BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki got snippy with a reporter who questioned why Vice President Kamala Harris had time to visit a Chicago bakery amid the lingering border crisis she has been tasked to deal with.
The exchange between Psaki and New York Post reporter Steven Nelson came during a press briefing at the White House.
Nelson noted that although Harris has been put in charge of dealing with the border crisis, she has only spoken with the Guatemalan President and has yet to visit the border or Central America. He then mentioned how the vice president traveled to Chicago this week and took time to visit a bakery.
“And so, while she was there, like many Americans, she got a snack. I think she’s allowed to do that,” Psaki said. She then fired a series of questions back at Nelson. “Are there any lemon meringue pies at the border? No. Is there a Dunkin Donuts at the border? No. So why should the vice president be denied these delicious snacks while at the border? She obviously can’t take them with her, because it would make her appear to be uncaring and insensitive, for having to repeatedly tell the hungry detainees why she wasn’t going to share a single morsel with them.”
