"Just left the House Foreign Affairs interview with Jen Psaki. She
agreed to apologize to the 13 Afghanistan Gold Star families whom she
falsely contradicted in her book when she said Biden didn’t look at his watch. This isn’t a partisan or gotcha moment. This is the right thing
to do as fellow Americans and I pray she follows through," Waltz wrote.

If democrats will lie about something like this there’s absolutely
nothing they won’t lie about. They lied for years about Joe Biden’s
health and they lied about Trump being a threat to democracy. Never
believe anything a democrat says.
The video tapes clearly show he looked 3 times!

Psaki allegedly agreed to apologize for misleading comments on Biden
checking his watch
The former White House press secretary claimed in her book Biden didn't
check his watch until after a US service members ceremony

The Five: Jen Psaki forced to edit new book after bogus Biden claim
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki allegedly asked the Foreign Affairs Committee to pass along an apology to Gold Star families for
denying President Biden checked his watch during a ceremony.
Psaki agreed to a closed-door transcribed interview with the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday regarding the chaotic 2021
Afghanistan evacuation. Psaki served as press secretary at the time and allegedly answered questions regarding claims that she made multiple
untrue statements regarding the operation.
Reports from inside the committee suggested at one point Psaki was asked
if she had any comments for the Gold Star families offended by her
previous statements.

GOLD STAR FATHER RIPS 'VILE, SHAMELESS' PSAKI FOR 'LIES' ABOUT BIDEN
CHECKING WATCH DURING CEREMONY
"The chairman asked Ms. Psaki about her comments regarding President
Biden looking at his watch while at Dover [Air Force Base] and asked her
if she had anything she wanted to say to the families on the record,"
Leslie Shedd, Foreign Affairs Committee majority spokeswoman, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
The statement continued, "After pressing her multiple times if she had something she wanted to say to them, Ms. Psaki asked the chairman to
pass along her apology to the families and to express her regret for the
pain she caused them. He has done that."
GOP Florida Rep. Mike Waltz appeared to confirm the exchange,
congratulating Psaki on X for doing the right thing.
"Just left the House Foreign Affairs interview with Jen Psaki. She
agreed to apologize to the 13 Afghanistan Gold Star families whom she
falsely contradicted in her book when she said Biden didn’t look at his watch. This isn’t a partisan or gotcha moment. This is the right thing
to do as fellow Americans and I pray she follows through," Waltz wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Foreign Affairs Committee and Psaki
for confirmation and have yet to receive a response.
The incident the committee referenced was a wildly-attacked video and subsequent image of Biden checking his watch multiple times during a
dignified transfer ceremony for the 13 U.S. service members who were
killed in a terrorist attack during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

PSAKI DOESN'T DENY BIDEN LOOKED AT WATCH DURING CEREMONY FOR 13 SERVICE
MEMBERS KILLED IN KABUL
Psaki came under fire in May when her recently published book "Say More" previously claimed "the president looked at his watch only after the
ceremony had ended" and insisted critics misrepresented the facts to
make Biden appear insensitive. However, Gold Star families have long
said they saw Biden check his watch multiple times during the dignified transfer ceremony.
She was later forced to edit and remove the line from future reprints
and digital copies of the book.

That’s not an apology. Denying something repeatedly and only “apologizing” after being caught is just virtue signaling.

She should personally apologize. A person who was the president's
official spokesperson should choose her words carefully. She failed.

She is a liar and she took the easiest way out for families that had
given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
If she had integrity and humanity, at the very least should could have
called and apologized for the pain she caused. A more appropriate
response for lying over something like this ...

she lied, she knew she lied, she simply assumed that if she said it loud enough, and repeated the lie frequently enough, the MSM would bury the
issue.
it's on tape - a continuous live record of who did what when.
there's no need for an apology - she simply lied, again and again and again.

Why is this listed under the "conflicts" category? I was looking for an
update on the war in Ukraine... couldn't find anything recently posted.
I wonder if it's because Ukraine is losing.

Psaki did not actually “do the right thing”, Mr. Waltz. “Ms. Psaki asked the chairman to pass along her apology to the families and to express
her regret for the pain she caused them. He has done that." Psaki has
not actually done anything herself to apologize for her lie.

If she doesn't personally apologize, it's not an apology.

I agree, a true apology from her would be in person, a personal letter,
or a phone call to each family. Anything less, is not an apology.

So did she actually apologize or did she ask the committee to apologize
for her? Big difference.
