The White House Press Secretary mocked Ted Cruz today when she was asked by a Fox News reporter about Biden’s vaccine mandate reducing the workforce and contributing to the airline problem. This from therightscoop.com.
As CSPAN notes in their tweet, Psaki said “I know world-renowned business, travel, and health expert Senator Ted Cruz has made that point, but I wouldn’t say that is widely acknowledged or echoed by business leaders…by health experts…”

The Fox News reporter didn’t mention Cruz in her question, but Psaki decided to mock Cruz anyway, perhaps assuming that because it’s Fox News, Cruz was the one behind the question.
Ted Cruz took to Twitter a few minutes ago and responded to Psaki’s mocking:
“So now Biden WH is launching snarky insults from the WH press room. Ok, Jen, I just spoke with a very credible & senior source in aviation who told me the following:
– a few days ago, there was a “sick out” of air traffic controllers in Jacksonville over vaccine mandates;
– As a result, out of 33 air traffic controllers ONLY THREE showed up to work;
– That resulted in cascading flight cancellations.True or False, Jen? Or do you just do petty insults & ignore actual facts?”
2/2 cont.

True or False, Jen? Or do you just do petty insults & ignore actual facts?#ThanksJoe

Wow. If only 30 air traffic controllers protesting caused 2,000 flights to be canceled, just imagine what’s going to happen when 30% of pilots get fired in December. Christmas travel is going to be an absolute nightmare.
Is this inappropriate behavior and nasty wordplay by a White House Press Secretary or what? To more simply form an analogy, I prefer to merely ask, ‘If the tables were turned 180 degrees, what would we have?’
Well, we’d have a press corps ruthlessly destroying a press secretary—and the entire political party—for both inappropriate behavior and snarky inappropriate wordplay.
Final note: What a damn shame it is for the entire country that the U.S. Congress continues to violate the First Amendment and the “press” continues to neglect their responsibility of reporting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
For, I believe, in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no laws…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…” specifically the word ‘abridging’ means in its full intent ‘not to shorten, curtail, or alter.’ Equal emphasis, I also believe, is on ‘abridging’ and ‘make no laws.’
Therefore, in essence, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth MUST BE told. And a large element of the press corps is not doing this and likely never has done this. Likewise Congress—the corrupt left as well as the emasculated right—are not fulfilling their responsibility of not “abridging (or not allowing the abridging of) the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
What say you Def-Con News readers?
