On 9/1/2022, Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke for the White House which believes you must agree with the majority, otherwise you are an extremist, during the White House press briefing. Jean-Pierre would not say if President Joe Biden believes all “74 million people [who] voted for [President Donald] Trump” are extremists. Jean-Pierre said they’re not concerned President Joe Biden’s constant insults are “stoking the divisiveness,”
and she said the “MAGA agenda” is “one of the most extreme agendas that we have seen.”

“you know, the President is going to call that out. He’s going to continue to do everything that he can to make sure that we protect people’s freedoms. He’s going to do everything that he can to call that out. And, you know, that is important to call out. That is important to talk about. And, again, we see a majority of Americans who disagree. And so, when you are not with where a majority of Americans are, then, you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking. I’m not going to — that’s what I have for you, Phil.”

Reporter: Going back to tonight’s speech, obviously, you said that the President is going be calling out these lawmakers that are MAGA lawmakers in Congress. But yet, 74 million people voted for Trump last time around. You said it’s a small number that the White House believe are extremists. Can you give us an idea of a ballpark? Are we talking a million of that 74 million? Are we talking about 1 percent, 20 percent? What kind of number are we talking about?

KJP: Well, I’m talking about — I’m talking about specifically of MAGA officeholders. That’s what we’re talking about.
Reporter: Not supporters?
KJP: I already answered this question about how, you know, we feel like we’ve touched a nerve — right? — when folks are saying that we’re trying to be divisive or that we’re talking about millions of voters. That’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about MAGA officeholders …

Reporter: So if it’s MAGA officeholders, we’ve seen Democratic groups, something like the Democratic Governors Association, boost Trump candidates — like Maryland, if you think of Dan Cox, who just got the nomination. Is that then hypocritical if you’re saying, “We’ve got to make sure these MAGA supporters are not in office,” but you’ve got Dem groups that are boosting their campaigns in the primary election?

KJP: I mean, I can’t talk about campaigns and what another — another candidate is doing or a committee is doing. I can’t speak from that from here.

Reporter: And obviously, there has been a lot of focus on previous speeches, previous comments, the one in Maryland the other day. Is it only on the far right that deserves to be called out? Or are there elements of the far left that also deserve to be either scrutinized or lectured?

KJP: I just laid out there’s going to be some people who agree with him and who disagree with him, who agree who — whether its legislative initiatives or programs. That’s going to happen. But what we’re going to hear from him is how to move the country forward. That’s going to be the focus of the speech tonight.

Reporter: Democrats and people on the left are pretty happy about the more aggressive tone they’re seeing from the President and from the White House. But you’re also facing some criticism, which has been brought up, that this aggressive tone is also stoking the divisiveness that he’s trying to heal. Any concerns about that?

KJP: You know, the President is never going to shy away from calling out what he sees. And I said this yesterday, and I — and I’ll say this now. You know, I’m assuming the divisive tone is coming from — from whom?

Reporter: From the right.

KJP: From the right. So, look, we understand we hit a nerve. We get that. We understand that they’re trying to hide. And we understand that ultra MAGA officeholders want to play games …

Reporter: Thanks, Karine. Is tonight a political speech?

KJP: No, it’s not a political speech. This is an opportunity, again, for the President to directly have a conversation with the — with the — the American people.

Reporter: But if that includes things, as that you were saying to one of my colleague’s questions — you know, concerned about this MAGA Republican, this extremist agenda — and that’s something he’s going to talk about tonight, how is that not a political speech?

KJP: Well, I said he’s not going to shy away from that. And, of course, he’s going to talk about voter participation. Of course, he’s going to talk about getting Americans to get involved and participate in this effort to fight our democracy. That is something that he’s certainly going to talk about. But what we’re — what I’m trying to say is: This is a broader speech.
