Jean-Pierre addressed the eyebrow-raising story during a press gaggle on Air Force One while en route to Philadelphia, claiming that the president was very proud of his uncle.

The conversation began with a reporter jokingly asking Jean-Pierre whether there was a &#8220;cannibal tab&#8221; in the binder she carried to press briefings, prompting a laugh.
&#8220;There&#8217;s no cannibal tab, what are you talking about?&#8221; she joked, adding, &#8220;Is that what you&#8217;re asking about?&#8221;
When the reporter confirmed that was his question, she continued, &#8220;You saw the president, he was incredibly proud of his uncle&#8217;s service in uniform. You saw him at the war memorial, it was incredibly emotional and important to him.&#8221;
She went on to repeat part of the story, saying that Biden&#8217;s uncle had &#8220;lost his life after the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific Ocean off – near New Guinea&#8221; and pivoting quickly to attack Trump, saying that Biden didn&#8217;t believe service members were &#8220;suckers or losers.&#8221;

When reporters pressed her about the veracity of the story, Jean-Pierre said that she had nothing to add other than the fact that &#8220;it was a really proud moment for him.&#8221;

<blockquote>For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard.
Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.</blockquote>

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean Pierre</a> dodged a question on Tuesday about whether President Joe Biden will release a statement condemning extremist remarks that were made at an Islamic event in Dearborn, Michigan, late last week.
Protesters at International Al-Quds Day <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-at-islamic-event-in-americas-jihad-capital-chant-death-to-america">event</a> — a day that exists to remind the Islamic world of their opposition to Israel and the U.S. — chanted “death to America!” and “death to Israel!” on the six month anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
Jean-Pierre said that she did not have any intelligence to share about whether officials were concerned about threats to national security involving individuals who participated in the event.
When asked if Biden would release a statement about the incident, which he has often done when it&#8217;s an issue sensitive to Democrats, Jean-Pierre dodged the question.
&#8220;I mean, you&#8217;re hearing from me, right? You&#8217;re asking me a question. I&#8217;m answering it and we&#8217;ve been very vigilant about – or very consistent about denouncing that type of that type of rhetoric,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;Should we see a – should we expect a statement from the president on that?&#8221; the reporter pressed. &#8220;It was a pretty significant display.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Jean-Pierre responded, “I mean, you&#8217;re hearing from me. I think that&#8217;s important. The other part, too, that I do want to be very clear about – you know, peaceful protest is something that the president has also been very, very clear that is important for – to give folks space to peacefully protest, but any type of violent rhetoric, we are going to denounce.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Michigan activist Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute, said at the event in Dearborn: “We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why don’t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America. Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.”
“This is why Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America,” he continued.
As he spoke, chants of “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” broke out.
“Malcolm X said, and I quote: ‘We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,'&#8221; he added. “It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go, it is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and devilry to happen and would support it — such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s earth. So when these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist … The chant ‘Death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today.”
He also encouraged young children at the event to repeat the genocidal chant: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Michigan Imam Usama Abdulghani, who is also affiliated with the Hadi Institute, said at the event in Dearborn: “Imam Khomeini recognized that Israel is an evil settler colonialist project. He realized it was a cancer and he established this day.”
“Israel before this, brothers and sisters, was a sacred cow. Nobody could criticize Israel. Everybody was terrified of being anti-Semitic,” he said. “Everybody was afraid of them, but now the people of conscience very openly will criticize Israel. They recognize Israel for what it is. Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists. The people of the world now know this.”

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> appeared to short-circuit during Wednesday&#8217;s briefing, struggling to come up with an answer when pressed on President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision not to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as previously promised.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy prefaced his question with a reminder that Biden had promised to refill the SPR, claiming that he was only draining it to compensate for the spike in gas prices that he had blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
&#8220;First, the — so, you guys started draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try and help with ‘the Putin Price Hike’ a few years ago. Said you were going to refill it. But now it doesn&#8217;t seem like that&#8217;s happening. Why?&#8221; Doocy asked.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Jean-Pierre delivered a halting response, shifting responsibility to the Department of Energy and suggesting that the issue was not so much whether or not it would be refilled, but how that would eventually come about.
&#8220;Well, from — I believe the Department of Energy is — is responsible for — for that particular component — is refilling — refilling that, so I would refer to the Department of Energy.

