If Joe Biden is going to push the idea that raising corporate taxes helps inflation, you would think the new Press Secretary would be ready to back that up.
Well, Peter Doocy threw that exact question at Jean-Pierre during her first day on the job.
It was not pretty.
Silence!
Doocy softened her before the blow.
He stated, “Karine, congratulations, it’s nice to see you up there.
Then he hit her, “The president’s Twitter account posted the other day if you wanna bring down inflation, let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share. How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?”
When she asked if Doocy was talking about a specific tweet, this is one he cited…
You want to bring down inflation?
Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 13, 2022
She replied, “Look, we have talked about, um, we have talked about this past year, about making sure that the wealthiest among us are paying their fair share, and that is important to do.
“That is something the president has been working on every day when we talk about inflation and lowering costs, so it’s very important that as we’re seeing costs rise, as we’re talking about how to, you know, build an America that’s equal for everyone and doesn’t leave anyone behind, that is an important part of that as well.”
As you noticed, she did not actually address the question, which Doocy pointed out.
When he pressed on, Jean-Pierre continued to spew rubbish, stating, “So I think we encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code that doesn’t charge manufacturers workers, cops, builders a higher percentage of their earnings, that the most fortunate people in our nation, and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting an existential problem if you think about it, that is an example. To support basic collective bargaining rights as well.
“But look, by not, without, having a fairer tax code, which is what I’m talking about, then all, like, manufacture workers, cops, you know, it’s not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks who are not paying taxes at all.”
Doocy fired right back, “But what does that have to do with inflation?
“The President said if you wanna bring down inflation let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
“Jeff Bezos came out and tweeted about that, he said ‘the newly created disinformation board should review this tweet.’
“Would you be okay with that?”
Jean-Pierre was clearly flustered, stating, “Look, it’s not a huge mystery why one of the wealthiest individuals on earth, right, opposes an economic agenda that is for the middle class, that cuts some of the biggest costs families face, fights inflation for the long haul, right, and that’s what we’re talking about, that’s why we’re talking about lowering inflation here, and adds to the historic deficit reduction the president is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share. That’s what we’re talking about.”
Again, never answered the question.
Doocy 1, Jean-Pierre 0.

The Democrats want someone to take the bait from Biden as doing the worst job so they have this black inexperienced woman to take the bait. All eyes shift from Joe to her as incompetent.
Neither one of them are capable of being in our government, the elit of the democrat party have chosen the most illiterate people they can find for these jobs to make sure (they think) it will make them look smart. Well folks, as you know WE THE PEOPLE are so much more aware of what the crooked, nasty things you are doing against us. May god teach yo RATs a better way.
Putts42,Amen !!!!!!!! They sure are NOT CAPABLE OF DOING JUSTICE TO OUR GREAT. COUNTRY!!!!! UNITED WE STAND !!! OUR NATION UNDER GOD!!!! IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Biden is paying his fair share also, along with Pelosi, Schumer, and they’re going to release their tax forms to prove it? Bidens Foundation also needs to be audited for following the rules also, since that’s where most of his “donations” went to. Maybe the good old IRS should start examining others returns?
AMEN!!!! GOD & US AMERICANS KNOW THISE ARE ALL LIES BY THE DEMORATES !!! They DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH !!!!!!! Biggest LIARS IN HISTORY!!! AMEN!!!!!! UNITED WE STAND!!!!!! IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!!!!!! OUR NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmso. I wish I could have a government. If Bidens actions and responses show what it takes to be President ,dang I know I could do the job and not screw up like he is. Oh wait I’m white,61,conservative. I think for my self and sad to say when I act like a joke it is on purpose. This man doesn’t even remember basic math,history or social studies.
Very good, I completely agree with you.
Uh, what was she trying to say because it made no sense at all. Sounded like she took lessons fro Pelosi and Biden on how to dodge questions. Better yet, how to pretend they know what they are talking about. Basically, they talk gibberish.
