Karine Jean-Pierre Asked About White House Speculation On Trump Calling Putin

Posted • October 9, 2024: The White House has put out there the suggestion that Donald Trump has been in touch with Vladimir Putin (kind of like how John Kerry was meeting with Iran behind President Trump's back). Philip Wegman asked Karine Jean-Pierre about speculation by the White House that Trump has been in contact with Putin. Jean-Pierre served up a big word salad.

Philip Wegmann: “You’re pretty consistent. You don't often speculate about hypotheticals, but today on more than one occasion, you've said that, if it's true that former President Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin, then that's concerning.”

KJP: “Yeah.”

Wegmann: “I'm — I'm wondering why is this administration willing to speculate about that in particular?”

KJP: “I said, if it's true.”

Wegmann: “It's speculation.”

KJP: “It's speculation, but if it's true, because I knew — right — we all knew that you all will have — will have questions about — uh — uh — uh — for us about the national security concerns, about our thoughts about this and so, if it is indeed true — right — we're talking about President Putin here. We see what's happening in Ukraine — Russia's aggression in Ukraine. That's about democracy. That's about Ukrainians fighting for their freedom, and we have heard the former President say and lobby against the — the funding — uh — for Ukraine. So, yeah, if it is true, it is indeed concerning because we're talking about our national security here, so we wanted to be — wanted to be very, very clear and so, I'll leave it there.”

It's speculation, but if it's true …then it is indeed concerning. It's ok guys, she just got promoted to senior advisor to the president. This isn't new, she has picked and chose "speculation" in the past, just like she picks and chooses when the Hatch Act applied. KJP can speculate when it fits her narrative. "We're not saying Trump has called Putin, we're just saying that it would be very concerning if Trump has called Putin." That really puts the rumor to rest. They lie as easy as they breathe. She’s a hot mess. (…)
