Whoops, looks like White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre just spilled the beans…and tossed Joe Biden right under the bus with it. In a stunning admission issued recently, KJP revealed how President Biden made an incorrect claim during a recent speech.
Jean-Pierre was responding to a question from a reporter regarding an erroneous statement about former New Mexico governor and Clinton Energy Secretary Bill Richardson in which the president had incorrectly offered condolences for his ‘wife of 50 years’ and their daughter, Heather.
The error was quickly noticed and removed from the website, but it left many wondering how such an inaccuracy could have been allowed to pass through the White House fact-checking process in the first place.

Jean Pierre apologized for the mistake, explaining that it was certainly not intentional and that when they realized it had happened, they immediately took measures to remove it from their website.
She went on to explain further that there is indeed a team of fact-checkers employed at the White House who take great care in reviewing press releases before they are released by the President. Unfortunately, she admitted, this time it slipped through unnoticed — an error for which she apologizes on behalf of her team.
This exchange between Jean Pierre and reporters was noted online by the research wing of the Republican National Committee (RNC), sparking outrage across platforms due to similar gaffes or misstatements made by Biden since he assumed office earlier this year — some of which even critics argue are outright lies — leading to much debate over his leadership style and credentials as commander in chief.
Just last month Fox News’ popular “The Five” program got into an intense back-and-forth over something Biden said while visiting Maui after one of America’s deadliest wildfires claimed hundreds of lives.
It appears clear that Joe Biden has demonstrated inconsistent behavior throughout his campaign as well as during various moments while acting as president thus far— whether those inconsistencies come in terms of statements made or actions taken— causing many Americans nationwide to question whether or not he truly has what it takes to lead our country.
