The political landscape continues to twist and turn like a roller coaster, and this time it seems even Jen Psaki, the queen of evasive answers, has taken a stab at the faltering Kamala Harris campaign. Since the dust settled on Donald Trump’s emphatic win, it appears that the Democrats are scrambling, and Psaki’s recent critiques only highlight the party’s disarray as it tries to grapple with reality.
As the former White House press secretary and now cozy MSNBC host, Psaki has been entrenched in a role of defending and deflecting the myriad of failures that have emerged since the Biden administration assumed office. She’s ideal for the job—being adept at talking in circles and engaging in leftist rhetoric while attempting to shield her party from the harsh light of accountability. But even the most faithful Democrats can only spin narratives for so long before the ship starts taking on serious water.
As the Screw Turns: Now Even Jen 'Circle Back' Psaki Knifes the Kamala Campaign in the Back https://t.co/J0YXpmGjD7

Her latest comments reveal a critical shift; she took aim at Harris for choosing to campaign with Liz Cheney as the final act of her presidential bid—and good grief, who thought that was a brilliant idea? Psaki’s assertion that partnering with a former Republican in a losing effort was a poor strategy points to an internal acknowledgment of the party’s cataclysmic failures. The Democrats’ attempt to present an elite agenda, one that seems divorced from the realities of everyday American life, has backfired spectacularly. It appears the once-loyal defenders are now part of the chorus loudly singing the praises of “we told you so.”
Furthermore, Psaki’s mocking remarks about the overly academic tone of the campaign may just reflect a realization that the Democrats’ disconnect has finally hit a tipping point. They’ve relied on lofty ideals and fancy terms that mean little to hardworking Americans. The left’s penchant for elitism doesn’t resonate with those who are simply trying to make ends meet. If the message doesn’t synchronize with the electorate’s needs, the results are bound to be catastrophic—which they certainly were in the last election cycle.
What’s even more hilarious is how Psaki believes she’s enlightened enough to critique the party’s failures from inside her cozy bubble. The irony is thick; she spent years contributing to the very narrative that led to their downfall. The spectacle of a high-profile political figure like her dissecting a failed campaign is akin to watching a sinking ship with the captain still insisting everything is fine while the lifeboats have already been thrown overboard.
In the end, the Democrats are left with little more than a cacophony of blame, finger-pointing, and the realization that the tide is most definitely against them. The comedic value of Psaki’s critiques serves as a stark reminder of the party’s downward spiral, unfolding in real-time as they scramble to grasp the shattered remnants of their credibility.
