As usual, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre hadn’t heard a thing about what reporters were asking Monday. She hadn’t heard Vice President Kamala Harris compare the overturning of Roe v. Wade to slavery and the ownership of people’s bodies, so Fox News’ Steve Doocy went ahead and read the quote aloud for her. After seemingly agreeing with Harris, Jean-Pierre backtracked a little and hear the quote in context. Does the president agree with Harris? That’s a mystery that will have to wait for Tuesday’s press briefing.

"I have not seen her comments," says Karine Jean-Pierre when asked if the WH agrees with Kamala Harris comparing Roe v. Wade decision on abortion to slavery.
After Peter Doocy reads the quote, Jean-Pierre says she still needs to see the full quote for herself before responding

The Press Secretary of the United States just agreed with Kamala Harris' comparison of abortion to slavery. This administration is a complete joke.

If Jean-Pierre needs to hear it from Harris herself, the video’s right here:
“We know, NAACP, that our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies.”

She should know by now that Kamala makes dumb comments every single time! 🤡 seeing it for herself is not going to change the comment! 😂

That is because @PressSec will never be held to a given answer if she never gives one.
She is smart, in that regard, but it still makes her a liberal piece of shit.

When nothing else works, blame it on race!

Will Biden come out and support Harris? Of course not, because he never holds press conferences where he’d be asked such a question. He won’t comments because he knows he can get away without commenting.
