Psaki Invokes Trump ‘Fomenting Insurrection’ 5 TIMES in One Briefing

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pounded former President Donald Trump over his incitement of the January 6 Capitol insurrection, invoking the event 5 times during a single briefing.

At Wednesday’s White House daily briefing, the assembled press corps had one thing at the top of their collective mind: the blockbuster allegations about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, as reported in Bob Woodward’s book.

But Ms. Psaki stuck to a clear theme in fielding those questions, reminding reporters over and over again that when Milley was holding calls to reassure the Chinese government and (in Milley’s telling) reinforcing safeguards in nuclear launch protocols, Trump was “fomenting insurrection.”
