Thanks to the incompetence of America’s mainstream press, for weeks White House press secretary Jen Psaki has been answering questions from a fictional White House correspondent who reportedly doesn’t even exist.

According to a stunning report by Politico published Friday, a gamer from Roblox, an online gaming platform that features playable characters that resemble LEGO Minifigures, has been indirectly questioning Psaki by forwarding their questions to actual White House correspondents.

Because of the resemblance between LEGO Minifigures and Roblox characters, Roblox gamers reportedly jokingly refer to themselves as “Legos.”

The way it worked is that Kacey Montagu, the fictional White House correspondent who was in fact a “Lego,” would email questions to actual correspondents and ask if they could pose them to Psaki because her “social distancing regulations” forbade her from attending the briefings herself.

And not surprisingly, the correspondents, who have a history of being unable to differentiate fact from fiction, would then go ahead and ask Psaki the questions.

Never mind that neither her supposed employer, the Daily Mail, nor the White House Correspondents Association have any record of a Kacey Montagu, who also took on the identity of a fictional White House News (WHN) correspondent.

According to Politico, Montagu even had “several exchanges with White House officials.”

She also adopted a presence on social media.

“Montagu’s play-acting as a White House reporter goes back at least to December, when he or she set up @WHschedule on Twitter. They repeatedly referenced the ‘schedule’ account in emails as a primary duty. In March, they began sending tweets from @WHpoolreport,” Politico reported.

“The accounts are rudimentary repostings of two sources of information reporters regularly consume: the president, first lady, vice president, and second gentleman’s daily schedules and the so-called pool reports, which are real time dispatches from a small group of journalists tasked with following around those principals during the course of the day and reporting back to the rest of the press corps on their movements and utterances.”

And once again the press was reportedly fooled.
