Karine Jean-Pierre Denies Somebody Is Helping Biden Run The Country Amid Mental Concerns
Doocy: If the special counsel says President Biden has got “significant limitations” on his memory, then who is helping him run the country?
KJP: The President of the United States runs the country. The Commander-in-Chief runs the country.
Doocy: How can he be trusted with the nuclear codes if — I get that you’re saying that nobody in the building would say that he’s got an issue with his memory. But just the little part of what we get to see, he has made mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.
KJP: So, I’m going to be very clear here. The reality is that report — that part of the report does not live in reality. It just doesn’t.
Doocy: So, the special counsel is —
KJP: It is — it — it is —
Doocy: — lying about the President’s memory?
KJP: It is — it is — it was gratuitous. You heard from my — you heard from Ian Sams, my colleague. It is unacceptable. And it does not live in reality. That is just the facts.
And — and, look, it is a closed case. That is what the special counsel said. And what matters is — here is that the President, in the last three years, has delivered on the economy, has delivered on healthcare, has turned this country around after the last president left us with an economy that was in a tailspin. That’s what we were dealing with. That’s what we were dealing with.
If you think about the world leaders — world leads — and issues that have been going on in this country for the past two, three years — not even in this country, in the world. Right? When you think about Ukraine, the President was able to bring together NATO — NATO Allies — they have been the strongest that they’ve ever been — and make sure that we are providing what Ukraine — the brave people of Ukraine need as they’re fighting aggression — Putin’s aggression.
And that is what this President has — has been able to do. His — his experience as former senator, as former vice president, and now a president has gotten us to a place where we’ve been able to turn things around in a way that we meet the needs of the American people, whether it’s domestic issues or national security issues, and that is what matters.
Doocy: And —
KJP: That re- — part of the report does not live in reality. Bye, everybody. Have a great weekend.
Karine Jean-Pierre On Biden Downplaying His Age: “This Is A President That Also Has Delivered!”
Reporter: Just since my colleague referenced a question that we asked last night. The question was about voters having concerns about the President’s age, and his response was that that was my judgment. I was obviously making a reference to public polls that are out there that indicate that voters do have this concern. So, does the President not believe that many voters have this concern about his age?
KJP: I mean, the President has talked about it. He has joked about his age, right? He has. He has joked about his age, understanding what — what voters might think. He has. He has done — he done — he has done that pretty often. I think what he — I think the other thing that you — that we want to make sure that you all understand is that this is a president that also has delivered for the American people. That is a fact … He makes jokes about his age all the time.
Reporter: I’m just asking for clarification on why the fact that we brought up that concern prompted him to say this is “your judgment,” as though there isn’t —
KJP: Because — because what I —
Reporter: — public polling that shows that voters do have that concern.
KJP: Well, I just state- — I just stated moments ago, it is — it is your judgment — right? — in the sense of, like, that is not what we see. Right? When we see what —
Reporter: It wasn’t my judgment.
KJP: But meaning more broadly. I’m not talking about you specifically.
Reporter: Yes, more broadly —
KJP: More broadly.
Reporter: — voters have that concern.
KJP: Right.
Reporter: I’m just asking: Does the President believe and understand that that is a concern that voters have?
KJP: I already he said he understands. That’s why he makes jokes about it.
Reporter: Do you think there’s any risk to the President sounding like he’s dis- — dismissing that concern when he has that kind of reaction to a question like that?
KJP: Look, the President is going to obviously speak for himself
