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.”

@Vin53 Joe Biden mistakenly referred to himself as a black woman during a recent radio interview.

“By the way, I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman… to serve with a black president,” he said to Philadelphia’s WURD.

“Proud to be involved of the first black woman on the Supreme Court.”

“There’s so much that we can do because, look… we’re the United States of America,” Biden stated, as reported by Daily Mail.

@sunsporter1649 The closest thing is in 1917, they say, the great pandemic. It certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. Probably ended the Second World War. All the soldiers were sick.

– Donald Trump

The Spanish Flu was 1918-20 and Second World War didn’t begin till 1939.

@sunsporter1649 On top of that, Trump frequently recycles false claims of achievement from when he was president that we have repeatedly fact-checked, including:

Follow Fact-checking politicians

He created the greatest U.S. economy in U.S. history (not by any metric).

He passed the biggest tax cut in history (it ranks 8th).

He did more for Black people than any president but Abraham Lincoln (not by any metric).

He defeated ISIS in four weeks (it took the United States and coalition partners more than two years after he took office).

He was the first president to impose tariffs on China (China has faced U.S. tariffs since George Washington first enacted them in 1789).

He increased government revenue even though he cut taxes (False).

@sunsporter1649 During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks.

@sunsporter1649 "Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
