Jen Psaki given chance to spin Kamala Harris' lousy approval by answering softball question that quickly fails the reality test

POLITICO Live spoke with White House press secretary Jen Psaki, and they couldn’t have lobbed a bigger, slower softball at her than this question about VP Kamala Harris’ approval numbers:

Do you think Kamala Harris is receiving more criticism because she’s the first woman & woman of color to serve as vice president? White House Press Secretary @jrpsaki answers with a resounding "yes" and adds the criticism has been "harsher" because of Harris' identity.#RuleWithUs https://t.co/vbRt9pbGEB

It’s the predictable WH/media spin job, but reality begs to differ.

Well. Leaving the primaries with zero votes… not promising is it? And it shows.

Such a cop out response. Maybe it’s the fact she has done literally nothing

Biden had promised a “woman of color” would be his running mate, and that’s one promise he delivered on.

Kamala received 0 delegates in the 2020 democratic primaries. Her own party said she sucks..where was this energy then? https://t.co/Q1U5AVpnlK

No, she’s receiving criticism because she’s a train wreck. https://t.co/qSZdazMGIA

The media didn’t report it that way back then. Weird, right?
