As Twitchy reported, new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave her first briefing to the White House press corps Wednesday and, despite all the assurance we were going to get the unvarnished truth, she danced around the question of whether President Biden supports the Hyde Amendment, on which he flip-flopped more than once during the campaign.
That was a pretty tough question for Biden’s and Psaki’s first day, but another question was more in line with what to expect over the next four years: Would Biden be keeping the color scheme for Air Force One or would he select another one?

Finally. Someone needs to ask these tough questions.

It's either that or gender studies overseas. Pick one.

Let’s let the man get settled before we start hitting him with the hard questions.

Who asked that question?

We honestly don’t know, but we’d like to.
Psaki sounds like she's going to give that reporter a doggie treat for being so well-behaved.

Breitbart’s Joel Pollak was watching as well:
So… @PressSec Jen Psaki lies right off the bat, claiming the “travel ban” was a “Muslim ban.” It was not. So much for @JoeBiden’s commitment to truth… just a few hours ago in his Inaugural.
— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) January 21, 2021
After all that “lies for power and profit” rhetoric at the Capitol today, it is … entirely expected that Biden would direct Jen Psaki to repeat one of the most easily debunked lies of the last four years and the 2020 campaign https://t.co/uuRu1n3CIG
— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) January 21, 2021
So much for Unity™. @PressSec Jen Psaki dodges a question about the impeachment trial, saying @JoeBiden expects Congress to do its duty. So President Biden is ducking a clear opportunity to provide Unity™ and leadership, allowing a pointless and divisive Senate trial to proceed
