Psaki Tries Spinning Biden’s ‘Neanderthal Thinking’ Remarks About Texas, Mississippi
“The last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in mean time everything’s fine, take off your mask,” Biden continued. “Forget it. It’s still matters. … And it’s critical — critical, critical, critical — that they follow the science. Wash your hands, hot water, do it frequently. Wear a mask and stay socially distanced. And I know you all know that; I wish the heck some of our elected officials knew it.”

The reporter continued, “He says ‘Mississippians don’t need handlers. I just think we should trust Americans and not insult them.’ He’s making an argument that this is really about personal liberty here. Does the president have any second thoughts about the language that he used yesterday, and how does comparing someone to a Neanderthal help convince them to change course and get on board with your public health message?”
Psaki spun Biden’s remarks this way: “The behavior of a Neanderthal, just to be very clear, the behavior of. Look, I think the president — what everybody saw yesterday was a reflection of his frustration and exasperation, which I think many American people have, that for almost a year now, people across the country have sacrificed, and many times they haven’t had information they need from the federal government.”
Asserting that the people of Texas and Mississippi, among other states, had been ignorant of public health guidelines, she continued, “They haven’t had access to a greater understanding of what the public health guideline should look like, and those include many, many people in Mississippi, in Texas, in Ohio, Florida, in every state across the country.
He believes that with more than half a million Americans’ lives lost, with families that continue to suffer, that it’s imperative that people listen across the country, whether they live in a red state or a blue state, to the guidance of public health experts.”
