White House press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to support comments made by United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who said America's founding documents are 'weaved' with White supremacy.

In a virtual speech during the liberal National Action Network's 2021 convention, Greenfield addressed the US effort to rejoin the UN Human Rights Council - saying that the country needs to approach "issues of equity and justice" internationally "with humility" because America has a racist past.

"We have to acknowledge that we are an imperfect union and have been since the beginning," she said, adding "I’ve seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved White supremacy into our founding documents and principles."

Instead of condemning the comments, Psaki doubled down when a reporter noted that Greenfield's comments are 'essentially parroting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talking points - saying that while she has not seen Thomas-Greenfield's comments, "there's no question that there has been a history of institutional racism in this country and that doesn't require the U.N. ambassador to confirm that."

"Is the president going to remove an African American woman with decades of experience in the foreign service who's widely respected around the world from her position as ambassador to the U.N.?" said Psaki earlier, twisting the reporter's question into an assault on her identity. "He is not."