Daniel Turner, founder and executive director for Power The Future, released a statement on the move, saying, &#8220;[President] Joe Biden drained the SPR for political reasons, cut our domestic production for his climate agenda, and now he’s leaving our critical reserve more vulnerable because he’s incompetent. As a result, Americans are paying more at the pump, more at the grocery store and our SPR is less full during a time of rising turmoil in the Middle East.&#8221;

The Biden administration lashed out on Monday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that he will ban Aljazeera, a Qatari government-controlled propaganda channel, from Israel because of the lies it has told about the October 7 terrorist attack and because some of its journalists participated in the attack.
Israeli lawmakers in the Knesset passed a measure 71-10 on Monday giving Netanyahu the power to ban the organization.
&#8220;Al Jazeera harmed Israel&#8217;s security, actively participated in the October 7 massacre, and incited against IDF soldiers,&#8221; Netanyahu posted on X. &#8220;It is time to remove the shofar of Hamas from our country. The terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel.&#8221;
&#8220;I intend to act immediately in accordance with the new law to stop the channel&#8217;s activity,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I welcome the law promoted by Communications Minister Shlomo Karai with the support of coalition members led by coalition chairman Ofir Katz.&#8221;
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at Israel during the White House press briefing on Monday, saying that it was concerning that Israel would ban a propaganda network that is controlled by a country that has <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/terror-watch-its-time-rethink-our-relationship-qatar-opinion-1834604">strong ties</a> to terrorism.
&#8220;At least the reports that we’ve seen — is about Al Jazeera, specifically. But it doesn’t matter, whichever — right? — journalists more broadly,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But if it is true — if it is true, a move like this is concerning. We believe in the freedom of the press. It is critical. It is critically important. And the United States supports the critically important work journalists around the world do. And so — and that includes those who are reporting in — in the conflict in Gaza.&#8221;
&#8220;So, we believe that work is important, the freedom of the press is important,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And if those reports are true, it is concerning to us.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday addressed backlash against President Joe Biden for celebrating and declaring Easter Sunday as “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender Day of Visibility</a>,&#8221; dismissing the controversy as intentional &#8220;misinformation&#8221; from conservatives.
Biden and his White House not only issued the proclamation on Friday, but also issued numerous posts on social media on Easter Sunday to <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1774511985700352189" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrate</a> trans-identifying Americans. Notably, President Biden is the only president to ever recognize &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; with a presidential proclamation.
Still, Jean-Pierre contended that the controversy was actually &#8220;misinformation,&#8221; arguing that &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; just so happened to have fallen on the holy Christian day, and Biden was right to celebrate transgenderism in numerous posts and the proclamation.
&#8220;Every year for the past several years on March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility is marked,&#8221; she told the press. &#8220;Easter falls on different Sundays every year, and this year it happened to coincide with Transgender Visibility Day.&#8221;
&#8220;What we&#8217;ve been hearing out there [is] a lot of misinformation done on purpose,&#8221; she accused. &#8220;It is dishonest what we have heard the past 24 hours. It is untrue,&#8221; the press secretary claimed. 
Jean-Pierre also said Biden is a &#8220;Christian who celebrates Easter with family&#8221; and &#8220;stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s &#8220;unsurprising&#8221; politicians on the Right &#8220;are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric.&#8221;
&#8220;President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit,&#8221; Jean-Pierre said. &#8220;That is not what this administration is about. That is not what being a leader is about, and this misinformation out there [is] bad and it is dividing.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Wednesday about the death of 31-year-old NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed earlier this week allegedly by a career criminal, and Jean-Pierre used her answer to push for more gun control.
&#8220;Look, our hearts go out to this officer who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. We&#8217;re also praying for his family during this difficult time, who now has an empty seat at their dinner table,&#8221; the press secretary said. &#8220;President Biden is deeply grateful for the sacrifices police officers make to keep our communities safe. This shooting is yet another painful reminder of the toll of gun violence.&#8221;
Diller, a husband and father who had served three years on the force, was shot in the stomach while making a traffic stop Monday evening in Queens, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/us-news/nypd-cop-shot-in-chest-in-queens-rushed-to-hospital-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The suspect in the shooting death of the officer was identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car pulled over by Diller when he allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired at the officer. Rivera has 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to the Post. He was also in prison from 2011 to 2014 for first-degree assault.
Jean-Pierre then touted Biden&#8217;s executive actions, along with work Congress has done, to push more gun control.
&#8220;Obviously, more work needs to be done. We need Congress to continue to act on making sure that our communities are safe, and again, our hearts go out to this officer and his family. It&#8217;s a difficult time for them.&#8221;

