White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday turned into a stuttering mess after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy quoted Jen Psaki.
“Jen Psaki says that ‘crime is a huge vulnerability for Democrats.’ Why would she say that?” Peter Doocy asked Karine Jean-Pierre.
Doocy was referring to Jen Psaki’s remarks on Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Psaki said if the midterms are a referendum on Joe Biden, the Democrats will lose.
“Look, I think the Democrats – if the election is about who is the most extreme, as we saw with Kevin McCarthy touch on there with Marjorie Taylor Greene… then they’re gonna win. If it is a referendum on the president, they will lose and they know that,” Psaki said.
“They also know that crime is a huge vulnerability for Democrats, I would say one of the biggest vulnerabilities,” Psaki added.
Karine Jean-Pierre denied Psaki made the statement, but it’s on video.
“I don’t agree with your characterization of what she actually said,” Karine Jean-Pierre quipped.
