Jen Psaki saying at press conference yesterday that Biden economic team not addressing Robin Hood issue because his team is working on what really matters to the American people, which is Covid relief bill, makes both her & him seem incredibly out of touch with what’s happening.

Based on some responses, I want to clarify. I wasn’t suggesting that anything is more important than a Covid relief bill; I’ve been asking where those $2000 checks are every day.

The only one out of touch is you. Do you have a vested interest in Robinhood? That's more importantvthan 450k lives lost?

There is an investigation going on with the SEC about this, but traditionally Presidents let agency’s work on their own - instead of a outrageous tweet which never went any where

They just have to focus on priorities and delegate the dumpster fire du jour whenever they can. I'm sure they're plenty aware of the shenanigans.

What Psaki is really saying, "The Biden Administration is all geared up to put on a *spectacle* of fighting for a Covid relief bill. Later, they will switch over to putting on a *spectacle* of investigating what went on with the Robin Hood/GameStop thing."

Especially since they definitely aren’t working on a COVID relief bill

That comment feels like criticism simply for the sake of criticism -The reality is the Wall Street bet story affects very few people in terms of the overall country and Wall Street is not the economy and I like presidents who don’t jump in on every media trend just for the tweets

They’ll address it. They’re dealing with the most immediately critical issues first. Her answer was not “out of touch.”

That’s not what they said. They are directing media to the right place to ask questions. Come on man.
