White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answered press questions for the first time since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago on Monday, and… well… it did not go well.
First, Jean-Pierre played dumb (or dumber than usual) in response to a question about when Joe Biden “found out” about the raid.
“Can you tell us anything more?” a reporter asked. “Was he watching the news? Was he scrolling Twitter? Did someone in his staff flag it for him?”
She gave a nervous, stammered response. “I can tell you this: he was not uh, aware of, of, of, uhh of… of… of the uh… what is it, the Mar-a-Lago raid? I don’t know what you guys are calling it—uh, uh… before it happened.
