On 12/5/2022, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre started with “It’s almost like you guys were not expecting me to be out.”
Reporter: You caught us off guard.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I don’t know.
Reporter: Day 625 of the administration —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I don’t know, right?
Reporter: — and it finally happened.
Reporter: Shockwaves.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: As we go into 2023, you know, just going to do things a little different.

She ended the press briefing to ignore a reporter’s touch question: Why were some of the press corps not invited to the Holiday reception?

Jean-Pierre said, “With that — oh, hi, Josh. How are you? I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Reporter: I know, you said that last time.
Jean-Pierre: I feel like I don’t see you enough. Clearly — clearly, I miss you.
Reporter: Well, I have a thousand questions for you. (Laughter.)
Jean-Pierre: Go — go for it.
Reporter: Let’s just go.
Jean-Pierre: Shocker.
Reporter: Two subjects.
Jean-Pierre: Okay. Okay, Josh.

Reporter: Just one more on — President Xi is now in Saudi Arabia speaking with the King and the Crown Prince. There was much fanfare around his visit. Does the President feel slighted at all with his visit, which didn’t get as much pomp and circumstance?

Jean-Pierre: I’m sorry, say that one more time.

Reporter: So, there were dances and fanfare around the visit from President Xi coming, and the President didn’t get the same kind of reception in Saudi Arabia. I’m wondering if there’s any slight —

Jean-Pierre: They met in Bali — right? — with — with —

Reporter: They met in Bali, but I’m talking about when the President went to Saudi Arabia to visit MBS and — the Crown Prince.

Jean-Pierre: And so, your question is —

Reporter: My question is: Does he feel slighted that —

Jean-Pierre: No.

Reporter: — there wasn’t the same kind of fanfare?

Jean-Pierre: No, not at all.

We’re going to keep moving. Go ahead.

Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked Jean-Pierre, “The White House and the President were very vocal about Georgia’s new election law when it was signed in March of 2021. The big argument from the White House was that it would suppress voting. But there was record turnout in the primary, there was record turnout in the general, record turnout in the runoff in early voting, absentee ballots, and in-person voting. So is the DOJ going to drop their lawsuit against the state?”

Jean-Pierre: I can’t speak to DOJ’s actions and what they’re going to do.

Heinrich: The President, though, called it “Jim Crow in the 21st century” and a “blatant attack on the Constitution.” So does he still see it that way?

Jean-Pierre: I’ll say this: I’m not going to speak to the Department of Justice legal actions. That’s something for them to — to speak to. What I can say — and not — not going to get into specifics of your question, but you guys — you all have reported this, that there was suppression, that — that we saw that throughout — through that — throughout the Georgia election. So that is something that was reported on. So I leave it to those reports. But, look, even with that, the American people came out. They came out in a historic fas- — fashion … this is something that the American people spoke very loud and clear. And they did that because of the success that this President has had on his legislative agenda, because of the — of what the President has been able to deliver, because of what Democrats has been able to do and making sure we had a sharp message for the American people to see the contrast … people have said — I’ve heard some of your colleagues say earlier this morning — that stunning- — it was a stunningly bad cycle for Republican senators. And a lot of that is because of their agenda. It is because they embodied the ultra-MAGA ideas. And even with all of that, the American public came out, and they put a lot of that to rest, a lot of what the pr- — what the Republican officials were putting forth, their plan, to rest. And they said it very loud and clear …
