White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said a question from a North Carolina radio interviewer about President Joe Bidens cognitive abilities was incredibly insulting. (Check out the audio below.)
On Tuesday, Mark Garrison of Charlottes 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 cant even believe youre asking me this question, Jean-Pierre replied.
But, you know people ask it, Garrison said.

On edit, Garrison sounds like an ass.

(16,887 posts)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.

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