Jen Psaki doubles down on BS assertion that there's no ulterior motive behind decision to drop Capitol mask mandate right before SOTU [video]

Yesterday, Jen Psaki denied that the sudden reversal of masking policy at the U.S. Capitol just in time for the State of the Union Address had anything to do with the State of the Union Address.

Psaki says that the last minute change of congressional mask rules "had nothing to do around the timing of the State of the Union" address. pic.twitter.com/1J19i6ZfJH

That’s her story, and she’s sticking to it!

Even if no one serious believes her for a second.

This is purely about optics and nothing else. Though, in fairness, it’s hard to blame Psaki et al. Democrats need all the help they can get.

I’m guessing the polling data shows the optics are better if no mask are worn. Polls are the only science liberals know.
