It appears Joe Biden’s new White House press secretary was a little nervousĀ on her first day.
Jen Psaki’s replacement had a hard time answering questions from none other than Fox News’ Peter Doocy — the only White House reporter willing to challenge the administration.
Karine Jean-PierreĀ dipped, dodged, and ducked away from Doocy’s line of questioning when he askedĀ about a tweet fromĀ Joe Biden about inflation.
This is the tweet in question:
You want to bring down inflation?
Letās make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.

Biden again is trying to hammer home his left-wing agenda that states America is broke because billionaires don’t pay taxes — a debunked myth that Democrats invent to justify tax hikes.
Doocy simply asked what proof the cognitively deficient President had thatĀ raising taxes on corporationsĀ and billionaires will cure inflation.
Jean-Pierre seemed alarmed, baffled by the question and clearly caught off guard before she responded, “Um, so, are you talking about a specific tweet?”Ā
DOOCY: "The President's Twitter account posted the other day…How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?"

She proceeded to babble on in a nonsensical rant filled with “um” and “uh” — a true sign of not knowing what you’re talking about.
Doocy pressed again, asking: āBut how doesĀ raising taxes on corporationsĀ lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?ā
āBut look, by not, without, having a fairer tax code, which is what Iām talking about, then all, like, manufacture workers, cops, you know, itās not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks who are not paying taxes at all,ā she continued.
āBut what does that have to do with inflation?ā Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre simply couldn’t manage. However, she was incredibly clear during the portion of her press briefing when she described her accolades, such as being a “black, gay, immigrant woman” as if that somehow counts for anything.

Inspired by Elon Musk, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos took Biden to task overĀ the aforementioned tweet, spurring a battle of wits between the White House and Big Tech.
In fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesnāt help the country. https://t.co/a8cygcunEG

Meanwhile, you can’t argue with the facts.
Inflation reached its quickest uptick since December 1981 after soaring 8.5% in March and the American people have become increasingly vocal about a radical decrease in their quality of life since Biden took the helm and destroyed our economy.
