Reporters hammered White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Tuesday to answer for President Biden’s widely panned debate performance last week that re-ignited concerns over his mental fitness.
“All of us saw what happened on Thursday, where [Biden] simply could not form coherent answers to many … of the questions,” one reporter asked, warning that his next question was a delicate one and the president “may not like to hear it” if he’s watching.
“But I think the American people need to get a yes or a no answer on this: Does President Biden, at 81 years old, have Alzheimer’s, or any form of dementia or degenerative illness that causes these sorts of lapses?” the reporter asked. “And it’s a yes or no question.”
“I have an answer for you, are you ready for it,” Jean-Pierre responded, looking visibly annoyed. “It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question”
The “other guy” presumably meant Biden’s opponent, former President Trump.
If she tells the truth she’ll lose her position as Press Secretary.
It’s called job security.
