Republican Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders has slammed outgoing White House Press Secretary over the Biden administration’s “mind-boggling hypocrisy.”
Sanders denounced President Joe Biden’s White House over its failure to condemn Democrat activists who are targetting Supreme Court justices’ homes.
“It’s truly mind-boggling to see the hypocrisy of the left,” Sanders said.
“I was constantly asked to condemn every action that ever took place anywhere in the country and yet, this White House never seems to step up and do that.
“The good thing is that we have seen most of these justices through their confirmation process try to be intimidated and they didn’t back down.
“They stuck to their guns.
“And I hope they will continue to do that.
“Hold their resolve and push forward and that we will see every life in this country protected,” Sarah said.
“Do you think that progressive activists that are now planning protests outside some of the justices’ houses are extreme?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Psaki at a briefing.
“Peaceful protest? No, peaceful protest is not extreme,” Psaki said.
“Some of these justices have young kids,” Doocy fired back.
“Their neighbors are not all public figures.
“So would the president think about waving off activists who want to go into residential neighborhoods in Virginia and Maryland?”
Psaki said, “I think our view here is that peaceful protests — there’s a long history in the United States in the country of that.
“And we’ve certainly encouraged people to keep it peaceful and not resort to any level of violence.”
Doocy said: “These activists posted a map with the home addresses of the Supreme Court justices.
“Is that the kind of thing the president wants to help your side make their point?”
Psaki said: “The president’s view is that there’s a lot of passion, a lot of fear, a lot of sadness from many, many people across this country about what they saw in that leaked document.
“We obviously want people’s privacy to be respected. We want people to protest peacefully if they want to protest.
“That is certainly what the president’s view would be.”
Doocy pressed Psaki, who said.
“I don’t have an official US government position on where people protest.
“We want it, of course, to be peaceful, and certainly, the president would want people’s privacy to be respected.
“The president, for all those women, men, others who feel outraged, who feel scared, who feel concerned, he hears them, he shares that concern and that horror that he saw in that draft opinion.
“Ensure it’s peaceful,” she said.
“Have your voice heard peacefully.
“We should not be resorting to violence in any way, shape, or form.”
