On 10/19/2022, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “one more that folds in the President’s top domestic priorities. In Georgia, the President’s endorsed candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, is suggesting that one may — one way to mitigate the effects of inflation is to get an abortion. Does President Biden agree?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I did not see her comments on this, so I don’t know the context of this. Again, I want to be careful because this is a political debate, and it — it’s related to a midterm, an election. So I — this is — I’m not going to comment on that.
Reporter: You have condemned governors sending migrants through various cities across the country. But where should officials that are overwhelmed by the number of migrants coming into their cities and into their shelters — where should they send the migrants?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, we have said many times before there’s a process — a legal process … What we have seen from governors is that they are using –using migrants as a political tool. And that’s not the way to do it …
Q But does President Biden want more migrants to come to Delaware?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I don’t even understand that question. But I’ll move on.
No update on Biden’s baby formula crisis, which began 8+ months ago.
Q The U.S. Census Bureau said recently that adults in roughly one-third of households with infants and children that use formula had trouble finding it. Obviously, the administration has taken a number of steps over the last several months to try to address the shortage. Why is the shortage still ongoing after so much time, and what can be done?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, the President and his administration has — has taken actions, as you know, through the last several months to make sure that we have progress to address this current — this issue — this issue that is currently happening right now … So, we have seen some improvement. We understand that there’s more work to be done. And — and so we’re going to continue to work on that as well.
Jean-Pierre repeatedly talks about the Hatch Act, even as she promoted Democratic midterm election messaging and attacked Republicans.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, first, let me just say, got to be mindful, because of the Hatch Act, on when I speak about —
Q Sure, but I’m asking from —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: — I cannot speak —
Q — the White House — yeah.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, I’m going to get there. I’m going to get — give me a second. I have to lay this out.
Q Yeah.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Right. It is my prerogative to say I don’t — want to make sure that I adhere to the Hatch Act. So that — I put that out there … But, you know, the other piece of this too is you have congressional Republicans who were doing the opposite. They don’t want to give the healthcare costs. They won’t bring down healthcare costs. They don’t want to bring down energy costs. If anything, they want to increase what Americans are paying …
