Interesting thing about Biden's future WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki--Russian trolls *hate* her.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

They hate her with an absolute passion--her and former Ambassador Michael McFaul probably received more wrath from Kremlin based trolls than any other American figure.

It all dates back to 2014 after the US State Department had levied sanctions against Russia after the invasion and annexation of Crimea. Russian trolls would send the nastiest comments at the State Department's daily press briefings, which Psaki conducted. While most Americans hardly knew who Psaki was or bothered to watch any State Department briefings themselves, she was a household name to the Russian online community and they went after her on an everyday basis.

I suppose the vitriol against her was an example of "shooting the messenger" but thankfully I don't think Psaki ever let it get to her. Glad to see this hire from the President Elect.

She's widely acknowledged it herself:

2. Here's hoping she gives them heartburn on a daily basis

You know you’re doing something right when Russian trolls hate you.

3. I haven't heard her name pronounced yet...

Is it "puh-SAH-key" or "pih-SAH-key" or (silent-P) SAH-key?

8. Like Asian rice wine?

9. The Japanese call it "nihonshu."

In Japan, the word "sake" can refer to any alcoholic beverage.

10. In 1970 I ordered sake at the Tokyo Hilton

They brought me rice wine without asking for clarification.

What a refreshing change to have an HONEST and reliable source of information from the White House.
