PSAKI DOUBLES DOWN: Says Biden Deserves Full Vaccine Credit, Suggests Trump Responsible For ‘Half A Million’ Deaths

"In a rare occurrence, a reporter posed a real question of Psaki who was clearly caught off guard.

Reporter: “The president has been pretty critical of the prior administration’s handling of this pandemic, saying you inherited a mess here. But when it comes to vaccinations, you are following some of the same playbook here. So does the prior administration deserve some credit for laying the groundwork?”"

Psaki: “I don’t think anyone deserves credit when half a million people in the country have died of this pandemic. So what our focus is on and what the president’s focus is on when he came into office just over a month ago was ensuring that we had enough vaccines, we have– that we are going to have them now, we had enough vaccinators, and we had enough vaccine locations to get this pandemic under control.”

She added:

“There’s no question and all data points to the fact that there were not enough of any of those things when he took office. We are open-eyed about the challenge we continue to live under, and that’s why he has been focused every single day in doing everything possible to get the pandemic under control. But those were– there were shortages in all those areas which were preventing us from moving forward on getting the pandemic under control.”
