#shorts On 9/21/2023, during White House Press Brief, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “And following up on Peter’s comment about the fundraiser. For — you know, we all understand these are off camera. We were not witnesses to that, except for our pool that was present. But for the President to retell a story we’ve all heard him tell many times —
KJP: Yeah.
Reporter: — in full — and stipulating that we often — as human beings, you know, we misspeak. We do things. I’ve done it myself. So, stipulating all of that —
KJP: Yeah.
Reporter: — is it any concern that he would fully retell a story in the same space in the same event?
KJP: Sometimes I re- — re-speak as well from here and retell a story. But, look, you know, I think it’s important to note that the President was speaking, as you said, at a fundraiser, and he was speaking from his heart.
Reporter: So, you think knowingly and mindfully that he wanted to retell it?
KJP: You know, I have not spoken to the President about it, certainly. But what I can’t say is: The passion that he has when he tells that story and how important it is for him to have done something because he believed, you know, our democracy was at stake.
