Jen Psaki’s probably tired of justifying mask mandates, but hey, it still beats trying to explain and defend the Biden administration’s free crack pipe program, right?
REPORTER: "Does the CDC run the risk of becoming irrelevant in the minds of many Americans given that their states are moving along ahead without them?"
PSAKI: "I don't think the federal experts on health and medical advice should be irrelevant to Americans…" pic.twitter.com/JWHeV6F05M

Who counts as a “federal expert,” Jen? Do you? Because this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense:

PSAKI: Parents, teachers, and students should still wear a mask in schools regardless of what any state has decided. pic.twitter.com/PVA7puYbEL

CNN's MJ Lee: "Given that the CDC guidelines still remains that masking is recommended in schools, if you are a parent, a teacher, a student living in a state where that is no longer recommended, should you still follow the CDC guidelines?"
Psaki: "Yes." pic.twitter.com/EZT6ZVqFXh

Allow us to present an alternative opinion:

That is the correct opinion.

Forget it; she’s rolling. Sans mask, of course:
What am I missing here? CDC says "Who Should Wear a Mask?" "indoor" "Fully vaccinated and in an area with substantial or high transmission"
Washington DC currently both substantial community spread and high transmission. Why does @PressSec @jrpsaki not wear a mask at briefings? https://t.co/3restTctpc pic.twitter.com/lnYyKjWuoY

Where’s your mask, Jen? Or would a muzzle be more suitable?
I know we’re having a lot of curriculum fights and I hate to add to our plates, but maybe we need a requirement about the definitions of banned, mandated, and optional. https://t.co/hPDzIRsd8v

Insane, dishonest, insanely dishonest …
This is completely irrelevant, since no one wants to stop anyone from wearing a mask if they choose. https://t.co/ZOp9vbCz5I

According to Jen Psaki, that’s exactly what Ron DeSantis has been trying to do:
.@JacquiHeinrich on ending mask mandates: "Why are we not hearing the same messaging criticizing states that are…making these moves like we heard previously with…Ron DeSantis?"

Oh, shove it, Jen.
What? No he didn't. What in the world is she talking about? https://t.co/6K24ftXlSJ

Another LIE by @PressSec.
Now the Truth:@GovRonDeSantis DIDN'T stand in the way of people who wanted to mask, he gave freedom of choice. https://t.co/rMGi6OmUIM— Bre * #BidenIsADisaster #BringBackTrump (@BrendaA24168120) February 9, 2022
Lol. This is embarrassing even by her low standards. No one was preventing voluntary masking. https://t.co/x2FI9uAAL2

This is a lie. Anyone who wants to mask themselves or their children in Florida can, and they always have been able to. https://t.co/DDPc4CAKlM

This is an outright lie, that I’m absolutely sure will be ignored by fact checkers. https://t.co/UicfzhDH3A

Snopes definitely won’t call her out for this.
The Biden admin *supports* federal judges and governors standing in the way of local school districts making their own choices
They had the Dept of Education sue to make sure local school districts are forced to mask https://t.co/0jzIKGTIU8

Pathetic jokes who are genuinely terrified of Ron DeSantis.
