What’s Happening:
The new White House press secretary is hardly outshining the last one. Karine Jean-Pierre has already struggled to respond to tough questions about Biden’s ongoing decline.
Recently, Don Lemon (of all people) questioned Jean-Pierre on Biden’s fitness. She didn’t even respond.
From Twitter:
DON LEMON: “Does the president has the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think to continue on even after 2024?”
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “That is not a question that we should be even asking” pic.twitter.com/dUfQil9qKp

Wow. Not even close to a reasonable response to a question everyone is asking. Then, when Doocy confronted her own inflation—she blatantly ignores the facts.
From Twitter:
Doocy just owned @PressSec so bad that she literally just stuttered and lied about inflation:
KJP: “[The American Rescue Plan] led to this historic economic boom that we’re seeing with jobs.”
Doocy: “Didn’t it also lead to historic inflation?”
KJP: “No.” pic.twitter.com/XhcodK3vaw

Ugh, where do we even start? CNN’s Don Lemon pressed the WH press secretary over the ongoing concerns about Biden’s health.
Jean-Pierre refused to provide a real answer, claiming it is not something we should be asking.
Hey, everyone, don’t ask about Joe Biden’s health, okay? You’re not alone to worry if a man in his late 80s has the stamina to do the hardest job in the world!
Jean-Pierre sounds more like a political talking puppet, than a legitimate spokesperson. Instead of answering questions head-on, she dodges, pushing the DNC’s talking points.
That seemed to be the case when Peter Doocy pushed on the issue of inflation.
Jean-Pierre oddly claimed that Biden’s “stimulus” bill lead to an “economic boom.” When asked if it caused inflation, she flatly said “No.”
Except, the stimulus bill drove millions of people out of the workforce, as they were being paid extra unemployment.
It also flushed the U.S. economy with a trillion new dollars, lowering the value of the dollar by default.
Both of those factors contributed to a temporary bubble that quickly burst. Companies struggled to hire new workers—as Americans watched their buying power drop.
So, why isn’t Jean-Pierre admitting this? Is her job to simply answer questions honestly, or prop up the presidency’s image?
Key Takeaways:
- WH press secretary ignored a question from CNN over Biden’s failing health.
- She flat-out said “No” when asked if Biden’s stimulus bill contributed to inflation.
- This comes as she replaces the former press secretary, who had a tarnished reputation.
