‘This was the spin she selected’? KJP tells MSNBC why Biden didn’t mean the pandemic is over when he said ‘the pandemic is over’
During the part of an interview with Scott Pelley of “60 Minutes” that took place at the Detroit Auto Show, President Biden said “the pandemic is over.”
The next day, Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the president didn’t really say what everybody heard come out of his mouth. Compare & contrast:
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ KJP TODAY: "The president said, and he was very clear in his 60 Minutes interview, that COVID remains a problem."
Biden in his 60 Minutes interview: "The pandemic is over."

The spinning from Jean-Pierre continued on MSNBC. But this time there was an extra caveat:
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ WH @PressSec says Biden didn't actually mean the Covid pandemic is over despite saying it: "Just to step back for a second, when he made those comments, he was walking through the Detroit car show, the halls of the Detroit car show, he was looking around."

Yeah, so ... was Brandon overcome by the car wax fumes???
That’s some kind of stretch even for KJP!
Stretch? She's on another planet.
Mr. T-Cell ABOLISH THE FED (@MrTCell__) ~ “There are cars in the Detroit Car Show. Yes, cars. And that’s where he was. At the Detroit Car show and that’s why he said the pandemic is over even though it’s not because of the cars.”
Yep, the “pandemic is over,” but only for the cars, or something.
Guy Benson (@guypbenson) ~ This was the spin she selected?
Yeah, I know it was unbelievably stupid, Guy, but ya gotta understand ... KJP didn't have her binder with her and she had to come up with something - ANYTHING - on the fly.
So Biden meant the “pandemic is over,” but only at the Detroit Auto Show? That’s pathetic even for Jean-Pierre.
Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) ~ Shorter KJP: The President gets confused and doesn’t know what he’s saying.
If the pandemic is over at the auto show perhaps Biden should just declare the entire country to be an auto show. The science is solid!
Knoxville (@knoxvillyn) ~ WHO IS THE PRESIDENT???? It is clearly not @POTUS.
Abigail Marone (@abigailmarone) ~ Shorter KJP: the supposed “leader” of the free world gets easily distracted by shiny cars and says things he doesn’t mean.
Yep, Brandon gets distracted by shiny things. Where's that damn Easter Bunny? Get him over here and escort Brandon away from the microphone and the camera, NOW!!!
Even taking her spin at face value certainly doesn’t make it any better.
