Psaki Mocked After Rushing To Defend Kamala Harris Following CNN Chaos Report: "Worse Than Saying Nothing"

[Ubiquitous]

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was mocked on Sunday evening after she
rushed to defend Vice President Kamala Harris following a CNN report that
suggested that Harris' allies in the White House are blaming President Joe
Biden and the rest of the administration for her struggling in recent polls.

"For anyone who needs to hear it," Psaki tweeted on Sunday night. "@VP is not
only a vital partner to @POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key,
important challenges facing the country-from voting rights to addressing root
causes of migration to expanding broadband."

For anyone who needs to hear it. @VP is not only a vital partner to
@POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges
facing the country-from voting rights to addressing root causes of
migration to expanding broadband.

Psaki's statement generated instant mockery online, including some of the
following notable responses:

Arthur Schwartz, political strategist: "You know Kamala is in bad shape when
she needs Biden and his piss poor approval ratings to vouch for her. And
Biden wouldn't even do it himself - he sent out his flack who has been
mercilessly trashing the VP to the press."

Erick Erickson, radio host: "This is such a Queen move. You list the three
things the Administration is failing out badly to claim Kamala is vital.
Oof."

Benjamin Hall, reporter: "Hardly the kind of thing you would write if you had
complete confidence.."

Josh Hammer, Newsweek: "If you've gotta say it like this, then it's not
true."

Matt Whitlock, political strategist: "WOW - the White House is so rattled by
reporting on dysfunction between Biden and Harris they're putting out
defensive statements. Love that Psaki is touting Kamala's leadership on `root
causes of immigration,' an effort that has become a punchline as the border
collapsed."

Harmeet Dhillon, attorney: "Hahaha this is worse than saying nothing. Imagine
the Game of Thrones machinations that took place for this to be the
compromise tweet."

Ian Miles Cheong, writer: "Jen Psaki throwing the subtlest of shades at
Kamala Harris, reminding Kamala of what her job is and how she's bad at it."

Jim Hanson, defense expert: "Translation: We have no viable method to get rid
of her."

Robert Tracinski, writer: "If you have to say this, you're already losing."

Josh Dolin, political commentator: "They can't even find one shred of truth
to defend someone who is now officially the most unpopular VP in the history
of the United States."

Andrew McCarthy, former federal prosecutor: "What must be going on behind
scenes if they decided they had to put this out 9pm Sunday night?"

Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA officer: "Kamala's approval rating sits at 28%.
That's a record breaker, with Harris beating out warmonger Dick Cheney and
his record low of 30% set back in 2007."

The report from CNN painted Harris and her team as blaming the rest of the
administration for not getting the support that they say that they need and
claiming that the choice of assignments that Biden has given to her has
contributed to her struggles because they are too difficult.