Lindy Jones, the driver of the vehicle pulled over by Diller, also has a lengthy criminal rap sheet and was arrested on gun charges last April. In 2003, Jones was convicted of attempted murder and robbery and spent ten years in prison before being released in 2013. Jones was arraigned on Wednesday and charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a defaced firearm, ABC 7 reported.
Investigators said they believe Jones and Rivera were casing a T-Mobile store when Diller and another officer approached their vehicle to ask them to move from a bus stop where they were illegally parked. When the suspects were asked to roll down their windows, they refused, and Rivera allegedly fired a single shot at Diller, which hit him below his vest, according to authorities.
Rivera was shot in the back when the other officer returned fire. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.

“I can’t … say it any clearer: It is the good guys against the bad guys and these bad guys are violent,” said New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, adding that the shooting was another “senseless act of violence.”

KJP lost her cool during an interview with Charlotte’s WBT News Director Mark Garrison during a live radio interview after Garrison asked her about Biden&#8217;s mental fitness for office and the high costs of everyday products.
&#8220;When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today, it was interesting, though, they all said, &#8216;would you please just ask her, does the president have dementia?&#8217; So before I move on from that, does he?&#8221; Garrison asked.
&#8220;That Mark, Mark, I can&#8217;t even believe you&#8217;re asking me this question. That is a credibly offensive question to ask,&#8221; she fired back.
“But, you know people ask it,” Garrison responded.
“Wait. Oh let me — no, no, no, no, no. You — Mark, you, you, you, you, you’re taking us down this rabbit hole. Let me, let me, let me be very clear about this,” KJP responded.
&#8220;For the past several years, the president’s physician has laid out very, in a comprehensive way, the president’s health,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This is a president — if you watch him every day, if you really pay attention to his record and what he has done, you will see exactly how focused he’s been on the American people, how historic his actions have been. And so I’m not even going to truly, truly, really, you know, take, take the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting. And, and so we can, you know, we can move on to the next question.&#8221;
Garrison then mentioned the high costs of groceries and gas and asked how does Biden win votes when people are struggling to make ends meet.

&#8220;Look, the president understands. He grew up in a middle-class family, working class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He gets it,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;He understands how difficult it is for Americans who are sitting around their kitchen table every month trying to figure out what they’re going to pay for. You have to remember, when the president walked into this administration, there were multiple crises happening. There was COVID, there was, the economy was in a tailspin because of the last administration, because of what the President Trump left us with.&#8221;
&#8220;Now you’re asking me about gas prices,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The president took action on gas prices. Let’s not forget Russia’s invasion on Ukraine skyrocketed prices of gas. And because the president took action, we see we are in a different place than we were a year ago in gas prices. Eggs, milk, seafood products, all the important groceries, those costs have gone down because of what this president has been able to do. And, and with that, thank you so much, Mark. Have an amazing, amazing day.&#8221;
KJP then abruptly hung up the phone as the line went to a dial tone.
&#8220;Wow!&#8221; Garrison responded. &#8220;Wow!&#8221;

