‘No use’: Karine Jean-Pierre exploded after refusing to answer question about Biden’s criticism of Trump

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is outraged after she declined to say whether she thought it was appropriate for President Joe Biden to speak out about his predecessor’s investigation.

During a press briefing on Wednesday, a reporter noted that Biden burned former President Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents last year.

“Do you think it was appropriate for President Biden to comment on the ongoing Justice Department investigation?” he asked.

She replied, “I’m going to be very brief today, as it relates to this particular issue, as it relates to an ongoing legal case, I’m going to refer you to the Department of Justice.”

“Because this covers anything you want to ask us about this legal matter, I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s office,” she added.

When the reporter remarked that he “just” asked Jean-Pierre to comment on “the person you work for,” she said, “I just commented. We move on… I have already answered your question.

“You really didn’t,” he retorted. “You didn’t answer.”

However, Jean-Pierre disagreed when she said, “Well, I did. This is your opinion… This is your opinion.”

Conservative commentator David Marcus tweeted in response to the exchange: “It’s getting to the point where reporters need to stop showing up. There is no reason why she cannot comment on Biden’s public statements.”

Rep. Cliff Benz (R-Ore.) tweeted, “To an administration that advertises its ‘transparency’, they are as transparent as a wooden door. And I would bet my money on the door in this competition.”

For the administration, which advertises its “transparency”, they are transparent, like a wooden door.

And I would bet my money on the door in this contest.

The exchange comes at a time when Biden is facing a special prosecutor’s investigation into his handling of classified documents.
