The White House issued a statement clarifying an answer Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre gave during a press conference Thursday, seemingly implying that the White House could order a return to COVID-19 lockdowns if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended it.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about White House COVID-19 policy in regard to updated masking guidelines the CDC issued on Tuesday, which prompted the White House to reinstitute its own mask mandate.
