At Cabinet Meeting, Biden Tells Reporters I Plan On Being In The PGA!.
On 6/6/2023, Joe Biden trolled a reporter asking questions about the PGA, LIV Golf merger. The PGA Tour and LIV Golf agreed to merge into a new commercial entity. The PGA Tour has agreed to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf. Reporters asked Joe Biden about the PGA merging with LIV after his cabinet meeting. This is Biden’s only public event for the day and he wouldn’t even interact with reporters. “Do you have a comment on the PGA merging with LIV?” a reporter asked Joe Biden. “I plan on being in the PGA!” Biden said trolling the reporters.

Karine Jean-Pierre: Biden Saying He Was ‘In The PGA’ Meant He Had No Comment On PGA/LIV Merger
Reporter: I’m hoping you can clarify as it relates to the LIV-PGA merger. Yesterday, the President was asked about this merger during the Cabinet meeting, and he said, “I’m going to be in the PGA.” Can you clarify: Had he been briefed about the merger before? Was he aware of what he was being —

KJP: Absolutely —
Reporter: Okay.
KJP: — he had been. Yes.
Reporter: And what did he mean, then, by it? Was he just laughing off the question?
KJP: I just think that he was basically saying, “I’m not going to comment.”

Karine Jean-Pierre Lashes Out At Question If Biden Refusal To Comment On PGA/LIV Makes Him Look Weak
On 6/7/2023, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “on the merger. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board said this is more than just a private deal. It’s really about MBS sort of thumbing his nose at the President. They point out that the Saudis entered a China-brokered deal with Iran; they’re cozying up to Maduro; cut oil production ahead of Blinken’s visit, helping Russia, driving up prices, hurting Biden. And they write, “Is Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman trolling President Biden?” Call it “the revenge of the ‘pariah.’”

KJP: … It is two private entities, and we’re just not going to comment.

Reporter: Doesn’t that risk making the President look weak if there’s no comment? When you have Democratic senators saying that the President’s Justice Department should be looking at this with respect to antitrust questions, foreign registration questions, doesn’t “no comment” fall short?

KJP: … our foreign policy relationship with heads of states was gutted and destroyed by the last administration.

Q: Is it typical to get briefed on private deal?
KJP: because we’re saying that we’re not going to speak to a private merger — a company’s merger, a private entity — does not make the President weak.

Reporter: You said he was briefed on it though, right?

KJP: That does not make the President — of course he’s going to be briefed on it. He’s the President of the United States. But it does not —

Reporter: So why can’t you comment on — on it?

KJP: But that — but we’re not going to comment on it because it is a private entity. We’ve been consistent —

Reporter: Then why would he be briefed on it?

KJP: We’ve been consistent — He’s the President of the United States. He kno- — he — he gets to know everything that’s going on in the — in the world and in the country — right? — that is important for him to know. He is — he is one of the leaders of the free world.

Reporter: Is it typical to get briefed on private —
KJP: All right, this is —
Reporter: (Laughs.) I mean —
KJP: I’ve — I’ve answered your question. We’re going to move on.

Q: Do you really mean no comments on this massive investment taking a huge foothold biggest sports?
Reporter: … Do you really mean to say that you have no comments on this massive investment by Saudi Arabia taking a huge foothold in one of the U.S.’s biggest sports?

KJP: Well, we’ve been very clear, when it comes to mergers, when it comes to a private entity, we do not comment. I mean, that is not — that is not unnatural, that is not uncommon from us here at the White House.

Look when it comes to human —
Reporter: This is involving a foreign government that —
KJP: Wait. Wait, let me finish.
Reporter: — the U.S. has massive equities with.
KJP: Let — let me — let me finish … very, very clear: When it comes to a merger with these two entities, that is something that we are just not going to comment on … we’ve been very clear
