Psaki's remarks, which came at Tuesday's White House press briefing, come only two days before Biden will deliver comments on the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot.
"We have conveyed our concern in the past about the fact that many Republican members of Congress have stood by the 'big lie' since then," she announced in response to a question regarding the January 6 Select Committee's investigation into the riot's roots. "They were outraged at the time, many of them, about the events that happened on January 6. Who could not be who was watching then?"
Psaki argued that in the coming months, those Republicans "have done nothing to help support the work of the committee, to help argue against the big lie, and, you know, that sort of lack of action, inaction, silence is something that is irresponsible as well."

"It's something obviously the President spoke about in terms of that being one of the worst days in our democracy," she explained while previewing Biden's upcoming speech. "He'll speak to the historical significance of January 6, what it means for the country one year later, the importance of the peaceful transfer of power, which, obviously, the prior Administration and the prior President weren't a part of, but I think there's a larger message here to the country about who we are and who we need to be moving forward."
A CRYING SHAME: PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS FORCE USC TO CANCEL PRIMARY GRADUATION EVENT
Former President Trump has canceled a January 6 press conference he was scheduled to hold at his Mar-a-Lago home, he declared in a statement Tuesday.
Trump had planned to reiterate his unfounded allegations of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election on the one-year anniversary of the assault on the U.S. Capitol. The assault came after a rally in Washington, D.C., and weeks of him falsely claiming the election was rigged. The former President announced he'll address the issues he would have discussed on January 6 at a rally in Arizona on January 15.

"In light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6 Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the Fake News Media, I am canceling the January 6th Press Conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, and instead will discuss many of those important topics at my rally on Saturday, January 15, in Arizona—It will be a big crowd!" Trump announced in an email message.
