White House press secretary fumbles question on other Chinese surveillance flights during Biden admin

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday appeared to fumble when asked whether there have been other Chinese surveillance missions flown over the United States during Biden’s presidency.

The exchange came during a White House press briefing, two days after the U.S. military shot down the Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina.

A reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether the Chinese balloon, carrying sensors and surveillance equipment, was the first one identified flying over U.S. airspace under the Biden administration.

Jean-Pierre did not answer the question directly, saying "Chinese surveillance balloons have been around for some time" and "we even briefed Congress this past August."

"So, don’t have anything more to say or to share," Jean-Pierre said.

The reporter questioned how it was possible Chinese spy balloons traveled over the continental U.S. – at least three times – during the Trump administration but were not discovered until after Trump left office.

Jean-Pierre seemed to fumble her words and, again, didn’t answer directly.

"But again, we are ready to brief key officials to let them know … what the intelligence community was able to figure out," Jean-Pierre said.

She refused to share details

RE: Every talented black woman cringes when the press spokes-idiot or the cackling VP opens their mouths.

I’m sure you’re right.

But in 2017 I asked a white female student assistant at my university “Since you are obviously an A student and got here on your talents and intelligence isn’t it an insult that you will be placed with unqualified candidates for professional jobs and promotions as if you aren’t really good enough but will be looked at as that way? Wouldn’t you prefer to win on merit?

She replied: “No. I like having the guarantee I will always get ahead no matter what.”

If it were true someone would have leaked it.

If it were true, Biden gaslighters, people would have seen them, LIKE THEY DID THIS ONE!

This entire "administration" is a bunch of juvenile freaks.

Does she realize she gets paid because she is stupid? Think of everyone in this administration. They are all paid to be stupid. And we pay for it.

If Karine Jean-Pierre tripped and fell, she’d have to look through her binder to find the word “Ouch!”

I’m wondering if she’s starting to wilt under all the lies she tells.
