It appears Joe Biden’s new White House press secretary was a little nervous on her first day.
Jen Psaki’s replacement had a hard time answering questions from none other than Fox News’ Peter Doocy — the only White House reporter willing to challenge the administration.
Karine Jean-Pierre dipped, dodged, and ducked away from Doocy’s line of questioning when he asked about a tweet from Joe Biden about inflation.
This is the tweet in question:
You want to bring down inflation?
Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 13, 2022
Biden again is trying to hammer home his left-wing agenda that states America is broke because billionaires don’t pay taxes — a debunked myth that Democrats invent to justify tax hikes.
Doocy simply asked what proof the cognitively deficient President had that raising taxes on corporations and billionaires will cure inflation.
Jean-Pierre seemed alarmed, baffled by the question and clearly caught off guard before she responded, “Um, so, are you talking about a specific tweet?”

She proceeded to babble on in a nonsensical rant filled with “um” and “uh” — a true sign of not knowing what you’re talking about.
Doocy pressed again, asking: “But how does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?”
“But look, by not, without, having a fairer tax code, which is what I’m talking about, then all, like, manufacture workers, cops, you know, it’s not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks who are not paying taxes at all,” she continued.
“But what does that have to do with inflation?” Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre simply couldn’t manage. However, she was incredibly clear during the portion her press briefing when she described her accolades, such as being a “black, gay, immigrant woman” as if that somehow counts for anything.

Inspired by Elon Musk, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos took Biden to task over the aforementioned tweet, spurring a battle of wits between the White House and Big Tech.
In fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country. https://t.co/a8cygcunEG

Meanwhile, you can’t argue with the facts: Inflation reached its quickest uptick since December 1981 after soaring 8.5% in March.
