White House press sec. only answers 2% of scandal questions
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has answered just 2% of the questions put to her this year about President Biden’s scandals — including just one about allegations of corruption involving disgraced first son Hunter, according to a damning study.
The Media Research Center (MRC) analyzed all of the administration’s press briefings over the first six months of this year, noting a sharp contrast to the president’s pledge to “bring transparency and truth back to the government.”
In that time, Biden’s spokeswoman was asked 252 questions about either the president’s mishandling of classified documents or the corruption allegations being investigated by House committees, the watchdog said.
Of those 252 queries, just six — a measly 2% — got a “definitive answer,” the analysis noted.
All but one of those was related to the boxes of docs, with four of those five answers vague references to Jean-Pierre’s own knowledge of events rather than the president’s.
The press secretary was asked about various claims of corruption at least 35 times — replying just once, the MRC report noted of another 2% response rate.
That was on June 13, when Jean-Pierre quoted Biden’s notorious dismissal of alleged audio recordings catching him accepting Burisma bribes while vice president — tied to his 53-year-old former drug addict son Hunter — as “malarkey.”
The trend has continued this month, with Jean-Pierre bluntly refusing to say if the president accepts Hunter’s love child as his granddaughter.
It’s not just Biden’s spokeswoman ignoring the mounting scandals.
In the first half of the year, “none of the big three broadcast news networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have spent a solitary second on any of the murky questions that surround Biden’s finances,” the MDC said.
