Jen Psaki finished up her tenure as the spokesperson for Joe Biden's administration this week by telling a whopper of a lie, which is by the way pretty much emblematic of everything she said in her press briefings.

I do believe it was last year when the administration passed a $30 billion spending package that included money for free crack pipes. It became a hot topic but we were assured by everyone at Health and Human services as well as Jen Psaki and Joe Biden that despite the language in the spending bill there would not be any free crack pipes distributed to drug addicts. Well, thank goodness somebody was following up to confirm if that was true or not.

Patrick Hauff at the Washington Free Beacon and his investigative team went to five cities in the Northeast; Washington DC, New York City, Richmond VA, Baltimore, and Boston. They visited the official distribution centers for the safe smoking kits obtaining a sample kit from each of those centers. And in every one of those kits there were free crack pipes.

When asked about it, Jen tried to do a little sidestep by saying that no federal funds were used to put crack pipes in the safe smoking kits funded by the federal government through Health and Human Services. She said this story was another conspiracy theory that really doesn't deserve any of her attention. Of course it is. Just like every other times she's been proven wrong. She will fit right in with the other cable news pundits.

I am not at all surprised that she lied because that's what they do now. But I am a little bit in awe that she's so comfortable with doing it and there's so many people that support her and this administration. Politicians have always lied and media members have always protected them but it has never been this blatant. I do believe more people are waking up to the lies, and we might see a significant change in the midterm elections, if we can keep the Democrat party machine from stealing another election.
