Karine Jean-Pierre faces scrutiny over Biden's limited interviews

During the press conference, Jean-Pierre faced further inquiries about Biden's limited interviews compared to his predecessors.

"You saw the president in Vegas, in California. You’ve seen the president in South Carolina. You saw him in Michigan. I’ll just leave it there," Jean-Pierre said.

When questioned about the absence of a press conference during Biden's meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and no Super Bowl interview, Jean-Pierre emphasized the president's communication through "nontraditional ways."

"It just seems, again, like we’re in one of these instances where the president is not communicating with the press," the reporter said.

"Stay tuned. That is the answer for you," Jean-Pierre replied.

"The president will find many other ways to communicate with Americans, the millions of Americans out there," Jean-Pierre said. "And we will find those ways to do it, where we think the time is right, said Jean Pierre.

She defended the decision not to participate in a Super Bowl interview, citing the preference for enjoying the game and promising alternative means of reaching the American public.

Another added, "Remember this, when Cheeto was so much younger, 7 years ago? "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice."



 

One replied, "What a coward of a press agent. Never thought I'd miss the redhead. Same lies, but at least she didn't stumble as bad as this one."



 

"DOOCY is the best reporter in that group. He asks REAL questions!," Said one
