Silence is golden….especially when it’s from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre!
On Tuesday, Jean-Pierre was left speechless after African reporter Simon Ateba blasted her for continuously dodging questions about President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal. He was so fed up that he literally told her that she was not fit for her role as press secretary!
“Karine, since you don’t have any answer on the classified documents, you don’t seem a good fit for this job,” Ateba declared as Jean-Pierre attempted to call upon another reporter. “We do not seem to have any answer from you.”
Oh to be a fly on the wall!
WATCH:
Jean-Pierre is notorious for dodging questions, perhaps even worse than her predecessor, “circle back” Jen Psaki.
During the same presser that she was blasted by Ateba, KJP dodged Fox News White House reporter Peter Doocy five times as he tried to ask about the ‘GarageGate’ scandal.
Doocy pressed Jean-Pierre on Biden’s travel to Delaware after documents were found at his Wilmington home on Friday and she stonewalled his questions, stating that she refused to “go down a rabbit hole” on the issue.
“After the special counsel was named, but before the FBI searched, President Biden went to his house in Wilmington. What was he doing in there?” Doocy asked.
“I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office,” Jean-Pierre replied.
“So, something relating to this case,” Doocy pressed.
“I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office,” Jean-Pierre echoed.
“Do you think that the story was leaked by someone trying to bruise the president politically ahead a re-election announcement?” Doocy questioned.
“I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office, as they’ve been the ones who have been closely involved,” Jean-Pierre repeated.
“More basically, we know the president did it. Why did he do it?” Doocy asked.
“I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office,” Jean-Pierre stated, once again.
Doocy tried rewording, “In the president’s own words, he admits to having information that wasn’t his. Why did he smuggle it out?”
“I will let the statement of the president stand for itself. I’m just not going to go down a rabbit hole with you on this,” Jean-Pierre flatly replied and then called another reporter.
