Yesterday, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki triggered an avalanche of mockery and ridicule after tweeting the administration’s hope that the Kremlin would “live by the promise of the hashtag.”

According to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, today Psaki said questions she was getting in response to her “promise of hashtag” tweet turned the day into “wacky Friday”:

"It's wacky Friday in here," said @statedeptspox of some of the questions she was getting about her #UnitedforUkraine tweet last night.

Sounds like a good hash tag game – especially since the State Dept. is involved. #WackyFriday RT @sarahrstevenson: Happy Wacky Friday y'all!
