Watch: Psaki Responds To Her New Nickname LOL

Daphne Moon 0 1 min read

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was forced to respond to Sen Ted Cruz’s new nickname for her. Cruz called Psaki Peppermint Patty during last week’s CPAC and reporter pressed Psaki to respond. In an effort to appear tough, Psaki basically said ‘I love it’ and I couldn’t help but laugh. I think you will get a chuckle out of it too.

“Senator Ted Cruz is speaking at CPAC, and you came up,” a reporter began.

“Oh?” Psaki responded.

“He called you quote/unquote ‘Peppermint Patty’ and has encouraged people to boo you,” the reporter continued, pressing Psaki for her reaction.

“Don’t tell him I like Peppermint Patty, so I’m not going to take it too offensively,” Psaki replied with a smile, prompting laughter from the press corps.

“Senator Cruz, I Like Peppermint Patty,” Psaki repeated, adding, “I’m a little tougher than that, but there you go.”

I’m sure she felt like it was a ‘tough’ response, but who can ignore how frustrated she looks as she claims to like the new nickname?

As I said above, Cruz gave Psaki her new nickname while speaking at the Florida CPAC where Cruz slammed the White House for dividing Americans and targeting individual voters.

‘You look at what happened with Joe Rogan – Joe Rogan, Jen Psaki,’ he said.

He waited for the crowd to respond.

‘Oh come on, Jen Psaki doesn’t get the Justin Trudeau treatment?’ he asked – and received those boos. ‘Peppermint Patty deserves some love!’.

The crowd booed Psaki and so they should. The White House Press Sec should be focused on government matters but instead has wasted time targeting voters like Joe Rogan for daring to speak out against tyrannical mandates and for alternative Covid treatments. She also pressured Spotify to remove Rogan’s podcast from their platform.

The Nets have slammed Cruz for suggesting members at the CPAC to boo the Press Sec, but really… Can you blame him?
