Jen Psaki, Joe Biden's newly named press secretary, is in hot water over the emergence of an old photo showing her wearing a hat with a communist hammer-and-sickle symbol on it.
The photo comes from 2014 when Psaki served in the Obama State Department, and shows her standing with then-Secretary of State John Kerry, as well as Russian ambassador Sergey Lavrov, and spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Zakharova supposedly gifted the pink hat to Psaki, a practice the Biden team says is "tradition."
🔦 The hammer and sickle has long been a representation of the harsh economic and political oppression that has historically occurred with regularity under communism.
