In a scathing criticism, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki lambasted Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for prioritizing his concerns about a scene in the new “Barbie” movie over the ongoing issue of Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) blocking military promotions. Psaki, who previously served as the White House press secretary under President Biden, highlighted Tuberville’s actions, which have led to a lack of confirmed leadership in the Marine Corps. Tuberville’s protest stems from the Pentagon’s provision of assistance to service members who seek abortions outside of their home state.
While Tuberville’s actions have significant implications for the military, Cruz and other Republicans have seemingly fixated on a different matter. Psaki pointed out that they are more focused on the film’s portrayal of a fake map, which appears to support China’s claims to portions of the South China Sea. Psaki pointed out the stark contrast between the importance of military leadership and concerns about a fictional cartoon map.
Responding to the controversy, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. Film Group stated in a Variety article that the map was not intended to convey any political statement. The spokesperson clarified that the map is a child-like crayon drawing, representing Barbie’s imaginary journey from Barbie Land to the real world.
In conclusion, Psaki’s criticism highlights the misplaced priorities of Cruz and other Republicans, who seem to be more concerned about a cartoon map in a doll movie while neglecting the urgent need for qualified military leaders.
