On 7/25/2022, during press conference, Peter Doocy humiliated Karine Jean-Pierre when he read Biden’s econ advisor Brian Deese’s definition of a recession from 2008. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confidently asserted that two back-to-back quarters of negative GDP growth is not the technical definition of a recession. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy pointed to Biden econ advisor Brian Deese’s 2008 statement on the definition of a recession: “Economists have a technical definition of recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.” The same people who accurately defined a recession years ago are now denying the true definition of a recession. “If things are going so great, then why is it that WH officials are trying to redefine recession?” Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre. “No, we’re not redefining recession,” Jean-Pierre retorted. Doocy shot back: “If we all understand a recession to be two consecutive quarters of negative GPD growth in a row and you have the White House officials come up here to say no, no, no that’s not what a recession is…how is that not redefining recession? “Because that’s not the definition,” Jean-Pierre said. “What changed?” Peter Doocy asked. “What’s the difference other than who’s president?” Doocy said.
Jean-Pierre insisted “we are not currently in a recession or a pre-recession,” and she insisted President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion spending plan did not contribute to inflation. Jean-Pierre denied President Joe Biden has concerns he will look “misguided” if the U.S. enters the recession. Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden is “not worried about polls” two weeks after President Joe Biden was screaming about polls.
