Psaki Lies, Tells TikTok Russia “Hacked” 2016

CLAY: The Biden White House has realized that one way to mobilize young people is by trying to reach them through TikTok where, frankly, let’s be honest, Buck, they’re not as likely to experience conflicting ideas because they get in the algorithm. They trust some of these TikTok influencers who can have millions of followers. So the Biden White House has been briefing…

This was initially a Washington Post story. Last week, they were briefing TikTokers about what was going on in Ukraine. And as part of that briefing, I believe we have audio of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki telling them, “Oh, of course Russia hacked into our election in 2014 and in 2016.” Listen to this.

PSAKI: The best antidote to disinformation is the truth, right? And one of the big steps taken and made a decision to take is to declassify information over the course of the last several months. If you look back at 2014 — and, frankly, even 2016 — when Russia invaded Ukraine and then in 2016 when they, you know, hacked our election here, we did not do that, right? We did not declassify information.

BUCK: Yeah. That’s a lie. But, anyway, I guess no one cares.

CLAY: And what’s amazing too is almost no one talks about it, Buck, is she lied about the Hunter Biden stuff like crazy!

BUCK: Like crazy. All the time. Amazing.
