White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki deflected growing criticism surrounding the Biden administration’s handling of unused school funds included in the CoVID relief package; saying they still need more with $60 billion in the bank.
“You guys have made it very clear, the $130 billion for K-12 is crucial to opening schools. But $60-65 billion in past proposals has been mostly unspent. What are you doing to ensure that gets out the door?” asked one reporter.
“My understanding is that the funding will be spent in the next couple of weeks. We’re trying to look ahead, as to what are the needs for public schools across the country!” said Psaki. “Opening more schools is still the President’s goal.”

C’MON MAN! Press Sec Says Biden Allowed to Violate His Own Mask Mandate to ‘Celebrate a Historic Day!’
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki deflected criticism of Joe Biden for refusing to wear a face mask on federal property Wednesday; saying he was simply “celebrating a historic day” when violating his own mask mandate.
“Why weren’t President Biden and members of the Biden family masked on federal lands last night, if he signed an Executive Order that mandates masks on federal lands at all times?” asked one reporter.
“He was celebrating an historic day in our country!” said Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
“Was that a good example for people watching?” fired-back the journalist.
“I think the power of his example is signing 25 Executive Orders!” said Psaki.
