#shorts On 5/8/2023, in response to questions from Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “There’s no disconnect, and there’s no calling out, as you always say, does not disconnect. There’s no disconnect. It is very clear the president can do multiple things at the same time.”
Heinrich: you have laid out all the things that the White House wants to tackle, from the country careening toward a debt limit crisis, to, you know, the southern border preparing for up to 12,000 illegal crossings a day, potentially, after Title 42 ends this week … Why is the President talking about meal vouchers for canceled flights and holding a movie night at the White House with all those things going on?
KJP: Because he’s President, and there are multiple things that the President do- — does … He should be able to do multiple things as a President, and that’s what you’re seeing from him today.
Reporter: But he talked about, you know, Memorial Day flights, but that’s three weeks away from now. He said, you know, preparing, looking ahead to Memorial Day Weekend. So it causes the question of, you know, is the President really focused on today’s biggest issues when everyone in here is asking about Title 42, the debt ceiling … and we didn’t hear the President talk about any of those things.
KJP: Regular American families — everyday families are thinking about Memorial Day Weekend. They are … And the debt limit — something that we’ve been talking about for months — again, a manufactured crisis. There is a process here. Republicans are refusing to use the process. They —
Reporter: I just hear (inaudible) a disconnect —
KJP: — are refusing to use the process.
There’s no disconnect.
Reporter: — between him being the —
KJP: No —
Reporter: — the uniter-in-chief and you guys —
KJP: There’s — there’s no —
Reporter: — “calling out,” as you always talk about it.
KJP: There’s no — there’s no disconnect. There’s no disconnect. It is very clear.
The President can do multiple things at the same time.
