Reporters on Wednesday grilled White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Brandon’s claim “MAGA is the most extreme political organization” in US history.
Brandon had a “basket of deplorables” moment on Wednesday when he went off-script during remarks on his horrible economy.
Brandon started rambling about ‘abortion rights’ as he took questions from reporters and lashed out at Trump supporters.
“What are the next things that are going to be attacked?” Brandon said claiming overturning Roe v Wade could lead to LGBT children not being allowed in school classrooms.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he added.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said, Brandon “was sharply critical of the MAGA crowd…Is that what we should expect to speak his message going into the midterms?”
Psaki doubled down, saying “I would expect you will hear” more of this rhetoric from “him…over the next coming months”

Another reporter asked Psaki about Brandon’s divisive comment and pointed out the MAGA crowd makes up a large percentage of voters.
Psaki defended Brandon: “I think the president will be judged by Americans by his actions.”

Q: “The ‘MAGA Crowd’ is…almost half the people who voted in 2020. Does the president feel he could’ve done more early on to reach out to those people?”
