know, you sit in a meeting about policy, a policy decision is being made, and you're sitting there saying, okay, how are we going to explain this?

And you're pressure testing the things, right?

Why are we in this war?

Well, because there's an imminent threat based on what?

Also, the intel community is about to contradict us.

So like, you know, there's like that doesn't even work as a comms thing.

Right.

OK, we're going to go get the nuclear material.

Well, how?

Well, it's really difficult to get the nuclear material.

So that's not great.

So point is, it's like their messaging is terrible.

And obviously they should throw themselves in front of him every time he says the word excursion.

But yes, but it's terrible.

If I and I cannot I doubt they're pressure testing things in the same way we would have or other people who are running competent communications operations would have.

But they have very little to work with here because of all the reasons.

That's not our thing.
