One of the problems that’s gotten worse thanks to his advanced age is Joe Biden’s penchant for gaffes.
This often puts Biden’s inept press secretary Karne Jean-Pierre behind the eight ball.
And now Karine Jean-Pierre was left scrambling after Joe Biden’s horrible cognitive episode.
Joe Biden insults America’s ally Japan
When Joe Biden campaigned for President in 2020, he promised that the “adults would be in charge” once again in foreign policy.
The media bought this line of baloney hook line and sinker even though Donald Trump: became the first President in 40 years to start no new wars; negotiated a deal to end the war in Afghanistan; and struck historic peace agreements between Israel and her neighbors.
Since taking office, Biden orchestrated the greatest American military humiliation since the end of the Vietnam War when the Taliban took over America.
World war threatens to break out in Europe after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Hamas staged the worst terrorist attack in Israel’s history when Jihadists butchered 1,200 Jews on October 7.
And now Joe Biden insulted Japan – one of America’s top allies in the Pacific – by calling them “xenophobic” bigots and lumping them in with Russia and Communist China.
“You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants. We look to – the reason – look, think about it – why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants,” Biden said at a fundraiser.
Karine Jean-Pierre struggles to defend Biden’s incompetence
In any conflict between the United States and Communist China over Taiwan, America would depend on Japan to help provide a military presence in the Pacific in terms of troops and bases due to proximity.
Biden calling the Japanese racists, who are no better than tyrannical governments, isn’t a great way to forge a military partnership.
Reporters asked Jean-Pierre if Biden would take the natural step of apologizing.
“Does the president want to apologize to Japan?” a reporter wondered.
Instead of saying “yes,” Jean-Pierre began spinning to make it seem like a cognitively-impaired Biden no longer has control over his mouth.
“The broader case that he was trying to make, which I think most leaders and allies across the globe understand, is he was trying — he was saying that when it comes to who we are as a nation, we are a nation of immigrants. That is in our DNA,” Jean-Pierre responded.
“Our allies and partners know very well how much this president respects them,” Jean-Pierre added.
One reporter pointed out that “xenophobic” isn’t the type of word you use to describe a friend.
In America, it’s how Democrats and the media slander Trump supporters.
Jean-Pierre attempted a second set of evasive maneuvers.
“I think the president was very clear, and I think —” Jean-Pierre began.
But a reporter pointed out that Biden wasn’t clear at all which is why they were asking Jean-Pierre for an explanation.
“He wasn’t very clear. I mean, that’s why we’re asking you,” the reporter followed up.
And as usual, when the question wasn’t one, Jean-Pierre could pull a scripted reply from her binder for a response; Jean-Pierre never bothered to try and answer.
“Here’s what I’m saying,” Jean-Pierre concluded. “He was talking about who we are as a country, right? He was talking about the importance of being a country of immigrants.”
