Jen Psaki trolled for saying Biden should appear on 'The View' instead of holding press conferences

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki suggested President Joe Biden would do well to appear on the ABC morning talk show 'The View', instead of speaking at press conferences, during her own appearance on the show on Monday, May 5.

Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin welcomed Psaki at the Hot Topics table to promote her book, 'Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World', which was to be released by Simon & Schuster the following day, according to the New York Post.

Why does Jen Psaki want Joe Biden on 'The View'?

Psaki came to the defense of the incumbent for being irregular at press conferences while on the show and said there were other means of communication for him to avail to better reach the masses.

“The benefit of the media environment right now — there’s a lot of challenges, but I’m going to start with the optimistic side — is that there are so many choices,” she said.

"When you’re communicating from the White House, I mean respect for freedom of speech and freedom of the press is important, but you’re also just really trying to communicate with the American people, right? So my view is he should come on ‘The View’ before he does a press conference," she claimed.

Referring to Biden's appearance on the 'Howard Stern Show' in March, Psaki continued, "I think press conferences are important, but I also think him doing Howard Stern, that’s an interview that reached a broader audience of people."

"If you’re in the White House, you’re not thinking about, am I checking the box on doing the most interviews? You’re thinking about, am I doing the most I can to communicate my message to the American people? That’s who I represent. So, I would say more Howard Stern, come on ‘The View’, you know, more ‘Smartless’ conversations where you’re having conversations about policy, but they’re real ones that people have in their kitchens,” she added.

Internet reacts to Jen Psaki's take

Netizens mocked the idea of the incumbent appearing on the ABC show, which is blatantly pro-Biden, instead of appearing for press conferences and serious interviews.

"She knows that @ABC is nothing more than the dems news agency as well," wrote a user.

"so they can coddle him?" inquired another.

"That's fine, nobody really watches the View except for a few rejects," jibed a third.

"He would fit right in that trash show," echoed a fourth.

"Makes sense, no chance of a difficult question. Just liberal Trump haters fawning over him while he lies," commented another.
