Jen Psaki had to dispatch another person posing as a reporter in the White House Press Briefing Room on reparations. The reporter should be ashamed of the reparations question.
Jen Psaki dispatches reporter on Chinese reparations question
One must feel that the White House press briefing room has become the twilight zone. After all, it does not seem like questions referencing this dimension are being asked.
The reporter asked if the Biden administration is considering requesting reparations from the Chinese government for the over 600,000 dead Americans. Watch how Jen Psaki handled it.
Maybe the uninformed reporter should learn about the 2009 H1N1 epidemic that originated in the U.S. and spread worldwide. Should we first pay reparations?
In the spring of 2009, a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged. It was detected first in the United States and spread quickly across the United States and the world. This new H1N1 virus contained a unique combination of influenza genes not previously identified in animals or people. This virus was designated as influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus. Ten years later work continues to better understand influenza, prevent disease, and prepare for the next pandemic.
Any reporter using the word reparation should first consider that America’s wealth was built on the stolen lands of the American natives, the free labor of slaves, and the indentured servitude of many. He should ask if America will consider ensuring that the descendants of those aggrieved people are compensated for the wealth they were likely to have.
