Friday was Jen Psaki’s final day as President Biden’s press secretary, and today the Karine Jean-Pierre era began. Judging by how many questions were sidestepped or simply not directly answered, the transition is going to be seamless.
Jean-Pierre’s tenure began by reminding reporters about her qualifications and credentials (and by that, we mean sexual orientation and immigration history). Jean-Pierre then went on to not really provide an answer to a question about why President Biden will visit Buffalo, NY tomorrow but didn’t feel the need to go to Waukesha.
Moving on, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about this tweet from @JoeBiden:
Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) ~ You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
As you can see, Biden’s new press secretary took a time-honored approach for this administration, which is to pretend to not know what Doocy’s referring to followed by refusing to actually answer the question:
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ DOOCY: "The President's Twitter account posted the other day ... How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?"
KJP: "Um, so ... Are you talking about a specific tweet?"

That rambling non-answer makes it sound as if Jean-Pierre has been taking question answering lessons from Kamala Harris!
Go get your shine box (@billy_bagels) ~ “Ah, umm, ahh,umm.” She’s doing great.
There were more “ums” and “uhs” in that non-answer than actual words.
Well, in her defense, she likes to slurp on vaginas and has lots of melanin in her skin, so ... she shouldn't have to answer anything but softball, leftist-friendly questions. I mean ... she's a VICTIM, after all!
AmerConservative (@ConservativAmer) ~ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡 She has no idea what @JoeBiden is saying, that's because Joey has no idea how the economy works ...
In fairness to Jean-Pierre, there was no way to answer the question about @JoeBiden’s tweet honestly because it’s so incredibly economically illiterate.
