White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Joe Biden’s hateful, un-American speech wasn’t divisive when asked during a briefing yesterday.
You have to admire at least her ability to lie with a straight face.
Biden’s speech was so poisonous that he tried to walk it back the very next day. Polling indicates that a majority of Americans thought it was dangerous.
Jean-Pierre is engaging in pure gaslighting.

White House press secretary says Biden’s ‘soul of the nation speech’ wasn’t divisiveWhite House press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that President Biden’s “soul of the nation” speech — in which he cast former President Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans as a threat to the country — was not divisive.The comments came during a Wednesday afternoon press conference when a reporter asked Jean-Pierre if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell should be considered a “MAGA Republican.”Jean-Pierre declined to comment on the specifics but referenced Biden’s speech last Thursday in Philadelphia.”People have talked about if (the speech) was divisive. It wasn’t divisive,” Jean-Pierre said. “(President Biden) was talking to a majority of the country who agree that we have to protect our democracy, who agree that we have to protect our freedom, who agree that we have to protect our rights.”She said the president was talking about “a minority, a small group of people who have extreme views and who threaten that … core value of who we are as a country.””You don’t have to look further than Jan. 6, 2021, to see what their attack was on our democracy. It was very clear. We all saw it,” Jean-Pierre said. “And when you have people who say the protesters on that day were patriots, that’s problematic. That’s coming from leaders.”

Jean-Pierre should look at the graphic in this Trafalgar poll. That big green bar at the top represents all the people who saw Biden’s speech much differently than she did.
