Arr, the landlubber Karine Jean-Pierre be claimin' that Cap'n Biden already "took questions" from the scurvy reporters when he sauntered past outside the grand White House. Har har, methinks she be pullin' our peg legs with such a tale!
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been dismissive when asked about President Biden's promise to take questions from reporters. Biden had explicitly told reporters that he would not take their questions at the time he gave an address from the White House, but would do so soon. When asked for an update on Biden's promise, Jean-Pierre repeated 7 times that she didn't have anything to share about when or if that would happen. She chuckled when a reporter asked about Biden's statement that he would answer questions the next day and the day after, saying that he had taken questions from some reporters the previous day. When asked about that day, Jean-Pierre said she didn't have anything to add to his public schedule. It appears that she was referring to an exchange between Biden and a reporter about the national security threat from Russia. Biden responded to questions about his age by saying "Happy Valentine's Day" and when asked what he was giving up for Lent, he replied "You guys." There have been no other exchanges between Biden and reporters since his vow to answer questions. Biden refraining from taking formal questions from the press comes after he lashed out at reporters following the release of a report about his mental acuity. These recent incidents, along with his gaffes, continue to fuel concerns among voters about his age and ability to seek a second term.
