Karine Jean-Pierre snapped when confronted with a dark secret about Joe Biden
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is one of Joe Biden’s worst enablers.
But now the charade is up.
And Karine Jean-Pierre snapped when confronted with a dark secret about Joe Biden.
Karine Jean-Pierre flails about trying to answer why Joe Biden doesn’t hold news conferences
President Joe Biden held 37 news conferences, the fewest of any President since Calvin Coolidge’s single term in the White House from 1925 to 1929, according to the American Presidency Project.
CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre the question with the most glaringly obvious answer ever which was why Biden doesn’t hold more press conferences.
Jean-Pierre claimed Biden spoke to the press all the time.
“It was important to him to have these personal touches,” Jean-Pierre stated. “It was important to him to do something that he hadn’t done before. Bring them to his home city … But there’s going to be plenty of opportunities. It’s not like we’re not allowing all of you to see many other things that are going to develop throughout the day.”
Jean-Pierre said the press could ask Biden questions at an event at his high school and one about cancer research.
“I mean, I just went through them. A ‘Quad’ family photo, he’s going to take them to his high school. You all are gonna be there. There’s going to be a very important announcement about Cancer Moonshot, you are all going to be there … Can you also appreciate that we have created other opportunities?” Jean-Pierre added.
But these aren’t real press conferences where reporters can ask follow-up questions, something Newsmax’s James Rosen knew and called her out on.
“They’re called photo ops. That’s what you’ve created,” Rosen exclaimed. “They’re not a press conference, which we would prefer.”
Joe Biden’s lack of press conferences
O’Keefe asked Jean-Pierre how Biden could be the most transparent President ever if he never took questions.
“What I was going to suggest is, it baffles people in this room, especially people who are watching this and wondering why we harp on these kinds of things, what baffles us is this is a President who from day one committed to be the most transparent President possible, who has given speeches at various events saying that he stands for and respects the freedom of the press,” O’Keefe added.
“And here is a great opportunity while standing with the leader from the world’s largest democracy, India, and two other key democracies who are from a region of the world who is struggling to maintain democracy. Why not face questions from reporters of the free press in that setting?” O’Keefe continued.
Rosen tried to interrupt again and Jean-Pierre blew her stack.
“Excuse me, excuse me, I’m not speaking to you, I really am not. Let me have my conversation with Ed,” Jean-Pierre snarled. “Let me have my conversation with Ed, thank you.”
Joe Biden won’t take questions because Democrats don’t want to remind Americans that he is President.
That helps Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign as both the change candidate and duck questions about when she knew he was senile.
