“How Can He Be Trusted With The Nuclear Codes”: Doocy Decimated KJP With Critical Question On Gaffe-Prone President Biden [WATCH]
The February 9 White House Press Briefing, one that was predictably spicy given Biden’s shockingly bad lapses of memory and gaffes the night before, along with the Special Counsel’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, in which Special Counsel Hur noted Biden has significant memory issues. Particularly, Peter Doocy demanded an answer from KJP on how Biden could be trusted to run the country and with the nuclear codes if he has such terrible memory issues.
Beginning, Doocy, the last questioner in the press briefing, asked who is helping Biden run the country if he has such severe mental limitations. He asked, “Thank you, Karine. If the special counsel says President Biden has got “significant limitations” on his memory, then who is helping him run the country?” Predictably, KJP refused to give a straight answer. She said, “The President of the United States runs the country. The Commander-in-Chief runs the country.”
Doocy then tried a different tack. Asking about one particularly important and dangerous responsibility of Biden’s as president, he asked, “How can he be trusted with the nuclear codes if — I get that you’re saying that nobody in the building would say that he’s got an issue with his memory. But just the little part of what we get to see, he has made mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.”
KJP, instead of answering that, decided to attack the veracity of the Special Counsel’s report. She said, “So, I’m going to be very clear here. The reality is that report — that part of the report does not live in reality. It just doesn’t.” Doocy tried to interject, asking, “So, the special counsel is —” She did as well, saying, “It is — it — it is —” But Doocy finished his question, saying, “— lying about the President’s memory?”
