Karine Jean-Pierre abruptly quits radio interview

Karine Jean-Pierre was taking part in an interview with 99.3 WBT Charlotte news director Mark Garrison ahead of Joe Biden's upcoming visit to Raleigh recently, and it didn't go the way either of them would have hoped.

When Garrison asked about Joe Biden's declining mental abilities, the White House press secretary was so upset that she abruptly ended the interview.

Garrison asked whether or not Joe Biden was suffering from dementia.

Jean-Pierre called the question incredibly offensive and eventually ended the interview early.

The press secretary said, "I’m not even going to truly, truly, really, you know, take, take the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting. And, and so we can, you know, we can move on to the next question."

"How does Mr. Biden win votes when people don’t have as much disposable income?" was Garrison's next question.

"Look, the president understands. He grew up in a middle-class, working-class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He gets it. He understands how difficult it is for Americans who are sitting around their kitchen table every month trying to figure out what they’re going to pay for. You have to remember, when the president walked into this administration, there were multiple crises happening," Jean-Pierre answered.

She added that "there was COVID, the economy was in a tailspin because of the last administration, because of what President Trump left us with. Now you’re asking me about gas prices. The president took action on gas prices. Let’s not forget Russia’s invasion on Ukraine skyrocketed prices of gas. And because the president took action, we see we are in a different place than we were a year ago in gas prices. Eggs, milk, seafood products, all the important groceries, those costs have gone down because of what this president has been able to do."

After that, Karine had had enough, saying:

And, and with that, thank you so much, Mark. Have an amazing, amazing day.

Are you surprised the president's team is this fragile?
