On 9/15/2022, President Joe Biden tried to say his administration has “a process in place” to “manage” immigration, during his remarks at the 45th Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala.
On 9/15/2022, at a briefing, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “The President dismissed the inflation report and the stock market selloff on his way out of town yesterday. And then he said that test driving an electric car that cost more than double the average American’s yearly salary made him feel optimistic. Is there — do you have a response to critics who say that this administration is “out of touch”?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But can you say that one more time? The President dismissed —
Heinrich: He dismissed the inflation report. He said he wasn’t worried about it. We’re talking about one tenth of one percentage. And then he said he wasn’t concerned about the stock market selloff, because he said the stock market doesn’t represent the broader economy. And then he went to Detroit and test drove a vehicle, an electric car, that’s just out of price range for the average American.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So let me — so, I get your question now. So the President’s number-one priority — economic priority has been lowering costs for the American people … Look, the question that the President was asked about the day before yesterday, which shows more progress — that data — the CPI data, which is what he was — he was speaking to — shows more progress in bringing global inflation down in the U.S. economy. Overall, prices have been essentially flat in our country these last two months. That is welcome news for American families. But no doubt — no doubt, we have more work to do, and we understand that.
Reporter: A couple of Republicans wrote the White House today seeking information about the student debt plan. It’s Representatives James Comer and Virginia Foxx. They’re concerned that the officials who worked on the plan themselves may benefit from it, and are seeking documentation about how many White House aides would benefit from the student debt cancellation. Do you have any response to that?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So —
Reporter: I’m pretty sure you just got the letter today.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah, I haven’t seen the letter, so I — certainly I’m not going to respond to something I haven’t received. But I’ll say —
Reporter: They’re essentially saying that they wonder if something is amiss, if people who —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, I — I —
Reporter: — have debt are working on the plan (inaudible).
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Let’s be very clear here. There’s — there’s always so much noise around the student let — the student loan debt relief. Let’s be very clear on … And I’ll leave it there.
Reporter: Does the White House think that aides who worked on it were biased in any way if they themselves had student debt (inaudible)?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Again, I’m not going to respond to a letter I haven’t seen …
