A reporter for the Daily Caller asked a great question today of Jen Psaki regarding the new NYC vaccine mandate being pushed by Mayor Bill De Blasio:
.@DailyCaller's @ShelbyTalcott asks Jen Psaki if the WH is "concerned…that the burdens imposed by governments and businesses like this New York City proof of vaccination is going to fall heaviest on these minority communities" seeing as how the rate for Black New Yorkers is 31% pic.twitter.com/rJn7uN8W4p

Shelby Talcott, reporter for the Daily Caller, essentially asked if the White House had any issues with the vaccine mandate being imposed on businesses in New York City, because it will hurt blacks the most because of their low vaccination rate.
Psaki’s answer was amazing, essentially suggesting that if blacks don’t want to be hurt by the mandate, they should get vaccinated. That’s a bit more biting than how she actually put it, but I think that’s the takeaway as she had nothing negative to say about the vaccine mandate, only suggesting the White House was working to get more blacks vaccinated so the mandate wouldn’t be a barrier to them.
Since when is the White House ok with ‘show me your ID’ or ‘show me your papers’? I thought voter ID was bad for blacks? But suddenly turning away black folks because they aren’t vaccinated is a good thing?
