“She never encouraged people to protest outside justices’ homes,” tweeted Deputy White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates in response to former Trump Spox Kayleigh McEnany- who then provided a transcript in which he highlights Psaki saying “protests have been peaceful to date.”
In the very next line, however, Psaki says “and we certainly continue to encourage that – outside of judges’ homes.”
Unsurprisingly – given the source – this presentation is dishonest.
The full answer (from one of Jen's hundreds of briefings) made the opposite point.
She said we encouraged protesters to remain peaceful.
(As opposed to, say, “we continue to encourage that – just not outside of judges’ homes”)
In light of the Kavanaugh news, first question to the White House today should be:
“Does President Biden stand by this?”
PSAKI: “And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges’ homes and that’s the president’s position.” Edit: as soon as I posted the sound stopped working.

In short – the White House’s official position is – or was – that protesting outside Justices’ homes is OK… as long as they remain peaceful.
And we all know what the left considers ‘peaceful’… https://i.imgur.com/gl7Vr1W.jpg
