Biden’s former press secretary shares a creepy theory about why Republicans still support Trump
- Jen Psaki spoke about Republicans who she said wanted to be “close to power.”
- “Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he’ll die… Who knows what’s going on in their minds?
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki turned to “morbid” thoughts as he pondered why some Republicans continue to support Republican Donald Trump.
The Biden-slashed MSNBC host mused on the topic in an appearance on NBC’s “Morning Joe,” where she discussed former Trump AG Bill Barr’s decision to throw his support behind the 77-year-old Trump despite his theories about large-scale election fraud ‘ bull****.’
‘I think many of them want to be close to power. They also assume or have this thought in their heads that “maybe Donald Trump will go away,” Psaki said on the program.
“Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he will die. I don’t want to be too morbid, but maybe I mean he’s not a young man. Who knows what’s going on in their minds? They think, “Maybe I’m behind the Oval Office. Maybe I’m in the Oval Office.”
“Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he will die,” former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked to explain the leading Republicans who continue to support Donald Trump.
Psaki, who preceded Karine Jean-Pierre as press secretary to President Joe Biden, 81, applauded former state Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan for his decision to cross party lines to support her former boss, and wondered why more prominent Republicans aren’t doing the same.
Duncan criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Barr and New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, calling their reasoning “completely wrong.”
“There needs to be more Geoff Duncans,” said Psaki, a former Obama official who is launching a new book called “Say More.”
She denounced officials for embracing Trump’s chances of joining his vice presidential ticket or gaining a major spot if he retakes the White House, in a move highlighted by the U.S. presidential election. Washington Examiner.

A panel discussion on MSNBC analyzed why Bill Barr and others still support Trump
She said of GOP Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina: “That’s embarrassing to see. Cringey. I’ve watched it many times.’
But she was baffled by Barr’s reasoning after his criticism of Trump. Barr announced his decision after publicly breaking with Trump, saying he was more concerned about the risk of the “far left” under Biden.
“That man will not be in government again,” she said. “These are people who are afraid that the crowd will come against them.”