White House Press Briefing

Karine Jean-Pierre Hangs Up Phone During Interview After Fair Questions Asked About Biden

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> claimed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden does not need to take a cognitive test because Biden &#8220;passes a cognitive test every day&#8221; by being president.
White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-doctor-claims-biden-fit-for-duty-after-physical" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> in a memo that there were “no new concerns” identified during the course of the exam from the last time that Biden was examined in 2023.
Biden was not given a cognitive test during his exam despite recent polling showing the overwhelming majority of Americans having serious concerns about Biden’s ability to serve as president because of issues related to his mental fitness.
&#8220;The president doesn’t need a cognitive test,&#8221; Jean-Pierre said. &#8220;That is not my assessment. That is not my assessment. That is the assessment of the president’s doctor. That is also the assessment of the neurologist who has also made that assessment as well.&#8221;
O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s memo makes no mention of any medical professionals saying that Biden does not need to take a cognitive exam.
&#8220;The president, who is also the commander-in-chief — he passes a cognitive test every day — every day, as he moves from one topic to another topic, trying — understanding the granular level of these topics,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You saw him talk about a fighting crime today. Tomorrow, he’s going to go to the border. Next week, he’s going to give a State of the Union address.&#8221;
A reporter pressed Jean-Pierre on why Biden won&#8217;t take a cognitive exam if the White House is so confident in Biden&#8217;s abilities.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;I think folks need to understand that the president passes, again, a cognitive test every day,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;If you look at what a clinical cognitive test is actually, what it actually does, it is a 15-minute appointment that is — that is administered by someone that, most of the time, people don’t actually know.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre repeatedly stated that Biden&#8217;s doctors do not believe that he needs to take a cognitive exam, yet none of those doctors attended the press briefing, which they have in the past, where they could have answered questions from reporters.
When asked why the White House was not making any of the doctors available for reporters to speak to, Jean-Pierre claimed that it was because doing so was &#8220;actually not the precedent.&#8221;

White House: Biden Does Not Need Cognitive Exam Because He ‘Passes A Cognitive Test Every Day’

The White House suggested on Monday that President Joe Biden will not take a cognitive test during his yearly physical exam — despite overwhelming skepticism from voters that he has the mental fitness needed to serve a second term.
The news comes after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded last week in his criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but no criminal charges were warranted, adding that prosecutors “also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury…as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday that Biden will have a his yearly physical exam, although she was unsure of the exact timeline.
When asked if he would be taking a &#8220;cognitive test&#8221; as part of his physical, she said that Dr. Kevin O&#8217;Connor believes that Biden &#8220;proves every day how he operates, how he thinks by dealing with world leaders, by making really difficult decisions on behalf of the — the American people, whether it’s domestic, whether it’s national security.&#8221;
&#8220;And so, he shows it every day on how he thinks, how he operates,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And so, that is how — that is how Dr. O’Connor sees it. And that’s how I’m going to leave it.&#8221;
Polling has shown that the  <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/poll-americans-on-biden-age/story?id=107126589">86% of Americans</a> believe Biden, who has not taken a cognitive test since being in office, is too old to be president again, while 76% have concerns about his mental fitness.

