Karine Jean-Pierre can’t say if Biden will speak with the families of the U.S. troops killed by Iran-proxies.
“Don’t have any calls to read out.”
“The families of some of the American hostages are back in Washington this week. Is the president willing to meet with them again?
Karine Jean-Pierre: “I don’t have anything to read out.”
Brave KJP from WH lawn without notes or binder, struggled to string together coherent sentences, 3 folks 1/29/24
Jean Pierre was speaking from the White House lawn in her appearance on Morning Joe. Speaking without notes or binder, Jean Pierre put on a brave face as she struggled to string together coherent sentences. Jean Pierre, “What I will say, our deepest, uh, obviously our deepest condolences uh, go out, and our heart, heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three folks who are, who are military folks who are brave who are always fighting, who were fighting on behalf and, of uh, this administration, of the American people obviously more so more importantly uh, we lost those souls as the President said yesterday when he was in South Carolina.”
Reporter: And just one last one on the UNRWA controversy. Israel says that they have information about 13 employees who were connected to the October 7th attack. Do you have any reason to believe that that might have been more widespread, that there could be information that later indicates that it was beyond those 13 people?
MR. KIRBY: I haven’t seen any information that affirmatively makes that case, that it’s more than, now, 13. I think last week, we were looking at a dozen. That’s why an investigation is so dang important here, so that we can look at the scope of the problem set.
Reporter: does the White House acknowledge that the previous retaliatory strikes that it has taken in the region have been ineffective at protecting American troops?
MR. KIRBY: The strikes that we have taken in the past have definitely had an impact on degrading and disrupting the activities of some of these groups. Clearly, they have decided to keep conducting those attacks. And now it’s had lethal consequences for American troops.
And so, we will weigh an additional set of options before us. The President will make his decision to respond appropriately. The attacks need to stop.
