'I have a hunch': Trump ridiculed by MSNBC's Psaki for ducking outdoor inauguration

MSNBC host Jen Psaki made her way through a history of presidential inaugurations that were held in extreme cold before suggesting Donald Trump pulled the plug on his for alternative reasons.

With the president-elect's team moving the proceedings to the toastier confines of the Capitol, leaving a multitude of MAGA supporters out in the cold, Psaki first pointed out the late President Jimmy Carter wasn't deterred when "when temperatures dipped below 30 degrees."

As she noted, "It's going to look a lot different than the first time around, in large part because it will take place inside. The Trump team pointed to the frigid forecast as the reason for moving it indoors," before adding, "Yes, it is indeed going to be frigid here in Washington tomorrow."

She added, "Barack Obama, when wind-chills were in the teens and nearly 2 million people still gathered? It was cold. very cold, I can promise you. Heck, I mean, JFK didn't even wear an overcoat when the high was 26 degrees and there were eight inches of snow on the ground."

"So sure, they say it's the weather," she continued. "I have a hunch crowd size anxiety might just be a factor -- who knows?" she smirked.
