On Tuesday, Simon Ateba, a reporter from Africa, finally snapped and lashed out at Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean Pierre. What sparked his fire and fury was her repeatedly dodging questions relating to Biden’s document scandal, particularly hermisleading reporters as of late.
In fact, Simon was so furious that he told KJP, to her face, in front of all the other reporters, that she is unfit for her job.
As you can hear in the clip, Simon said “Karine, since you don’t have any answer on the classified documents, you don’t seem a good fit for this job. We do not seem to have any answer from you.”
An exchange from the January 24th press conference shows why reporters are growing so frustrated with KJP.
When asked about the Biden documents and the building scandal, she refused to give any answers, instead just trying to redirect the inquisitive reporter, FNC’s Peter Doocy. Here’s the transcript of that:
Q Thanks, Karine. After a Special Counsel was named but before the FBI searched, President Biden went to his house in Wilmington. What was he doing in there?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I would refer you to the White House Counsel.
Q So, it was something relating to this case?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office.
Q Okay. Do you think that this story was leaked by someone trying to bruise the President politically ahead of a reelection announcement?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office, as they have been the ones who’ve been
closely involved.
Q Okay. More basically, we know the President did it. Why did he do it?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office.
Q In the President’s own words, he admits to having inform ation that wasn’t his. Why did he smuggle it out?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I will let the statement of the President stand for itself. I’m just not going to go into a rabbit hole — down a rabbit hole with you on this.
