The White House on Tuesday declined to condemn calls for violence and unrest from Democratic lawmakers, saying President Biden would not “opine” on “back and forth arguments.”
At a briefing on Tuesday afternoon as former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial was getting underway, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki was pressed on how the Biden administration felt about incendiary rhetoric from Democrats in Congress.
In their pre-trial brief, attorneys for Trump pointed to comments from Rep. Maxine Waters in 2018 who called for supporters at a rally to confront and harass Trump officials over their support of the child separation border policy — claiming Trump was the victim of a double standard.
NBC News reporter Kristen Welker noted that Biden senior advisor Cedric Richmond had even defended Waters, saying she had “a constitutional right to express those views.”
“So how does the White House view that as any different?” Welker asked Psaki.
“Joe Biden is the president,” Psaki responded. “He’s not a pundit. He’s not going to opine on the back and forth arguments, nor is he watching them, that are taking place in the Senate,” she said.

This fake redhead dons a red outfit to look and act like asuv. Very wicked female.
There is a lot of weird drivel in your comment. Man up, or get the proper medication. whichever works.
not weird, makes sense what she’s saying, don’t be naïve
she is a typical liberal-all show and no substance. All you biden voters who were so put off by Trump’s tweeting, well, now you got what you dreamed of, a “back to normal” presidency.
Joe Biden is not a pundit, therefore he is not going to opine on his senior adviser’s defense of Maxine Waters’ incendiary rhetoric?!!! Hmmm.
And Psaki won’t comment on whether the impeachment trial is unconstitutional or not because, “I don’t think that’s for me or us to opine on”?!!! But Biden already opined on the constitutionality of the trial when he told CNN that the impeachment trial “has to happen,” and when he told the news network that “I hope that the Senate leadership will find a way to deal with their CONSTITUTIONAL responsibilities on impeachment while also working on the other urgent business of this nation”!!!
What would YOU say if you were in her position?
She had no answer that she won’t get into trouble for so she evaded the question.
They will give Al Sharpton much grit. He just incited one or cold gritty other deaths. My good day.
