Professional Political Gaslighting from the White House Press Secretary


This short video segment highlights exactly what professional gaslighting looks like.   The White House staff, Joe Biden and the White House press secretary have repeatedly called President Trump “a threat to democracy.”  And now, following the second assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, the White House press secretary is appalled that anyone would say their rhetoric and calling President Trump a “threat” was any form of incitement.

In fact, asking the White House about their own language choices is akin to attacking them.  Within the clip the Press Secretary immediately claims victim status, and then decries the effort to ask her questions about her statements.  WATCH:
