Vogue ripped as ‘frauds’ for glowing feature on Jen Psaki after ‘four-year hiatus’ from White House

Vogue revealed a glowing feature on Biden press secretary Jen Psaki Monday after photographer Annie Liebovitz was noticed snapping footage of her this summer time and ended the journal’s “four-year hiatus” of White House girls.

Psaki’s presence within the briefing room evoked a “collective swoon” following the press’ testy relationship with the Trump administration, Vogue’s Lizzie Widdicombe wrote.

“When Psaki first appeared in the press briefing room, in January 2021, there was a collective swoon from roughly half the country,” Widdicombe wrote. “This was largely due to what she was not doing: berating the assembled reporters, griping about CNN’s coverage of a presidential tweet, or spouting flagrant, easily disprovable lies. ” She added Psaki has “a mixture of warmth, humor, intelligence, and edge.”

“Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy was not as laudatory of the press secretary and stated that Vogue’s interview “exposes the frauds” on the journal as a result of they failed to offer the identical consideration to the ladies within the Trump White House.

“It exposes the frauds at Vogue,” Campos-Duffy informed Fox News. “For four years they failed their readers by deliberately ignoring the most consequential fashion icon in the White House since Jackie O, while laughably fawning over Jill Biden’s dull Talbots look. Likewise, politics and hate for Trump and conservative women in particular, drove their decision to snub press secretary Kayleigh McEnany – a woman who is so demonstrably superior to Jen Psaki, not just in beauty and style, but also intelligence and sheer communication skills. Simply put, Vogue hates conservative women more than they love fashion.” 

One tidbit from the feature additionally famous {that a} CNN make-up artist typically texts her ideas.

“The Trump administration had a hair-and-makeup person on the payroll, but Psaki is a one-woman operation,” the profile stated. “She owes much of her current regimen – black eyeliner, simple lipstick – to a CNN makeup artist who has texted her tips. (Psaki has worked as a commentator for the network.)”

“Our media today,” tweeted Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer, sharing a photograph caption from Vogue that used the hashtag #PSAKIBOMB.

“Usually, you have to retire to get this kind of celebratory profile,” the Media Research Center’s Dan Gainor informed Fox News. “I guess being a Democrat also counts. The article mentions a ‘collective swoon’ from much of the country at Psaki as press secretary and it’s pretty obvious that Vogue falls into that category.” 

When Liebowitz was first noticed on the White House just a few months in the past, observers could not assist noting the “four-year hiatus” seemed to be over for the left-leaning journal.
