MSNBC host Jen Psaki, former press secretary to outgoing President Joe Biden, said earlier this month the claim there are boys in girls’ sports is “right-wing propaganda.”
Psaki is a longtime insider of the Democrat Party and has spent the last few years as a host on cable news. Even with that front-row seat, the 45-year-old commentator said any concern over transgender-related issues is “manufactured panic” from conservatives.

She made the comments during a segment of her network show, “Inside with Jen Psaki,” in response to a statement given to The New York Times by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who asserted it is, in part, Democrats’ staunch support of transgenderism — particularly when it comes to sports — that has cost them votes across the country.
Moutlon told the outlet, “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” adding, “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but, as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
Psaki, for her part, characterized the issue as a faux “crisis of boys playing in girls’ sports,” claiming the concern is built on “lies.”
“There are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports,” she said. “When we see those examples, there isn’t evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”
