(The Center Square) – The White House side-stepped questions Tuesday about how President Joe Biden would handle a late-night nuclear attack.
Biden, 81, has faced growing questions about his health and ability to lead after a troubling debate performance.
Fox News journalist Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday how Biden would handle a nuclear attack after 8 p.m. after the president said he was sharpest before that time.
Jean-Pierre said a team informs the president about any news relevant to the American people. She said the president’s National Security Council would break such news to the president.
Doocy also asked if first lady Jill Biden was making decisions for the president. Jean-Pierre said the president makes his own decisions.
“The president is the president of the United States. He makes decisions,” she said.
Biden is seeking reelection against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
Biden has shown visible signs of decline throughout his presidency, which were punctuated by Special Counsel Robert Hur’s final report on his investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House following his term as vice president under Barack Obama.
Hur declined to charge Biden, but his report highlighted Biden’s trouble remembering things, including the year his son died.
“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse,” according to the report, as The Center Square previously reported. “He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’)”
The report continued:
“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”
Since the debate, when Biden repeatedly stuttered and faltered, and at times became incoherent and trailed off, many Democrats have stepped forward calling for him to step aside from seeking reelection.
that is with out a doubt the biggest liar i have ever seen!
” Jean-Pierre said the president makes his own decisions.”
“The president is the president of the United States. He makes decisions,” she said.
Of course puppet president bumbling Biden makes decisions.
Like what flavor of Ice cream he will have that day.
What he will have for breakfast, Lucky Charms of coco puffs.
Which shoe to put on which foot.
I think he only gets to choose which shoe to put on the other foot.
He’s not choosing anything. HE IS BEING TOLD what to do.. Just like she is.
“Fox News journalist Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday how Biden would handle a nuclear attack after 8 p.m. after the president said he was sharpest before that time.”
#1. Phony journalist Peter Doocy asked the most stupidest and traitorous question.
WHY would anyone tell anyone how they would respond to a nuclear attack?
#2. Journalists use to be a proud honorable profession. Now Journalists are just low class, unethical bunch of LIARS. That will write anything that they are getting paid for. Facts, Truth or accuracy has nothing to do with what they write!
I believe you are wrong about Peter Doocy. He’s one of the very few White House reporters who ever challenges KJP or asks any questions of any significance greater than “what flavor of ice cream does the president like?” It’s a legitimate area of inquiry to ask how the president would respond to various crises. Unfortunately, we probably all know how he would respond – he’d ask Hunter what he should do.
The President is the President , he makes his own decisions??!! Am I the only person who has a problem with this response ????
Of course Mumble Bumbles makes his own decisions, he’s the President of the United States of America, don’t ya know that? LOL
” Jean-Pierre said the president makes his own decisions.”
“The president is the president of the United States. He makes decisions,” she said.
Right…. that’s believable.
I’d rather believe a used car salesman…
The bonus gift is, if Biden goes, KJP goes with him!! She’s about as awful as Kamala – they both give women in politics a bad name!
