Jen Psaki Warns Dems Not To Fall For This 'Manufactured Panic' By GOP
HuffPost
The MSNBC host said she worries the party will reach a "wrong sweeping" conclusion while "soul-searching" after the election.
MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday spotted how President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans have amplified “bad-faith attacks” toward the transgender community as she warned Democrats not to fall for their “noise.”
“It’s important not to yield to manufactured panic and to align with the actual facts before making sweeping claims,” Psaki said.
“Echoing and adopting the panic from the other side is not leading. It’s not meeting people where they are. It’s simply falling prey to right-wing propaganda without checking the facts first.”
Psaki, a former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden, declared that Democrats have “a lot of soul-searching” to do although she worries some party members could reach “wrong sweeping conclusions” on issues related to trans rights.
Republicans spent nearly $215 million on anti-trans TV ads in this year’s election, data from Ad Impact shows.
