In an astounding display of evasion, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at reporters asking the tough questions. In a heated press briefing, she was asked whether Joe Biden had lied to the public about his son’s foreign business dealings. The audacity of Jean-Pierre’s response was nothing short of astonishing.

This line of questioning came hot on the heels of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announcement to launch an impeachment inquiry. They cite evidence of a “culture of corruption” surrounding the Biden family as grounds for this inquiry.

A reporter asked Jean-Pierre, “How confident are you that there will be no evidence that incriminates President Biden in Hunter’s business dealings as this goes forward?” She responded with a dismissive tone, claiming that House Republicans have spent all year investigating the president and have found “no evidence” of wrongdoing.

But the press wasn’t done. Another reporter probed further, asking, “Is lying to the public wrong?” Jean-Pierre snapped back, calling the question “incredibly inappropriate.” Yet, she failed to answer the question, instead claiming that Republicans had “debunked their ridiculous attacks.” A clear attempt at deflection, but the American people demand answers, not sidestepping.

Towards the end of the conference, another journalist asked, “Can you explain why the president interacted with so many of his son’s foreign business associates? More than half of voters told CNN they believe the president was involved and he lied. You can’t have a response to that, Karine?”

Caught off guard, Jean-Pierre walked out of the press conference without answering the question. An act of defiance or an admission of guilt? The American public deserves to know the truth.

This episode is a glaring example of the administration’s attempts to dodge accountability. It raises the question: What is the Biden administration hiding? Is there a culture of corruption as the Republicans claim? And most importantly, did Biden lie to the American public? The American people deserve transparency, not evasion. They deserve answers, not deflections. And if the White House cannot provide that, then shouldn’t we consider a serious reassessment of its leadership?
