LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' journalist and podcast host Megyn Kelly didn't mince words while addressing former White House press secretary Jen Psaki's handling of President Joe Biden's watch-checking incident during a military memorial service in 2021.

Psaki, who recently released her memoir titled 'Say More: Lessons From Work, the White House and the World,' faced backlash for her portrayal of the incident.

Jen Psaki's account of Biden's watch incident sparks controversy

In her book, Psaki attempted to downplay the controversy surrounding Biden's actions, claiming that he checked his watch only after the ceremony had concluded. "Moments later, he and the First Lady headed toward their car," she wrote in the memoir.

She labeled any contrary beliefs as "misinformation" and accused critics of spinning the incident to make the President "appear insensitive".

But Kelly had a lot to say about this.

"In her book, she decided it might be a good idea to describe and rehabilitate President Biden’s incident at Anderson Air Force Base when the remains of our fallen soldiers in Afghanistan were returned after his debacle of a withdrawal from that war," Kelly remarked.

"The name of her book is ‘Say More: Lessons From Work, the White House and the World.’ And I guess her lessons are when something bad happens, you just lie about it — and that makes perfect sense, given that she was his press secretary and now she works for MSNBC."

Kelly vehemently criticized Psaki's account, labeling it as a deliberate attempt to "lie" about the situation. She expressed outrage over Psaki's portrayal of Biden's actions, particularly considering the sensitivity of the event honoring fallen soldiers.

"He was sick and tired of having to stand there and honor the fallen soldiers at Dover. We’ve talked about it repeatedly on the show," Kelly said of the 2021 incident, adding, "And she has the nerve to try to launder that moment in advance of an election by saying it wasn’t until the whole thing was over. It is a lie and it is a material lie she told in that book."

Megyn Kelly lashes out at Jen Psaki for not issuing an apology

According to Psaki, the details regarding the number of times Biden checked his watch will be removed from future reprints and the ebook version of her memoir. However, Kelly argued that this action doesn't rectify the situation, emphasizing the lack of apology to Gold Star families who felt insulted by Psaki's portrayal of the incident.

"This is the same person who a week ago was out there lambasting Kristi Noem for lying in her notebook. At least she just lied about a dumbass meeting with a world leader. It’s dumb to tell but has no consequence," Kelly emphasized.

"This is a middle finger to the Gold Star families and there’s been no apology. It’s absolutely egregious. And by the way, no apology. Zero apology to the Gold Star families, six of whom spoke to the New York Post and have demanded a retraction and an apology from her. Nothing."

Internet reacts to Psaki's memoir and watch-checking incident

Social media users have been quick to voice their skepticism and criticism regarding Psaki's memoir.

One user questioned, "Why would ANYONE believe HER?"

Another said, "Thanks Megyn for bringing up Jen Psaki book there’s no excuse for her blatant lies .."

One replied, "Psaki book should be called the Circle Back clown show."

Another said, "Obviously lies pay!"

One user commented, "No surprise; she has been lying since she took on the job of press secretary."
