Karine Jean-Pierre Snaps At Interviewer's 'Incredibly Insulting' Question

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said a question from a North Carolina radio interviewer about President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities was “incredibly insulting.” (Check out the audio below.)

On Tuesday, Mark Garrison of Charlotte’s WBT told Jean-Pierre: “When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today, it was interesting, though. They all said: ‘Would you please just ask her, does the president have dementia?’ And so, before I move on from it ― does he?”

“Mark, I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question,” Jean-Pierre replied.

“But, you know people ask it,” Garrison said.

On edit, Garrison sounds like an ass.

She makes a lot of mistakes. Last week referred t the Princess of Wales as the Duchess of Cambridge.

While that is one of her titles - the official title is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. That is an easy one to get correct- especially in her position.

Garrison is an ass. But Jen Psaki would have very quickly and with savvy answered him and shut him up.

Jean-Pierre is thin skinned and not as skilled.

No one I know of would know or care in the least about that minor detail of protocol. I don't know why an American should.

She'd be wrong to answer either way.

As representing the President, Jean-Pierre can speak for policy, not medical/neurological status.
