Remember back in March 2021 when it was reported that there had been a “biting incident” involving the Biden’s dog Major and a secret service agent?
Well, this White House that lies about everything (“Putin’s Price Hike”) even lied about how many times Major bit secret service agents before he was finally sent away.
Shortly before Christmas last year, Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa announced that Major had been sent to live with “family friends” and the Bidens were adopting a new German shepherd puppy to replace him.
(Is “he went to live with family friends” a White House euphemism for “we put the damn dog down because he became an optics problem?”)
And virtually every news report from the time noted that Major bit two people in March, a secret service agent and a National Parks Service employee because that’s what the White House told the press.
But that was a lie.
First of all, the March 8, 2021 “biting incident” wasn’t the first as the White House claimed.
Second of all, there was a series of biting incidents over eight consecutive days starting on February 28, 2021.
Not only that, the secret service agent in the March 8 “biting incident” was actually the target of Major’s teeth on two separate occasions.
Poor guy. Talk about bad luck.
Judicial Watch obtained records through a FOIA request that got to the truth of Major’s major biting problem.
According to the report in the New York Post Thursday:
Secret Service agents were outraged last year by the White House’s attempt to downplay bite injuries caused by then-first dog Major — even trying to get President Biden to personally pay for a damaged coat, newly released documents show.
Secret Service leaders also sought to keep attack details out of official paperwork — at one point rejecting an agent’s “excessively detailed” account to avoid upsetting the first family — after Major bit agents on eight consecutive days. [Bold emphasis mine]
The records, released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch, show that attacks occurred both earlier and later than previously known.
When Jen Psaki admitted the March 8, 2021 “biting incident” to reporters in a press briefing the following day, she claimed that poor Major had been “surprised” by the secret service agent and reacted in a way that caused a “minor injury.”
The agent in question was not amused. He wrote to a colleague:
“NO I didn’t surprise the dog doing my job by being at [redacted] as the press secretary just said! Now I’m pissed.”
And the injury wasn’t “minor” either. Major bit the guy’s leg hard enough to cause puncture wounds and bruising.
That agent got bit by Major a second time as well, though it isn’t clear from the records obtained when and where that second “biting incident” happened.
But there were other “biting incidents” that occurred earlier that the White House did not acknowledge, including two separate incidents on the day Bite-a-Palooza kicked off.
On February 28, during one of the president’s many visits to Delaware, a secret service agent got bit twice during a single encounter with Biden’s demon dog. First Major bit the agent on the arm. After the agent shook Major off and started to turn away, the dog bit him again, this time on the ass.
That all happened just hours after Major took a bite out of another secret service agent’s thigh.
I don’t know if any reporter is going to ask Jen Psaki about what Judicial Watch uncovered. Probably not.
And even if they did, Jen would probably lie. She might even find a way to put the blame on Putin.
After all, you know how much Vladimir Putin loves his dogs.
