Pinko Commie Red Star Hat Wearing Psaki, Tries To Label People Commies... War Mania Leads White House To Condemn US Senator As Russian Propagandist https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/03/war-mania-leads-white-house-to-condemn... Jen Psaki accused Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of "parroting Russian talking points" for sending a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken questioning the drive for war. "Well, if you are just digesting Russian misinformation and parroting Russian talking points, you are not aligned with long-standing, bipartisan American values," Psaki told reporters at a regular White House briefing. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/resurfaced-photo-psaki-biden-soviet-union https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/02/jen-psaki-warns-of-russian-pro... https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2020/12/02/owning-it-jen-psaki-says-anyone... Resurfaced photo shows Biden press sec Jen Psaki wearing hammer and sickle hat with Russian official.

Psaki added: "That applies to Senator Hawley, but it also applies to others who may be parroting the talking points of Russian propagandist leaders." The word "others" is ominous. It can be taken to mean any other member of the U.S. Congress, U.S. independent media or ordinary Americans. Such vilification is designed to take agency away from American elected officials, journalists or private citizens — who are schooled in the American world view and not Russia’s — to think for themselves, examine evidence and come to their own conclusion. Smearing government critics as agents of a foreign power is the oldest trick in the book. Anti-Vietnam War protestors were labelled apologists for Hanoi and critics of the 2003 invasion of Iraq as Saddam stooges. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/2022-02-01%20Hawle... Hawley’s letter to Blinken was actually hawkish in tone, talking about Russian 'threats' — hardly a Moscow "talking point." He wrote: "The United States has an interest in maintaining Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. And we should urgently deliver to Ukraine assistance it needs to defend itself against Russia’s military buildup and other threats. Our interest is not so strong, however, as to justify committing the United States to go to war with Russia over Ukraine’s fate. Rather, we must aid Ukraine in a manner that aligns with the American interests at stake and preserves our ability to deny Chinese hegemony in the Indo-Pacific." The White House putdown of Hawley shows how the administration is shutting down debate on the issue most deserving of it in a so-called democracy, namely the question of peace or war. That the White House target is a member of the Senate, which is constitutionally charged with declaring war, is even more alarming.
