White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her Big Book of Talking Points scheduled a briefing today, and people couldn’t help but wonder:
Let’s see how many times reporters questions the White House about the Twitter Files today 👀
— Diana Glebova (@DianaGlebova) December 5, 2022
Sure enough, Jean-Pierre was asked about the “Twitter files” that show the social media platform under previous ownership working at the behest of the Biden campaign and other Democrats to suppress stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop and its contents ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Jean-Pierre said that Musk is the one trying to create a distraction, all while KJP tried hard to distract from what the “Twitter files” show happened:

Jean-Pierre on @elonmusk releasing the Twitter files: "We see this as an interesting, or a coincidence, that he would so haphazardly push this distraction full of old news [while] at the same time Twitter is facing questions about the rising volume of hate on their platform" pic.twitter.com/0IsQDX5OkY

Sorry, KJP, but the “distraction” call is coming from inside the house. And “old news”? Please!
She never answers the question. pic.twitter.com/Q9gZ1TP83S

If there’s one thing KJP excels at, it’s not answering the question.
A distraction for the original distraction. Interesting play call. A horrible one, yes. But interesting, nonetheless.

I also find it interesting they'd be keeping an eye on Twitter just as information was coming out about Biden.

All while pretending it’s Musk doing the attempted distracting. Shameless.
Why don’t any of the reporters in this room push back to this propaganda?

Maybe somebody should ask KJP if January 6th is “old news.”
