Karine Jean-Pierre Gives Word Salad After Being Asked About Biden’s Pardon of Hunter
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre talked in circles after being asked about President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter for crimes that may have been committed within a 10-year period after insisting during the election that he would not do so.
Jean-Pierre, accompanying Biden on a trip to Africa, was asked on Air Force One if Biden had previously lied to the American people about the pardon.
“First of all, one of the things that the president always believes is to be truthful to the American people. That is something that he always truly believes. And if you see the end of his — I assume that you’ve read his statement — and you look at the end of that statement, and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph, and — and respects the thinking and how the American people will actually see this and his decision-making, and I would encourage everyone to read it full, the president’s statement,” Jean-Pierre said.
“He came to this decision this weekend. So let’s be very clear about that,” she continued. “He says it himself. It’s in his voice. He said he came to this decision this weekend. And he said he wrestled with this and — because he believes in the justice system, but he also believes that the war politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage of justice.”
