JEN Psaki fought back tears as she gave her final White House press briefing, saying she "promised herself she wasn't going to cry."

The fierce political advisor gave an emotional speech during her 224th and final briefing as White House Press Secretary on Friday

"I promised myself I was going to keep it together, and I'm not," a teary Psaki said as she addressed reporters in the White House briefing room.

"I want to thank all of you in this room. You have challenged me, you have pushed me, you have debated me, and at times we have disagreed. That is democracy in action.

"Without accountability, without debate, government is not as strong, and you all play an incredibly pivotal role. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for making me better, and most importantly, thank you for the work every day you do to make this country stronger," the outgoing press secretary added.

Succeeding Psaki is Karine Jean-Pierre, the first Black woman and openly LGBTQ person to be White House press secretary.
