I was in this room, I think a lot of the other people \u2014 the people here were too when President Obama cried at that very podium hours after the Newtown shootings,\u201d Shear began, asking why Biden was not simply dropping everything and vowing to do whatever it took to get something done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people out there, I saw several of them on TV today, who say this president needs to do more than all of that,\u201d Shear continued, saying that many would like to see Biden declare a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/andrew-cuomo-who-blew-new-yorks-coronavirus-response-declares-first-in-the-nation-disaster-emergency-on-gun-violence-giving-himself-new-emergency-powers\/\">national emergency<\/a> and create task forces, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to say he\u2019s not leaving this building, he\u2019s \u2013 cancel his vacations, tell Congress, you know, members of Congress to get in a room and not leave until they got a solution,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd not accept the sort of half measures that you know are sort of being offered. So I guess the question is why isn\u2019t he doing any of that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre said that Biden had already declared gun violence to be a public health emergency, and then pivoted to tout his long record of work on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a president who has been working on gun violence, gun reform, comprehensive gun reform, since he was a senator, and he also was there as you\u2019re talking about what President Biden I mean, President Obama had to deal with. He was there. He was his partner in that and took on that portfolio of dealing with gun violence, he was there at the table,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut isn\u2019t that more an indictment than it is a plus to say that the current president has been involved in this for more than, you know, more than \u2014 for decades, and it\u2019s not being fixed. These things are happening over and over,\u201d Shear pushed back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Thursday that President Joe Biden was uniquely qualified to handle the question of gun reform moving forward \u2013 citing his decades of experience in Washington working to combat gun violence \u2014 but New York Times White House correspondent Michael Shear objected.
