In Which Jen Psaki Randomly Doesn’t Say The J Word

H/T Leora Hyman

Jen Psaki may stutter and stumble as she plays cover the President’s oopsies, but she never utters the J word. Not once.

This is an incredible feat considering that she is addressing the topic of whether the shooting in the kosher deli in France targeted, um, JEWS.

She does however, come scarily close to calling the um, JEWS, a “NATION” but then manages an adroit 10 second stutter to transition to a different word (“na-th-th-th-th-the”) after which she then deftly skips past the word “KOSHER” (the na-th-th-th th-the grocery store”).

My transcript, in case, like me, you like to count the stutters:

Matt Lee: Yesterday uh, the President in his news conference raised some eyebrows by saying that the victims, of the, uh, shooting in Paris at the kosher deli were uh “random.” Um, your colleague at the White House apparently said something similar today. Um, doe. . . is that, really, I mean, does the Administration really believe that these peop-that the, the victims of this attack were, were not, uh singled out because they were of a particular faith?

Jen Psaki: Well as you know, I believe, if I remember the victims specifically there were, they were not all victims of one background or one nationality. So, I think what they mean by that is, I don’t know that they spoke to the targeting of the grocery store or that of the specific individuals who were impacted.

Matt Lee: Well. I mean, right, but when the Secretary went and paid respects to he was with a member of the Jewish community there.

Jen Psaki: Naturally, given that it’s the, the na-th-th-th th-the grocery store is one that uh,

Matt Lee: Well don’t you think that the target, maybe, even if all the victims, e-even if the victims came from different backgrounds, from different religions, different nationalities, was the target, the store itself was the target. Was it not? I mean. . .

Jen Psaki: But that’s different than the individuals being. I don’t have any more to really.

Matt Lee: All right, well, does the Administration believe this was an anti-Jewish, uh, uh attack on, an attack on the Jewish community in Paris?

Jen Psaki: I don’t think we’re going to speak on behalf of French authorities and what they believe was, uh, the situation at, at play here.

Matt Lee: Yeah, but if a guy goes into a, a, a, a, a kosher market and starts shooting it up, you know, he’s not looking for Buddhists is he?

Jen Psaki: Well again, Matt, I think it’s relevant that obviously the individuals in there who were shopping and working at the store. . .

Matt Lee: Who does one ex. . ., who does the Administration expect shops at a kosher, I mean I would like but you know, an attacker, going into a store that is clearly identified as being one of you know, as, as identified with one specific faith. I’m not sure I can, I understand how it is that you can’t say that this was a, that this is was, that this is not a targeted attack.

Jen  Psaki: I don’t have anything more on this for you Matt, this is a topic for the French government to address.

      1. He was the White House press secretary, not the director of the public affairs office in the State department. People skeptical of terHorst offered the explanation that he had been unprepared for the work load the press secretary carries and took the earliest opportunity to bail.

        It’s testament to the culture of the Republican Party at the time that Gerald Ford hired two press secretaries in succession who had no history of arguing in favor of Republican policies nor any Republican affiliation; they were just newsmen he knew.

    1. when it comes to jews….always

      the state dept is filled with rabid jew haters

      has been since at least the eisenhower administration

              1. And so in Russian. She is fortunate that almost nobody here knows the correct pronunciation of her name, that the initial “P” is actually silent. Then it would be far worse, because “saki” means “piss” in Russian (and, I believe, the Polish word is similar).

    Of course, both Psaki and Earnest later admitted that the attack was antisemitic, but it was too late to correct the record that the two had made fools of themselves. The Obama freakout continues.

  2. This was so pathetic- a new low in Psaki Bomb history. Even worse, she and Earnest both run to twitter after realizing how stupid they came off in their pressers and tried to claim that they ALWAYS said this was an anti semitic attack.

    1. She does not have much in the way of real skills and both she and her husband have fallen into the trade of Democratic staff hack. They did that to themselves. She has to do what she has to do to keep her job. In some other administration, this would not be emotionally or morally taxing. In this one, it is. The fish rots from the head down. One hopes she’ll get a job with some ad agency in 2017 and just have to hawk time-shares or paste wax and will not have to spend lengthy hours in the confessional over what she does at work during the week.

      1. She isn’t even good at what she does. This is a continuing pattern since she and Haarf began these roles when Kerry came to state. Her only training comes from her work as a campaign spinster but that’s a job where nobody really expects you to have any credibility. She is now in the Big Leagues- speaking on behalf of the SoS of the most powerful country in the world. Every word she says matters. It’s insane that they allow rank amateurs out there day after day after day.

      2. her job is to cover for obama….she does that

        had she said anything but what she did…she wouldve made the president look like a filthy jew hating bastard

  3. BREAKING NEWS

    OBAMA DECLARES THAT HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY WILL NO LONGER BE OBSERVED AS IT WAS JUST AN RANDOM ACT AGAINST A BUNCH OF FOLKS

    IT WILL BE REPLACED BY ISLAMAPHOBIC REMEMBRANCE DAY
