She doesn't have to give a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer. She gave a much more informative answer as to Biden's view of how he will continue to work with the governor, the people of NY need help while leaving Cuomo's problematic issues up to others to sort out.

Psaki went on to say that "there, of course, will be a process," which she said will include investigations, adding that "we’ll leave that to others to determine, the appropriate law enforcement authorities to determine how that path is going to move as we look forward."

Looks like they are starting the bus up to me, with CNN at the wheel.
They are reporting the news/current events.

When Fox News reported news about Trump that he didn't like or you didn't like, did you believe that they were throwing Trump under the bus?
They weren't they were just doing what the media is supposed to do, report the news.

I'm sorry but when someone does things 99% one way then 1% another we don't expect but that history will continue to (mostly) repeat itself.

She talked and said nothing. The reporter even repeated the question and still she talked and said nothing. This is probably going to be the trend in this adminstration. Wonder if the MSM will get frustrated and start critically looking at what the Biden administration is actually doing?

See, it would have been so easy, if Psaki had just done it the Trump administration way and denied that Biden ever said anything about it. But she obviously was unwilling to lie about it, as Trump's people always did.

Yep. It's going to be a different presidency.

Well the MSM was "addicted" to attacking Trump so bad that even stupid things were fair game for extreme outrage it may be they do start "eating their own" soon if they cannot come up with another "orange man bad" rant to exploit.

But instead she talked, dithered, said nothing and it became a story anyway.

Yep, the new boss same as the old boss.....the more things change......

Someone tried a "gotcha" question and it got fluffed over, with no one really paying much attention, even with the far right trying to peddle it everywhere. Why? Because she didn't just blatantly lie about it. Trump and his people never realized why that was so damaging to him and his administration. If you try to talk around it, without lying, that's something everyone expects. Lying when everyone knows they are lying is not what people expect. Yep. It's going to be a different presidency. The new boss isn't a liar like the old boss.....the more things change...... the more it looks like America,again.

LoL, because she refused to comment on the THOUGHTS of Biden and instead gave information about what he was doing with Gov. Cuomo and that he was leaving Cuomo's problems for the appropriate people to deal with.

This same Fox reporter tried to get her to comment on Biden's view of the impeachment before the trial was completed. Her answer was that Biden was leaving the impeachment process to Congress who has the authority over impeachments.
It was rather funny and I don't know that I could have been so patient as she was. This reporter and a couple of others asked this same question, worded differently, to try to get a different answer. They didn't.

Of course she could have said I will ask him and get back to you. The Cuomo story is big news and given Biden's previous comments of accolade to Cuomo he should have some thoughts about it.....even if someone has to tell him what they are.....

Not everyone thinks lying is a problem. But most Americans do. And they know the difference between spin and outright lies. It's one of the major reasons Trump lost.

I hear the Biden administration is looking for speech writers......

Funny you should mention that...


Indeed.

Fortunately, there's still Ted ("my kids made me do it") Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Moscow Mitch, not to mention that the QAnon ditz from Georgia.

Plenty of entertainment for everyone.
