Jean-Pierre insists, “There’s no ‘there’ there” when asked if Hunter paid his own way on Ireland trip.
On 4/18/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Listen, just to close the book on Ireland, since we just got back. It was a highly personal trip. There were a lot of cousins there. Did Valerie and Hunter — (laughter) — and Hunter Biden — they flew on Air Force One. Did they contribute? Did they pay for airfare, accommodations, ground transportation? What — I think — did they?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Look, we took — we’ve — this is not the first time. Let’s be very, very clear. It is consistent with other presidents when they’ve had family travel with them abroad. This is nothing new. So I just want to make sure that we make that very clear to the American people.

Reporter: Point taken.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: And, of course, we followed every protocol that any other president or every other president has taken when they — when their family has traveled. And so, yes.
All right. I’m going to go. I’m —
Reporter: “Yes” what?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So we — we took every protocol that is necessary and needed when a family traveled. We did nothing different than past presidents. And so, yes, they paid — they paid for their way.
Reporter: They paid for their share.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah. Like every other — this is — this is not unusual. This is not the first time that families have traveled with presidents. So, there’s — there’s — there’s nothing — there’s no “there there,” as they would say.

Karine Jean-Pierre doubles down on Biden’s extreme new tailpipe emission standards.
Reporter: Senator Manchin has a statement today in which he indicates he would support a resolution disapproval of the EPA’s emission standards that were announced last week when we were in Ireland. He says that they would increase reliance on Chinese-made batteries, make a more energy-secure and powerful China. Do you have a response to that?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, the measures the EPA propose will, if implemented, do the following:

Save American drivers and truck companies an average of $12,000 over the lifetime of their vehicle, which is incredibly important.

They — they’ll cut nearly 10 billion dol- — 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions. That’s nearly twice annual U.S. emissions.

They’ll strengthen American energy security by reducing reliance on 20 million barrels of oil and — together with the historic investment that the President has already made — has secured — to build more electric cars here in America.

And they’ll put the United States on a path to outcompete China — you hear us talk about that often
Jean-Pierre gives a rambling response on why Biden supports temporary replacement for Dianne Feinstein.
Reporter: What is the White House’s reaction to Mitch McConnell saying that Republicans would block attempts by Democrats to temporary — temporarily replace Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Judiciary Committee?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … I’m not going to — I’m not going to speak to every senator or every elected official that makes a comment. But, look, what we believe — when you think about what Democrats are doing or what their request is, this is a request that is — we think that is reasonable. This is something that Senator Feins- — Feinstein asked for. This is her request. And it is flat wrong to ask partisan — to take — to seek partisan advantage from — from health issues of a colleague.

Karine Jean-Pierre completely botches one of Biden’s father’s alleged sayings.
Jean-Pierre claims Biden is limiting illegal immigration even as record numbers are crossing borders.
Karine Jean-Pierre: “Happy Tax Day … I know people are always excited about this day.”
