Jen Psaki exposed GOP hypocrisy with reference to Donald Trump on a recent MSNBC broadcast. Highlighting Republicans’ condemnation of Rep. George Santos over allegations of campaign funds misuse, she commended those who criticized Santos. As House Ethics Committee chair Michael Guest filed a resolution to expel Santos and a 23-count federal indictment was brought against him, Psaki lauded the vocal Republican response.
She emphasized the contrast between the criticism of Santos and the relative silence on allegations and evidence against Donald Trump. Drawing attention to Trump’s impeachments, referral to the Justice Department for criminal charges, civil trial accusations, and multiple indictments, she suggested that Republicans have not been as outspoken about these issues.
Psaki highlighted the endorsement of Trump by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who also criticized Santos, indicating inconsistency in Republican condemnation. The segment concluded with a video link for further context and an implicit critique of political double standards surrounding Republican condemnation and endorsement.
