Karine Jean-Pierre Can’t Handle Questions, Fully Melts Down

(RepublicanReport.org) – White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre regularly holds press briefings where she answers reporters’ questions about current events and the administration. While the interactions within the briefing room are typically civil, frustrations can occur, as evidenced by a recent interaction between the press secretary and a reporter pushing for health news about the president.

On July 8, a reporter asked Jean-Pierre if a Parkinson’s disease expert who reportedly visited the White House nearly 12 times “participate in anything surrounding the care of the president.” She answered that President Joe Biden’s February health report showed that the US leader had an extensive neurological exam, and it revealed “no findings consistent with any…neurological disorders.”

The reporter shot back, stating that the press secretary didn’t answer the question. The back-and-forth continued, with the pair talking over each other for an extended period. Jean-Pierre finally said there was no reason for the reporter to “go back and forth with [her] in this aggressive way.”

Unsatisfied, the reporter continued to push for an answer about whether or not the president was examined by a Parkinson’s expert. Jean-Pierre mentioned that many members of the military come to the White House for examination in the medical care unit, indicating the doctor visits could be for any of them — not necessarily the president.

Jean-Pierre then stated directly that Biden is not being treated for Parkinson’s in any way. The press secretary also added that personal attacks against her in the press room were not acceptable and that she always does her best to be open and honest from the podium.

The president’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, followed up the briefing with a letter explaining why a neurological consultant, Dr. Kevin Cannard, visited the White House. He said the specialist treats “thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations” and other personnel.
