Joe Biden,Jen Psaki,White House
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed that President Joe Biden did not check his watch while he was attending a ceremony honoring soldiers who were killed during the administration’s 2021 botched Afghanistan withdrawal, according to an excerpt obtained by Axios.
While awaiting the fallen soldiers from overseas, images and videos were captured of Biden checking his watch, a moment that received backlash from Republicans and former President Donald Trump’s team alike. Psaki writes about the infamous moment in her new book, “Say More,” obtained by Axios, saying that the president only checked his watch after the ceremony had concluded, rather than during.
