During his time in office, Donald Trump had four different press secretaries. Sean Spicer didn’t last long after humiliating himself on day one after lying about Trump’s inauguration crowd. Stephanie Grisham never held a single presser. Kayleigh McEneny and Sarah Huckabee Sanders spent more time insulting reporters than answering questions.

Cruz said today, “Jen Psaki doesn’t get the Justin Trudeau treatment? You know, Peppermint Patty deserves some love. Jen Psaki from the White House podium said, ‘billionaires in Silicon Valley, please silence that Joe Rogan guy.'”

During her press conference, Psaki was asked about the comments. She responded, “Don’t tell him I like Peppermint Patty. So I’m not going to take that too offensively. Senator Cruz, I like Peppermint Patty. I’m a little tougher than that, but, there you go.”
