#shorts On 7/24/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “I want to follow up on Commander. I actually had some experience with presidential dogs —
KJP: Oh —
Reporter: — biting me. So I thought that I’d ask this question.
KJP: I wonder why.
Reporter: Yeah. (Laughter.)
KJP: Sorry, that was too easy.
Reporter: No, I’ll tell you. You know, it was — it was George W. Bush’s dog.
KJP: Oh?
Reporter: And George W. Bush’s election — I’m sorry, Barack Obama’s election had just occurred. So I think Barney was getting used to the idea of leaving the White House and just was disappointed that he’d be leaving. So, I mean — anyway, I wanted to ask you about —
KJP: That’s a real psychological —
Reporter: I’ve thought about it. (Laughs.)
KJP: — understanding of a dog there, my friend. (Laughter.)
Reporter: So, under D.C. municipal rules, after a dog bites an individual, the dog must be quarantined for 10 days. Do you know if Commander was quarantined for —
KJP: I —
Reporter: — a period of time?
KJP: I would have to refer you to USSS.
Reporter: Okay.
KJP: I have to refer you to the Secret Service. You know, my team and I kind of did a bet to see how many times I would get questions on Commander. (Laughter.)
Reporter: Who’s winning?
Reporter: Who wins?
KJP: I don’t know. I got to — when — after this, I’ll let you know who’s winning. All right?
