In case you weren’t aware, Venezuelan authorities recently accused the U.S. of attempts to overthrow its government. In a press conference, U.S. State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, vehemently denied such claims and then went ahead and spouted talking points so ridiculous, only a complete ignoramus could believe them. She said:
As a matter of long-standing policy, the United States does not support political transitions by non-constitutional means.
Interesting, because it seems to me that the primary role of U.S. foreign policy throughout my lifetime has been specifically to initiate political transitions by non-constitutional means.
The line was simply too much to bear for some members of the press. One guy in particular, incredulously asked her to elaborate on her definition of “long-standing” in light of the historical reality that the U.S. government has been constantly involving itself in coups all over the world, particularly in Latin America.
What’s even more amazing than the fact that the “authorities” remain so willing to publicly spout such easily disprovable propaganda, is her reaction once see realizes she’s been caught. She backpedals and squirms, but the most disturbing thing is you can see a subtle smirk come across her face. She knows how ridiculous the statement is and can’t keep it together once she’s called out. I guess coups are funny to people in power. To those victimized by them, not so much.
Watch the clip below, and pay particularly close attention to Jen Psaki’s face from around the 57 second mark. She’s clever enough to quickly try to cover it up with a joke. Shameless:

Jen Psaki is only 21 years old?
Jen Psaki, is nothing more than a propaganda mouth piece of B S.How can anyone take these moral deviants and their half baked lies seriously any more?Just looks into the camera and lies with a straight face.
I looked up the CV on this wretched Psaki bitch. Not surprisingly, this turd-polisher has never had a real job in her life:

From the looks of it, she gets paid pretty handsomely to lie publicly in the service of other liars.
It would be refreshing to have an occasional representative in D.C. in any capacity that has some experience doing some honest work in the private sector. You know, the productive part of society that pays the cushy salaries and benefits for lying paper-pushers like this ugly wench.
That Jen gal is a fuckin’ hose bag – takes it at both ends with Barry and Holder.
It makes sense: Get a vacuous, stupid cunt that has no info – ask her any question you want – real safe way to play it. Probably her previous job was receptionist
