Wednesday’s White House press briefing was a prime example of the Biden administration’s incompetence. The first half of the briefing was led by National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby, who served as a crutch for the incompetent Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Even during what WMAL radio talk show host Vince Coglianese referred to as “the grownup press briefing” there were still noteworthy moments.
One of these came from Fox Business correspondent Grady Trimble who pointed out the Biden administration’s hypocrisy when it comes to the Chinese spyware app TikTok.
Trimble asked Kirby if Biden sees TikTok as a national security threat, “why then did the President agree to appear in TikTok videos as recently as, I think, St. Patrick’s Day?”
Kirby dodged the best he could and explained “we have not changed our national security concerns about the app” and “it’s not for use on government devices.”
Then it was time for Jean-Pierre’s ineptitude to take center stage. The Associated Press’s Aamer Madhani wanted Jean-Pierre to weigh in once again on Florida Republican Ron DeSantis’s anti-grooming legislation.
Jean-Pierre melted down in response and cried that “it’s completely, utterly wrong” to prevent teachers from talking about their sex lives with school children.
The most pathetic moment of the entire briefing came when USA Today reporter Rebecca Morin (who has pronouns in her Twitter bio) tattled on Texas Governor Greg Abbott and basically begged the Justice Department to sue him for daring to secure his state’s border.
Once again Jean-Pierre melted down and accused Abbott’s solution to Biden’s border crisis as “another political stunt.”
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy then asked the most important question of the day which was regarding the Biden crime family’s mounting scandals: “House Oversight says they’ve got bank records showing a Chinese energy company paying three Biden family members through a third party. What were they paid for?”
Jean-Pierre played dumb and demurred, “I don’t even where to begin to even answer that question because, again, it’s been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the past couple years.”
Doocy moved on and asked about the deteriorating relationship between the United States and China: “Xi told Putin at their meeting, ‘Change is coming that hasn’t happened in 100 years. And we are driving this change together.’ What do you think that means?”
Once again, Jean-Pierre had no answer. “You would have to ask them,” she replied.
Doocy gave it one last attempt to get some form of a coherent answer out of Jean-Pierre: “President Biden said: ‘To lower inflation, we should trust the Fed.’ Now the Fed is saying that rate hikes won’t be enough to quell inflation. Why does he still trust the Fed?”
“They’re an independent agency,” she responded. “He [Biden] wants to make sure they have the space to make these monetary decisions. We are not going to interfere. We are not going to get involved. And I’m certainly not going to comment.”
Clearly, the Biden administration is in over its head. Wednesday’s press briefing was a prime example of their incompetence, with Jean-Pierre unable to answer even the most basic questions. With Biden’s foreign policy in disarray and the ongoing corruption scandal involving the Biden family, it’s no wonder the American people are growing increasingly frustrated with the Biden administration.
The Biden administration needs to get its act together and start providing the American people with answers – and fast. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before even diehard libs turn away from Biden and his administration.
