On 8/3/2022, during the White House press briefing, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre why Republicans are “more jazzed” than President Joe Biden about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. Doocy asked, “How come Republicans seem more jazzed about Speaker Pelosi’s trip than the President?” Jean-Pierre appeared to mock Doocy’s question, You’re going to have to ask Republicans. “Jazzed”?”

Doocy: Well, yeah. I mean —

Jean-Pierre: Do they have jazz hands, Peter?

Doocy: Do I have jazz hands?

Jean-Pierre: (Laughs.) Do they have jazz hands?

Doocy: Do they?

Jean-Pierre: You said “jazzed” — that they’re feeling “jazzed.”

Doocy: We can have our Hill team check. (Laughter.) But Mitch McConnell said, “I think it’s important for the Speaker to go to Taiwan.” Lindsey Graham said the idea of her going “is a good thing.” Chuck Grassley, “I’m sure glad that she went.” Is President Biden just worried about hurting Xi’s feelings?

Jean-Pierre: I — so you’re saying, because they said that, then we’re not “jazzed”?

Doocy: Yeah. Absolutely.

Jean-Pierre: (Laughs.) We’ve been very clear — we’ve been very clear for, gosh, the past week or so, that the Speaker has the right to go to Taiwan. We have said that.

Doocy: She has a right. Yes, you’ve been clear that she has a right to go, but why is it so hard for the President just to say, “She’s a brave trailblazer, and I think it’s great that she went,” like so many others on —

Jean-Pierre: I think the President thinks that Speaker Pelosi is a great trailblazer. Look, I —

Doocy: Does he think that it was good that she went?

Jean-Pierre: Here’s the thing: What we are saying is that we cannot dictate and we will not dictate where members of Congress go. Members of Congress — wait, let me —

Doocy: Totally get that, but when —

Jean-Pierre: Let me — let me finish.

Doocy: — when they go, he doesn’t dictate if they go. Now he can say if he thinks it was good or not.

Jean-Pierre: I mean, that’s not how it works. That is not how it works here. It really isn’t. Members of Congress have —

Doocy: Can you at least say —

Jean-Pierre: — have the right to travel wherever they chose. Our part of this is to make sure we give them a thorough and complete briefing when it comes to the geopolitics of the region or the state, or when it comes to national security. That is our part in this.

Doocy: Now that Taiwan is effectively encircled by the Chinese military doing these drills, does the President think that the trip was worth the trouble?

Jean-Pierre: I’ll — look, I already said this, and I’ll just repeat it to you: There’s no reason for Beijing to turn this visit, which is consistent with longstanding U.S. policy, into some sort of crisis. There is no reason to do that. We have been very clear there’s no change in our One China policy, which is guided by the Tai- — the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979. That has not changed. And so, look, the United States will not seek and does not want a crisis here. But we are prepared to manage what Beijing chooses to do.

Doocy: And last one about that. There’s a Chinese official who says the U.S. must “pay the price” for its own mistake, and “We mean what we say.” When the Chinese threaten the U.S., does the President take them seriously?

Jean-Pierre: Again, the United States will not seek and does not want a crisis. We are prepared to manage what Beijing chooses to do. Nothing has changed when it comes to our policies. This was a precedent — this was precedent for the Speaker to travel to Taiwan. That is nothing new. And it changes absolutely nothing when it comes to our One China policy.
