<p>White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> appeared to admit that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> counts everyday Americans among those who constitute the “extremist threat” he has repeatedly railed against.</p>
<p>During Wednesday&#8217;s press briefing, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/new-white-house-press-secretary-spends-first-day-spinning-bidens-claim-that-higher-taxes-will-help-inflation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean-Pierre</a> told RealClearPolitics&#8217; Philip Wegmann that Biden was concerned about an “extreme portion” of the country — and she said that was not limited to only those in positions of leadership within the Republican Party.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/PhilipWegmann?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PhilipWegmann</a>: &quot;For folks sitting at home, when [Biden] is talking about&#8230;those threats&#8230;he&#39;s not referring to [them]. He&#39;s talking about [GOP] leadership?&quot;</p>
<p>KJP: &quot;Well&#8230;it&#39;s not just&#8230;leadership. It&#39;s not just that&#8230;He is talking about..an extreme portion&quot; of the country. <a href="https://t.co/7wieQBYfJi">pic.twitter.com/7wieQBYfJi</a></p>

<p>“When it comes to voters, how does the president differentiate between the ultra-MAGA folks who he sees as an extremist threat to democracy and the average GOP voter?” Wegmann asked.</p>
<p>“So — can&#8217;t talk about voters from here,” Jean-Pierre replied, prompting a brief objection from Wegmann.</p>
<p>“I just need to say that, just to be clear,” Jean-Pierre waved him off. “I mean, the president has been really clear about the leadership, right, the MAGA Republicans in leadership. They&#8217;re the ones who have the platform, they&#8217;re the ones who — again, the extremist part of the Republican Party. They&#8217;re the ones who folks listen to in their own party, and by inciting violence, by trying to take away — they&#8217;re the ones who are the legislators who are trying to take away our rights, trying to take away our freedoms. And that&#8217;s who the president is speaking to, right, he&#8217;s being very targeted in that way in calling that out.”</p>
<p>She went on to say that Biden believed it was important to keep calling that out because he couldn&#8217;t allow democracy to be “attacked” in that way.</p>
<p>Wegmann pushed back, asking Jean-Pierre to clarify that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/shapiro-joe-biden-is-the-real-semi-fascist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> was not referring to the average Republican voter who was sitting at home, watching things unfold on cable news.</p>
<p>“For folks sitting at home, when the president is talking about preserving the soul of the nation and those threats to democracy, he&#8217;s not referring to those individuals, he&#8217;s talking about Republican leadership?” Wegmann pressed.</p>
<p>“Well, let me be very clear: it&#8217;s not just Republican leadership,” Jean-Pierre contradicted the position she&#8217;d taken just seconds earlier. “It&#8217;s not just that blanket, right, he is talking about an extreme portion, an extreme part of the party. He&#8217;s been very, very clear about that.”</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre went on to say that Biden didn&#8217;t mean all Republicans, noting that he had recently singled out Republican Maryland Governor Larry Hogan as a conservative Republican who was “not in that bucket.”</p>
