‘I’m simply not going to reply to that from right here,” snapped White Home Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Wednesday to a query about how the Biden household profited from a Chinese language vitality firm.
And thus the Biden White House revealed its tactic for Joe’s re-election campaign: Ignore, and hope many of the media runs interference for them.
Heck, it labored earlier than!
Jean-Pierre was rebuffing a query from Fox Information’ Peter Doocy concerning the Biden members of the family getting than 1,000,000 {dollars} in secret payments from corporations tied to the Chinese language Communist Social gathering.
Jean-Pierre declared, “It’s been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the previous couple years. And I’m simply not going to get into it from right here.”
And the press secretary entitles herself to disregard any journalist who may ask pesky questions.
When a reporter requested Biden concerning the funds to his household, he disregarded the query: “That’s not true!” Biden supplied no rebuttal to the March 16 report by Home Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) detailing Financial institution of America money transfers to the Bidens and associates.
What precisely wasn’t true?
However Biden doesn’t need to show his innocence.
For a lot of the media, one easy phrase “disproves” all of the allegations in opposition to Biden: Republicans.
The motives of critics matter infinitely greater than any transgressions Biden dedicated.
At The Washington Publish, columnist Philip Bump accused Comer of “live-streaming his fishing expedition.”
He derided Comer’s investigation: “It’s almost all innuendo, an enormous corkboard with a lot of footage however little interconnecting string.”
As a result of Comer goals at “seeing the Democratic president undermined,” there is no such thing as a want to reply to his proof.
One other Washington Publish article frets that “the Home Freedom Caucus is vastly overrepresented” on Comer’s Oversight Committee.
So any member of Congress who’s involved about freedom is robotically illegitimate?
A Publish piece with a “witch hunt” headline agonized concerning the “weaponization” subcommittee’s plans “to probe ongoing Justice Division investigations.”
Did the Publish fret when Democratic congressional committees made deluges of false fees in opposition to the Trump administration?
No, that was merely stopping “democracy dying in darkness” or some such balderdash.
An overheated New York Occasions profile this week declared Comer has “cutthroat instincts” and hails from “one of the politically vicious counties in America.”
The Occasions castigates Comer as “an aggressive promoter of sinister-sounding claims concerning the president and his household.”
Making it “sinister sounding” apparently absolves them of precise reporting.
The identical sample occurred on the eve of the 2020 presidential election.
A lot of the media had been way more involved with who gave The New York Publish Hunter Biden’s laptop quite than the laptop computer itself.
Biden gained due to lies concerning the laptop computer from himself, 51 former prime intelligence officers and a phalanx of pundits and reporters who pretended Uncle Joe was as honorable as Jimmy Carter.
However will there quickly be too many scandals for Biden’s media buddies to bury?
Rep. Comer stated final week’s report offers with solely “the primary of at the least a dozen trails of cash . . . that went from China to the Biden household.”
Biden could face far larger peril from the Treasury Division’s determination final week to allow the congressional committee to look at suspicious exercise stories on international cash the Biden household acquired.
Biden supporters revere the federal government, so how are they going to vaporize these official stories?
The media don’t need to cowl up Biden’s abuses endlessly — solely till Nov. 5, 2024.
After Election Day, any international kickbacks the Biden household snared can be as irrelevant as Hunter Biden’s laptop computer was after Nov. 3, 2020.
Will the media proceed to painting every Biden “That’s not true!” vow as if he had been Moses muttering on Mt. Sinai?
How for much longer will the media ravage their very own credibility to burnish Saint Joe’s halo?
