Karine Jean-Pierre Refers To Former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin As “Steven Munchkin”
On 5/24/2023, Karine Jean-Pierre bungled her furious attack on Republicans leaving reporters in the White House struggling not to giggle when she referred to former Treasury Secretary ‘Steven Munchkin.’ She paused and held up a finger as if to repeat herself before saying again: ‘Munchkin,’ and reading one of his quotations. In fact, it was Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin who when asked whether it was possible to prioritize spending in order to delay the worst impacts of a debt crisis, said: ‘I think that doesn’t make sense. ‘The government should honor all of its obligations and the debt limit should be raised.’
And he said it in 2017, not in response to questions about the current crisis.
Negotiators for Biden and House Speaker McCarthy met again at the White House earlier in the day to try to reach a deal to raise the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and ensure the federal government can keep paying its bills.

KJP said, “Plain and simple, what we have been dealing with for the last several weeks is a manufactured crisis. Don’t take our word for it: Just listen to members of the House Freedom Caucus and are not openly, they’re saying the quiet thing out loud, referring to the full faith and credit of the United States as a hostage,” she said about the debt ceiling negotiations. “I do want to be clear here. Averting default is the responsibility of every single member of Congress.”
“The choice House Republicans make today will send a clear message to their constituents. Let’s take a look. Will Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had $183,000 of her own business loans forgiven, deny debt relief to the 92,000 student borrowers she represents? Will Rep. Vern Buchanan, who had $2.3 million in business loans forgiven vote to deny debt relief to 95,000 of his own constituents? To the more than 40 million eligible student borrowers who are eagerly waiting to hear about the state of their debt relief, tune in to today’s vote to watch which Republican lawmakers shamelessly vote against debt relief for you after having their loans forgiven. And know this. President Biden won’t stand for it!”
She said: “This is not about cutting essteful spending for Republicans, it never has been. The same Republican lawmakers objecting to student debt relief are refusing to cut billions of dollars in handouts to Big Oil.”
