Psaki Mocks Bethany Mandel’s Brain Freeze Explaining Woke Ideology

During the inaugural episode of MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House press secretary dedicated an entire segment on her otherwise bland show to mocking conservatives for their fight against the left’s woke ideology. She particularly focused in on a moment from an interview given by conservative author and commentator Bethany Mandel in which she had a brief brain freeze when asked to define wokeness. 

Of course, it’s all the more hypocritical when you recall that Psaki’s immediate successor the inept diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre is incapable of putting a coherent sentence together even on her best day. 

“In a recent interview, it was even too difficult for at least one conservative commentator to define what woke actually even means. Conservative author Bethany Mandel has written a book that covers this exact subject.” Psaki started off noting. 

She then cut to video of Mandel’s interview on The Hill’s Rising in which the leftist co-host Briahna Joy Gray asked the gotcha question: 

BRIAHNA JOY GRAY: Would you mind defining woke because it’s come up a couple times and I just want to make sure we’re on the same page.

BETHANY MANDEL: So–I mean–woke is–sort of the idea that–this is gonna be one of those moments that goes viral. I mean woke is something that’s very hard to define and we spent an entire chapter defining it. It is sort of the understanding that we need to re–totally reimagine and redo society in order to great hierarchies of oppression. Sorry—It’s hard to explain in a 15-second sound bite. 

We all have our bad moments, Psaki knows that better than anyone. This writer has met Mandel and she’s extremely smart and articulate. Despite that, Psaki decided to use this as an opportunity to claim that the GOP’s attacks on the left’s woke mind virus aren’t a winning issue.

Psaki lectured Mandel and the GOP: “Just two cents from someone who has worked a few years in communications. If you can’t explain it, and people don’t understand it in 15 seconds, it may not be the winning message you think it is.”

“So everyone out there, it sounds like you can let your woke flag fly,” Psaki proclaimed. 

Yes leftists, keep imposing your woke ideology on Americans. See how that works out for you in 2024.
