Karine Jean-Pierre Says She’s “Certainly Not A Dentist” When Asked About Biden’s Root Canal
On 6/12/2023, a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “is there any more information you can give on why he needed the root canal? Like, is he not good at brushing his teeth? Or does he need to floss better or anything else?
KJP: Wow. Are you talking to the millions of Americans across the country? You going to ask them that question, too?
Reporter: I did a little research this morning.
KJP: I mean, look, I am certainly not a dentist by any means, so I cannot speak to what leads to a root canal … He was not put under general anesthesia. The 25th Amendment certainly was not invoked …
Reporter: Tooth follow-up.
KJP: Go ahead.
Reporter: So local anesthesia —
KJP: Oh, my goodness. Quick follow-up?
Reporter: Tooth follow-up.
Reporter: Tooth follow-up.
KJP: Oh, tooth follow-up.
Reporter: Tooth.
KJP: Cute.
Q: We thought you regard every day here as a root canal A: Thank you, Mr. To Wit
Reporter: So the local anesthesia —
KJP: Everybody is a little giddy today.
Reporter: I know. I feel it.
KJP: What is happening?
Reporter: It feels — it has, like, Friday vibes. I’m not sure why.
KJP: I know, not Monday — not Monday afternoon vibes.
Reporter: But on the tooth can you — can you describe sort of the local anesthesia, what exactly does that mean? What was the President’s demeanor, his ability to govern as he was getting this root canal that made, you know, you decide not to invoke the 25th Amendment?
KJP: So — gosh, I hope you guys — I never — I should never get a root canal here, because then I could see the judgment that comes — coming my way.
Look, all I can say —
Reporter: We thought you regard every day here as a root canal.
KJP: Thank you, Mr. To Wit.
Karine Jean-Pierre Claims Biden Is “Restoring The Integrity Of The Department Of Justice”
Q: DOJ being weaponized against Trump? A: Biden respects the rule of law, restore DOJ integrity
Reporter: I understand that you’re not going to address the indictment of — of the former President directly, but I wanted to ask you about some of the rhetoric that has emanated around it. And, in particular, you know, several Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates have talked about this idea that the federal government — in this case, the Justice Department — is being weaponized against the President’s political opponents.
And so, I wonder what you can say to Americans whose faith in the Department of Justice and its independence and its nonpartisan nature may be shaken. What — what would you tell those folks?
KJP: So, two things. I think — two things I want to say in answering your question, Jeremy.
The first part is — and I — and I just stated this earlier before and — because the President has said this; we have said this from this administration. And — and I want to be careful that I am actually — I’m not going to speak to the case directly, just to the — this is a broader statement here: He respects — the President respects the Department of Justice. He respects the rule of law. He has said this during the campaign. He has said this multiple times during the last two years in this administration.
And we want to make sure — he particularly wants to make sure that we restore the integrity of the Department of Justice, that we do not politicize the Department of Justice. And, you know, that is something that he’s going to continue to do.
That is why, when I’m asked about the specific case — anything related to that case, we refer to the Department of Justice. Because we are not going to politicize it from here. The President is not going to politicize it from here. And we’re going to be certainly very, very, very diligent and very straightforward about that.
Q: pretty bellicose terms A: stay prepared for protest
Reporter: So — so, in addition to attacking the integrity of the Justice Department, some of the former President Trump’s allies have also talked in pretty bellicose terms about what’s happening. Congressman Andy Biggs said, “We have now reached a war phase,” saying an “eye for an eye.” Steve Bannon said, “We’re at war.” Kari Lake suggested that President Biden, the Attorney General Garland, and the Special Counsel would have to go through millions of gun-owning Americans to get to the former President. Do you have any response to that kind of rhetoric? And what — what danger do you think it presents in our country?
KJP: So, look … As it relates to any kind of protest — we have said this before; we have said this in other iterations of this — is that we are always prepared and don’t want to speculate from here. And I think the Admiral kind of stated this as well, is how we just function on a day-to-day basis. And we’re just going to stay prepared.
