#shorts On 3/3/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “But do you — wait, I’m sorry. It specifically says the word “opposes.” So is it that the administration wasn’t aware of the content, the specifics of the crime bill, and now you are aware and the President says he doesn’t support some of the changes that the D.C. Council put forward? Because when you released the SAP, I’m assuming, maybe incorrectly, that you were very aware of what the Council was proposing.

KJP: We were aware what the Council proposed — were proposing. What we’re saying was that we wanted to make sure that we continued the President’s — the President’s continued push for — for statehood. And that’s what we did. That’s what we did in the SAP. And that was what was the most important thing that we believed. There was no veto threat in the SAP. There really wasn’t. We may have — it may have been — I just read it while you were asking me. We didn’t oppo- — we opposed it, but there was no veto threat.
