On 5/2/2022, Joe and Jill Biden hosted a reception to celebrate Eid al-Fitr at the White House. Monday marked the last day of Ramadan 2022 and Muslims celebrated Eid al-Fitr or “the festival of breaking of the fast.” At the event, Biden inexplicably claims there’s never been a senator from Delaware.
On 5/2/2022, Joe Biden presented the Presidential Rank Awards to 230 winners from 37 federal agencies in a “Zoom” ceremony. A reporter asked Joe Biden whether he has made a decision on ‘forgiving’ student loan debt. “Not yet,’ Biden said as he shuffled away (only one single question was asked).
On 5/2/2022, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly defended Biden’s ‘Disinformation Governance Board’. “Nina Jankowicz, who is going to be in charge of the board. She has said that she thinks the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation. So, should we look forward in the future to her censoring internet traffic about the Hunter Biden laptop?” Doocy asked Psaki. Psaki defended Jankowicz and refused to answer the question.
Doocy pressed Psaki and asked her if the board will be censoring information that is not helpful to Biden. “Just in terms of what [Biden] wants out of this, does he want the people on this board to censoring information that is not helpful to him?” Doocy asked Psaki. Psaki said the governance board will work to preserve free speech, she insists they’re only “establish[ing] best practices” to ensure thwarting “disinformation” doesn’t harm civil liberties.
Doocy: The DHS Secretary is now talking about people on the terrorist watchlist crossing the border into the U.S. And he says, “We know where those 42 are.” Why isn’t he saying, “We know where those 42 are; they’re in jail”?
Psaki: Well, Peter, I would really point you to the Department of Homeland Security to get more follow-up details on his comments. I know he’s spoken extensively at a range of hearings and, obviously, on a range of Sunday shows — yesterday — including on Fox, I believe.
Doocy: So, then what is the President’s priority? Would it be stopping potential terrorist attacks or letting these migrants come in?
Psaki: Well, again, I think as we noted just a couple of weeks ago when there was reporting about the number of individuals who were on the watchlist being stopped at the border, that that was the Border Patrol doing their jobs, that was the system working …
Doocy: so if it takes 19 people to carry out the September 11th attacks, what do you guys think 42 people on a terrorist watchlist might be capable of?
Psaki: Again, Peter, our — the number one job of the President of the United States, the Vice President, and certainly the Secretary of Homeland Security is to keep the American people safe. And I think a lot of this reporting you’re referencing is an indication that they’re doing their jobs and doing exactly that.
Doocy: Does the President know that DHS is putting together this Disinformation Governance Board?
Psaki: Well, Peter, I think I would note — and I’m not sure if this has been in your reporting yet — but this is a continuation of work that was done under the prior administration — under the Trump administration … This is the kind of apparatus that’s working to address disinformation.
Doocy: But just in terms of what the President wants out of this, does he want the people on this board to start censoring information that is not helpful to him?
Psaki: Well, let me be clear on exactly what this board does or what the work they’re doing does. And in their announcement, which is publicly available on the Department of Homeland Security website for anyone to read, it says, quote, “The primary mission is to establish best practices to ensure that efforts to understand and respond to disinformation are done in ways that protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, and the right to free speech.”
Doocy: But — okay. There’s this woman, Nina Jankowicz, who is going to be in charge of the board. She has said that she thinks the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation. So, should we look forward in the future to her censoring Internet traffic about the Hunter Biden laptop?
Psaki: I think I noted exactly what the objective of the board is, including continuing the work of the prior administration. And the woman you noted has extensive experience and has done extensive work addressing disinformation. She has testified before Congress, testified in Europe. She has done — worked closely with the Ukrainians and has unique expertise, especially at this moment we’re facing.
Jankowicz previously said the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinfo.
Psaki says Biden wore a mask before the White House Correspondents Dinner, but not in room with hundreds of people.
