White House Admin Found A Strange Way To Cope With The Media

Reporters can be rude and annoying, sure. Sometimes they even need to be reminded of their place in the political world, especially if they do not report the truth. However, to go as far as to compare them to patients in an insane asylum is just nutty.

However, that is exactly what White House press secretary Jen Psaki thinks of them. She admitted that she treats White House reporters as if she was an orderly in an asylum.

“[W]hen reporters are getting really loud, or they’re starting to ask crazy questions, I just slow down my pace, and I talk very quietly, and I treat them like I’m an orderly sometimes in an insane asylum,” she said during an interview on Saturday with National Public Radio (NPR).

“Not that they’re people in an insane asylum,” Psaki continued. “But, sometimes, that’s all you have to do to cool yourself down inside.”

She added, “[W]hen I am not going to tell them anymore, I say, I don’t have anything more for you on that. So that’s my tip. Use it with boyfriends, whatever. That’s fine.”

“Whenever I’m having a low day, I kind of — I have from time to time pulled up that picture of Sean Spicer — the video of him shimmying in that shirt,” Psaki also said, making a joke about the former White House press secretary. “It’s nothing personal. I don’t wish him ill. But that shirt was pretty amazing.”
