Twitter explodes after former Biden spox praises president for working at 9 am – English SiapTV.com

Twitter users expressed shock, outrage and amusement after former White House press secretary Jen Psaki applauded her former boss, President Biden, for making a public appearance at 9 a.m. despite usually “doing nothing” at the start of work. day.

“It is important to note that President Biden does nothing at 9 am. He’s an owl,” Psaki told MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday. “So the fact that he’s doing this at 9:00 anyway speaks volumes about how important it is for the White House to recognize the importance of his voice.”

Psaki was referring to Biden on Monday when he talked about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Speaking from the White House, Biden said the US banking system remains secure, customers will have access to their money, and taxpayers will not depend on the administration’s actions to contain the collapse.

Chad Gilmartin, deputy spokesman for Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, D-Cal, was quick to note Psaki’s comments on Twitter.

Social media users have also seized on Psaki’s remarks, with some ridiculing them and others criticizing the president for not working when most Americans have already begun their workdays.

“I can’t laugh. Is he being praised for showing up during regular business hours? The bar is on the floor,” wrote Abigail Maron, director of communications for Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

“The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES does not start work until 9 am?! This is not normal,” added author and founder of ACT for America Bridget Gabriel.

“Be confident in America,” Trending Politics co-owner Colin Rugg tweeted. “Jen Psaki says Biden never does anything at 9 a.m., so his three-minute speech goes a long way and shows he’s serious about bank failures.”

“Jen Psaki thinks Americans can take solace that Joe Biden can deliver a 5-minute speech at 9am,” Kevin McMahon tweeted Townhall.com Video Czar.

Actor and comedian Terrence Williams posted a video of the viral reaction to Psaki’s comments, expressing bewilderment that Biden should be praised for his 9 a.m. work on a non-holiday Monday.

“SORRY ME,” he tweeted. “The American people should thank Joe Biden for waking up and working at 9am. He has to get up in the morning working for us.”

“That’s how I know he’s not running the country,” he continued. “God, we need a new president”

Some Twitter users called Biden “lazy”, asking if he was working and noting that many Americans already start their workday at 9 am.

Others were quick to point out a 2021 CNN story that seemed to directly contradict Psaki’s claim that Biden was a “night owl.” According to the article, Biden “rather goes to bed early.”

The CNN story, combined with Psaki’s remarks, raises the question of how many hours a day Biden works if he goes to bed early and starts work late.

One Twitter user joked that the media will now start writing articles about “why 17 hours of sleep a night is a sign that you are a strong leader.”
