White House press secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly declined Monday to address Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s false claims about the Omicron variant of COVID-19 before calling for Chicago teachers to return to work after they caused classes to be canceled for a fourth day over record-high coronavirus cases.
Sotomayor claimed Friday during oral arguments over President Biden’s private sector vaccine mandate that the Omicron variant is so severe that “we have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, many on ventilators.”
Official data indicate there are just 5,000 children in hospitals who have COVID-19.
“What do you guys think about COVID misinformation coming from the Supreme Court and Sonia Sotomayor’s false claim that over 100,000 children are in serious condition, many on ventilators?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Psaki Monday.
