WATCH: Psaki Dodges Questions About Biden’s Mental State After Terrorists Kill 13 US Troops
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked by reporters to comment on the President’s mental state this week; saying he was “somber” and “outraged” after terrorists killed at least 13 service members in Afghanistan.
“How is he? How is his mood? How is he dealing with all the incoming information, how was he in asking the questions to military commanders?” asked one reporter.
“Putting the lives of service men and women at risk, those decisions that you have to make way heavily on him. Any day when you lose service members may be the worst day of your presidency,” said Psaki.
“He was somber, as he said, outraged at these terrorists taking the lives of service members,” she added.

An image of President Biden hunched at his podium went viral on social media Thursday after the Commander-in-Chief spoke with reporters following the terror blast.
“Do you bear any responsibility for the way that things have unfolded in the last two weeks?” asked Fox News’ Peter Doocy.
“I bear responsibility, fundamentally, for all that’s happened… You know as well as I do that a former president made a deal with the Taliban that he would get all American forced out of Afghanistan by May 1…” said Biden.
