Jen Psaki Claims GOP 'Recruiting' Muslims to 'Go After' Trans People

On MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki, the eponymous host dedicated the portion of her program where she appears to go off script and gives her often delusional opinions on the news of the week. This Sunday was no different as the former Biden administration Press Secretary concocted a bizarre conspiracy theory that the Republican Party is rehashing the so-called “southern strategy” (which itself is a debunked conspiracy theory) to “recruit” Muslim Americans to “go after” transgender people. 

“So, lately, I’ve been noticing the reemergence of a very old GOP playbook that harkens back to President Richard Nixon's infamous southern strategy,” Psaki proclaimed at the top. She then regurgitated the myth of the Republican Party appealing to white southern Democrats by “playing to their fears of African Americans and the civil rights movement.”

Tying that fact-free history lesson to present day, Psaki claimed "the GOP is trying to recruit Muslim Americans, a community that makes up less than two percent of the U.S. population, against another tiny marginalized group of Americans, transgender people." 

She based this on the fact that in the 2011/2012 Republican presidential primaries some of the candidates expressed concerns over sharia law being practiced in American courts.
