Karine Jean-Pierre Gaslights: Biden ‘Is As Sharp As Ever’
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden is “as sharp as ever” as he faces growing calls to step down following his disastrous debate performance.
Her remarks come as the president, vice president, Biden’s campaign, and the Democratic Party have remained united publicly about Biden remaining as the party’s nominee heading into November.
A reporter asked Jean-Pierre during the press briefing if she believed “that the president is as sharp today as he was when he took this job” and if she’s noticed any kind of “slowdown.”
“What I can say is this is a president who is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people,” she claimed. “That’s what I see. I see a president, when I’m in, sitting in front of him, you know, going through the day or talking about what he’s doing next, he is someone that engages with us. He wants to know, he pushes us, he — you know, probes us, wanting to figure out, like, the bigger picture of whatever we’re trying to explain to him or even granular details.”
“He is as sharp as ever, as I have known him to be,” she continued. “In my engagement and my experience with him, I know, when I walk into the Oval Office or, or see him on Air Force One, I have to be on top of my game. I do. That’s just kind of my engagement with him and how it’s been for the past couple of years.”