White House Suggests Biden Won’t Take Cognitive Test During Physical Exam

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> said on Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s remarks about Biden&#8217;s mental fitness — mainly his serious memory issues — do &#8220;not live in reality.&#8221;
Hur&#8217;s remarks were contained in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-willfully-retained-disclosed-classified-materials-but-no-criminal-charges-warranted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report on his criminal investigation</a> into Biden&#8217;s handling of classified material, which said that Biden should not be charged <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-has-significantly-limited-memory-didnt-remember-when-he-was-vp-or-when-son-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in part because</a> no jury would ever convict him because he was an elderly man with a &#8220;poor memory.&#8221;
&#8220;If the special counsel says President Biden has significant limitations on memory, then who is helping him run the country?&#8221; a reporter asked Jean-Pierre during Friday&#8217;s press briefing.
&#8220;The President of the United States runs the country,&#8221; she responded. &#8220;The commander-in-chief runs the country.&#8221;
&#8220;How can he be trusted with nuclear codes?&#8221; the reporter pressed. &#8220;I get that you are saying nobody in the building would say they have an issue with his memory, but just the little part of what we get to see, he has made mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre responded, &#8220;I want to be very clear here. The reality is, that report, that part of the report does not live in reality. It just doesn&#8217;t.&#8221;
When asked if the special counsel was &#8220;lying&#8221; about Biden&#8217;s memory, Jean-Pierre claimed that the special counsel&#8217;s remarks were &#8220;gratuitous.&#8221;
&#8220;It is unacceptable. And it does not live in reality,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;That is just the facts.&#8221;

KJP On Special Counsel Noting Biden’s Memory Issues: ‘That Part Of The Report Does Not Live In Reality’

Top Republicans fired back at the White House this week after the Biden administration threatened that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would deport fewer illegal aliens if Republicans did not pass the Senate&#8217;s controversial border bill.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2024/02/07/press-gaggle-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-nsc-coordinator-for-strategic-communications-john-kirby-en-route-new-york-ny/">claimed</a> to reporters on Wednesday that congressional Republicans were &#8220;choosing partisan politics over our national security&#8221; because they do not support the bill that many experts and critics say will make President Joe Biden&#8217;s illegal immigration crisis even worse.
&#8220;Here is what that means: ICE would be forced to reduce its removal operations, its total detention capacity, and more,&#8221; she said. &#8220;When ICE can’t conduct these operations, our national security and public safety will be harmed.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre&#8217;s attempt to shift blame for the administration&#8217;s border crisis onto Republicans comes as numerous recent polls have shown that the crisis is the top issue for many voters, and the overwhelming majority of Americans blame Biden for it.
Republican senators and House members responded to Jean-Pierre&#8217;s remarks on social media by saying they amounted to extortion by the Biden administration.
&#8220;And yet, in 2022, when I sought to provide more $ to deport CRIMINAL illegal aliens, every single Democrat voted against it,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SenatorHagerty/status/1755649184051425424">said</a> Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN). &#8220;Don’t believe this blame-shifting nonsense.&#8221;
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarshaBlackburn/status/1755408584597495826">responded</a>: &#8220;Is Biden the President or a mobster? Attempting to shake down Republicans for a bad immigration bill won’t secure our southern border. It shows Biden can fix the problem that he created.&#8221;
&#8220;This is called extortion,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1755399486933770282">said</a> Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).
&#8220;This is blackmail,&#8221; Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomCottonAR/status/1755384488555577348">posted</a> on X. &#8220;And an admission that Biden controls the level of illegal immigration. The entire border crisis is by design.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> snapped at a reporter this week when she was asked about President Joe Biden&#8217;s mental health after he said that he recently talked to a French president who has been dead for nearly three decades.
While delivering remarks in Las Vegas on Sunday, ahead of the Nevada primary this week, Biden hearkened back to a G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place in June of 2021 during which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up.
“I sat down and I said, ‘America’s back’ and Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France looked at me and said, ‘You know why — how long you back for?'&#8221; Biden recalled, invoking François Mitterrand, the former president of France.
A glaring issue with that recollection is that Mitterrand, who served as president of France from 1981 to 1995, has been dead since 1996. At the time of the G-7 meeting in 2021, Emmanuel Macron was president of France.
A reporter asked Jean-Pierre on Tuesday: &#8220;And how is President Biden ever going to convince the three quarters of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in 1996?&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not even gonna go down that rabbit hole with you, sir,&#8221; she responded.
&#8220;What is the rabbit hole?&#8221; the reporter fired back. &#8220;He said he talked to [former French President] Mitterrand and&#8211;&#8221;
&#8220;You saw the president in Vegas, in California,&#8221; she responded. &#8220;You&#8217;ve seen the President in South Carolina. You saw him in Michigan. I&#8217;ll just leave it there.&#8221;
