The extent to which the White House will not tolerate any dissent against its war messaging on Russia was revealed when President Joe Bidens press secretary on Wednesday condemned a sitting member of the United States Senate as a Russian propagandist for simply questioning the drive to war over Ukraine.
Jen Psaki accused Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of "parroting Russian talking points" for sending a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken questioning the drive for war. "Well, if you are just digesting Russian misinformation and parroting Russian talking points, you are not aligned with long-standing, bipartisan American values," Psaki told reporters at a regular White House briefing.
