White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki broke down during a podcast interview while condemning a series of anti-LGTBQ bills moving through statehouses as “harsh and cruel,” reports Mediaite.
In an interview on the News Not Noise podcast released Tuesday, host Jessica Yellin asked Psaki about the legislation across the country.
“This is a political wedge issue, and an attempt to win a culture war,” said Psaki.
The press secretary grew emotional when she invoked the impact of the legislation on children.
“They’re doing that in a way that is harsh and cruel to a community of kids, especially,” Psaki said, through tears. “I’m going to get emotional about this issue because it’s horrible! But it’s kids who are bullied, and all these leaders are taking steps to hurt them, and hurt their lives and hurt their families! And you look at some of these laws in these states and who’s going after parents who are in loving relationships, who have kids. It’s completely outrageous! Sorry, this is an issue that makes me completely crazy.”
