Karine Jean-Pierre went to war with Peter Doocy and it ended in this very bad way
Karine Jean-Pierre had another tough day at the office.
As usual, it involved her sparring sessions with Peter Doocy.
And Karine Jean-Pierre went to war with Peter Doocy and it ended in this very bad way.
Karine Jean-Pierre has no answer for why Lebanon gets money ahead of American citizens
The media is doing its best to avert its eyes from the shambolic response by the Biden-Harris administration to Hurricane Helene.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falls apart in her press briefings when Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy questions her because he is one reporter who doesn’t frame his questions along the lines of asking her to explain why Democrats are so wonderful and former President Trump is literally Hitler.
This time Doocy wanted to know what it said about the values of the Biden-Harris administration that they immediately shoveled $157 million out the door to Lebanon but had to ask Congress to come back in session to pass a relief bill for the people of North Carolina devastated by Helene.
“President Biden is fond of saying, ‘Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value,’” Doocy said. “If he’s got money for people in Lebanon right now without Congress having to come back, what does it say about his values [if] there’s not enough money right now for people in North Carolina who need it?”
Jean-Pierre’s response showed she doesn’t understand the concept of a question or misinformation.
“Your whole premise of the question is misinformation, Sir!” Jean-Pierre shot back.
“I just mentioned $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area,” Jean-Pierre replied. “And I just shared with you that people are deciding not to–”
Doocy wondered how a question could be misinformation since the goal is to elicit an accurate answer.
Karine Jean-Pierre melts down
Doocy’s question clearly flustered Jean-Pierre seven different ways from Sunday.
“No, the way you’re asking me the question is misinformation,” Jean-Pierre replied. “There is money that we are allocating to the impacted areas. And there’s money there to help people who truly need it. There are survivors who need the funding, who need the funding, and it’s there.”
Doocy exposed the scam Democrats run with “misinformation” with how they really just use the term to describe information they don’t like.
“You can’t call a question that you don’t like ‘misinformation,’” Doocy told Jean-Pierre.
Jean-Pierre then ended up admitting Doocy was right and that the federal government didn’t have enough money to cover the destruction wrought by Hurricane Milton.
“I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene and also Hurricane Milton,” Jean-Pierre said. “Now, there’s going to be a shortfall, right? Because we don’t know how bad Hurricane Milton is going to be. And so, we’re going to need additional funding.”
“That’s exactly what I just asked about, and you said it was misinformation,” Doocy exclaimed.
But Jean-Pierre still didn’t have a good answer as to why President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were ready to dump money down the drain in Lebanon but were crying poverty when it came to helping American citizens.
“What you’re asking me is why Congress needs to come back and do their job,” Jean-Pierre ranted. “That’s what you’re asking me. Congress needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistance, extra funding to disaster relief fund. That’s what Congress needs to do, and we’re gonna continue to urge that. You may not want that, but that’s ok. That’s what this President wants, and that’s what the Vice President wants.”
