White Home Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre has been having a troublesome time coping with questions on neurologist Dr. Kevin Canard’s go to to the White Home over the previous few days.
There have been some wild moments with journalist Ed O’Keefe on Monday the place the KJP and O’Keefe bought right into a shouting match. O’Keefe was asking about Canard’s Jan. 17 assembly with Joe Biden’s physician, the White Home doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, in addition to Canard’s different visits to the White Home. The KJP declined to touch upon these conferences or whether or not these visits have been associated to Biden. He’ll solely say that he has been seeing a neurologist for the previous three years as a part of his bodily.
The query got here up once more throughout a White Home briefing on Tuesday. In the course of the briefing, the KJP made it clear that the January 17 assembly was not associated to the care of Joe Biden.
However now the AP’s Seung Min Kim, who requested the query above, is reporting that they acquired an announcement from Karin Jean-Pierre saying the Jan. 17 assembly was about Biden, although she “erroneously stated” it wasn’t earlier within the day.
“For the reason that date in query will not be talked about, I need to make clear that the January 17 assembly between Dr. O’Connor and Dr. Cannard was for the President’s bodily relationship,” Jean-Pierre stated in an announcement to the AP. tuesday “This was one in every of 3 times the President noticed Dr. Cannard, every time for his bodily. The outcomes of every check are made public.”
so wait He was particularly requested if the January 17 assembly was associated to Biden, and he denied it. Now, he is making an attempt to say that as a result of “the query did not point out the date” it was by some means deceptive or he could not be telling the reality? Is he kidding? However apparently it is simply the media’s fault for not understanding him.
The story of the Parkinson’s neurologist visiting the White Home is extra concerned

As Kim famous in his story, that is the second time previously week that the KJP has needed to “make clear” one thing as a result of one thing he stated earlier was false/deceptive.
Final week, Jean-Pierre stated Biden “did not get checked out by a health care provider” for a chilly he seen in the course of the June 27 debate. However Biden later stated in a non-public assembly with Democratic governors that his physician had examined him after the talk ended. Jean-Pierre stated he meant that Biden had not acquired a full medical examination and that the president had certainly “checked in” together with his physician, which he does a number of instances every week.
So will they blame him for this lie tomorrow? Even now, after admitting they have been lied to twice, it is nonetheless “misspoken.” They should hammer him within the briefing for this as a result of at this level why would anybody consider something he has to say about something?
“Karin Jean-Pierre misspoke”
If there have been just one phrase to explain somebody saying one thing that is not true. https://t.co/qpSkT1tMB9
